My daughter in law is an Odom; she was from Mississippi Now married to my son Lyon/ Ellie -----Original Message----- From: brown-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:brown-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Carolyn Brown Sent: Saturday, December 19, 2009 5:02 PM To: brown@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BROWN] All DNA testees Have you tried contacting any of the Maxwell's or Ramseys? A 25/25 match could maybe be as far back as the beginning of surnames, but a 37 should be a lot closer.  Allen has very few matches, but on Ancestry.com he matches a group of Odoms 34/34 (they didn't test all the same markers). So far I haven't been able to get any info from them, but it's very interesting as the ancestor of one of his 67/67 Brown matches bought land in 1761 from an Odom and lived near Odoms. If nothing else the families may have migrated from the same original area.   Carolyn Brown --- On Sat, 12/19/09, FBrown726@aol.com <FBrown726@aol.com> wrote: From: FBrown726@aol.com <FBrown726@aol.com> Subject: Re: [BROWN] All DNA testees To: brown@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, December 19, 2009, 11:07 AM FamilyTreeDNA is the place where my study was done in the Brown DNA  project. I did a 37 marker test and had several 25/25 and 37/37 matches. The  higher the markers tested the more Ramsey and Maxwell people there are. I cannot locate my information to access the site right now so cannot be more specific.  Perhaps my 2nd. great grandfather was a traveling man, who knows? His name was  William Brown which is of little help pinning him down. Might as well  be John Jones. Frank Brown Kansas City My husband, Allen, tested with FamilyTreeDNA.com and has 4 matches there  (one 25/25, and 3 67/67) I have also uploaded his results to the Ancestry.com DNA database, no matches there and no input from other Browns there. Now that  more labs are starting to do the testing we need a place to be able to compare  the results. FamilyTreeDNA has over 300 Browns in their Brown  project. I haven't been able to find out how many Ancestry.com has and have no  idea about the other labs. Results are no good if you can't compare them.  FamilyTreeDNA.com also has a site called www.YSearch.org where anyone from any  lab can upload their results and search by matching results or by name. You  don't have to have tested at their lab and it is free. I would like to see if we  can either get everyone on the list who has tested to upload their results to  either that site or Ancestry.com (though I think you have to be a subscriber  there, I am) or let us know if there is another site that can be viewed for  comparison with their DNA. For those who have tested it is then  obvious if a line is yours or not. What do you all think?

REPLY to Ellie and Frank To: brown@rootsweb.com Date: Friday,  December 18, 2009, 7:22 PM Sorry to hear you are in the same boat  too. Well that thought has crossed my mind too. Another thought  is that our surname was not Brown. My ggrandfather oldest son of John Ebenzer  Brown told my grandfather that our surname was really Flanagan and we are  from Dublin Ireland. So I have also ticked the name Flanagan as well as  Brown plus asked for to have any name that matches with the DNA of my  brother.
