    1. [BARNETT] Barnett DNA Surname Project Progress
    2. Mic Barnette
    3. Hi Everyone: Results for 4 participants have been received and posted on the Project website at http://micbarnette.bravepages.com Just click on the DNA Project link. The results for two more participants is pending. To see the results click on the results page. To see the lineages of the participants click on the pages for each participant. The most recent results received were for Participant number 5. Initially this participant went back to James Newton Barnett of Walker County, AL. Recent census work potentially extends that lineage back several generations to Uriah Barnett and wife Kessiah both of whom were born in South Carolina in the mid to late 1780's. There is a David (or Daniel) Barnett who is of the age (born about 1750-1760) to have been Uriah's father near him in Benton (now Calhoun) County, AL in the 1840 census. Anyone with any knowledge of this family is urged to contact me at mic@barnettesbooks.com . Participant number 5 has no relationship what so ever to the other three participants whose results were previously received. The first three have South Carolina and Virginia roots. While their ancestry has not been traced to a common ancestor they all three relate. If you have Barnett ancestry please try to support the project. If you are a male with the surname Barnett you can participate in the testing. If you are a woman or descend from a Barnett but do not carry the surname you can participate by finding someone in your own family that still carries the Barnett surname and ask them to participate in the testing. You can also financially sponsor someone in your family so the person participating does not pay out the money or as much money when you will benefit from that person taking the test. Also on the Barnette DNA Project website is the 1790 Census for all extant states. Potentially the people listed in these censuses would make great links for DNA testing. On the website we also have a Barnett Links Page. If you have a website with data about any Barnett family please let us know about your site and we will link to it. We would also appreciate anyone wishing to do so making a link from your website to ours. If you have any questions about testing, the website or anything else please feel free to contact me, MIC
