As most of you already know  although my surname is Gatty, I have larger autosomal matches to Gatley. Recently via Geneanet I came across a Mary Gatley born 1600 Ashford ,Kent,England. She died 1688 in  Long Island City, Queens, New York. I couldn't find a suitable Mary Gatley, but did find a Mary Goatley with the same details. I have  4 matches with Goatl(e)y at Ancestry DNA. Largest being 23-1. 1 at My heritage 13.7 -7.1. 4 at FTDNA. Largest = 19-1. Some were born in Kent, but died in Wigan,Lancashire.
