The last locations i knew of my aunts/uncles where in the southern Louisiana/Mississippi area...possibly Kenner, Kentwood(Tangipahoa, LA). Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I believe from my research that Margaret was unmarried in 1870 and living with parents in Lancashire when she gave birth to Sarah. I would appreciate anything you have on this family. Thank you for your kind offer. Deb

We now have the first 12 marker results for four of our original group of five testers. You can see the results by going to http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Ainsworth/ . So far all of the testers have been in the R1b haploid group which is not a surprise since it is the most common group for people originating in northern Europe. First of all, there was a one marker difference between my brother and another tester who we believe is also descended from the same James Hainsworth / Ainsworth. This kind of a one marker mutation is not terribly significant but the 25 marker test should be more definitive. Our U.S. participant who knows that he is descended from a line that was still in England in the 1800's is very different from the other U.S. results that we have so far. It will be interesting to see how closely he matches with our participant from England whose results have not come in yet. The biggest surprise for me is that there is a four marker difference between my brother and the descendant of Thomas Hainsworth / Ainsworth who is participating in the DNA study. I have always believed that Thomas was a first or second cousin of my James. They both originated in the Carolinas in the 1770s or 1780s and ended up living in MS. They both had brothers named Levin Hainsworth or Ainsworth. There are other things that seem to link their families but according to the information from FamilyTree DNA, these families probably have not shared a common ancestor for thousands of years. The only way that we will be able to resolve some of these issues is to expand our group of test participants. We need to recruit people from more of the different Ainsworth lines from different parts of the world. We also need more people descended each of the lines that are already represented in the testing group to be able to determine if they give matching results. This is the beginning of the puzzle. We need to collect many more pieces before it all begins to make sense. Barbara

Surnames: Henry S Ainsworth Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HO.2ADEB/338.1.4.1 Message Board Post: Hi, Henry S Ainsworth and Cassie Ainsworth were my great grandparents. My mother is the daugther of their son Ed Ainsworth and they are buried in Boswell Oklahoma next to my grandparents Ed and Hattie Ainsworth. At this time only 3 of their children are still alive, Alice Sutterfield, D A Ainsworth and Gus Ainsworth. There are several generations of their grandkids and great grand kids as well as a few great great grandkids that live in the area. We are currently trying to locate some of the family records. Aunt Alice's house burnt recently where all of you family history was kept. If you would like more or want to share info please email me.

So far 5 Ainsworth men have volunteered to take part in the Ainsworth Surname DNA Project. Four of these gentlemen are from the U.S. and one is in England. All five test kits have been returned to the Family Tree DNA Company and all are now in the process of being tested. We should begin seeing results in 8 to 10 weeks. As results begin to come in, I will post the findings. I wish to sincerely thank all those who have volunteered so far. This is a great beginning but we will need to find more Ainsworth men to volunteer to be tested if we want to make the results useful to all of us. If you are a man who bears the Ainsworth surname, please consider joining the test group. Thank you, Barbara Ainsworth Montgomery
