I had 4 brothers, 1-Joseph Gilbert Bryant d at 2 days old in 1929 The next 2 brothers are still living 1 older 1 younger then me. John Allen b 1944 d 1962 All of us born in California. All the uncles & Dad born IN. William H b IN or NY found him on the Orphan train, I don't know if Thomas Bryant took him off the train when he was 2 or 9. Wm has 2 birth dates, 1868 & 1871 I guess I could get one of my brothers DNA and post it and see if there are any matches? Is that how it works? Or is it just for Bryants?

My father was born a Bryant..his mother was a Morris..she died when daddy was 32 days old. in the 1920 census I did not find him with his Bryant family, but his father Joshua Bryant and Bryant grandparents Josh A & Elizabeth Hayes Bryant and his sister Ethel Elizabeth were all together in one home along with several bachelor brothers. Then after much looking I located him as James Bryant Morris, his grandfather James Edward Morris and Queenie Morris had the baby in their home. He never lived with his father and I was truly crushed when I realized he never lived with his father or his mother, she died 1919..his father died in 1927. By the time he went into the service he was using Bryant..but many years later when we had to get a birth certificate for daddy his name was Charlie Bryant...so he had to get an amended certificate James Morris Bryant. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Prieskorn" <dalell@earthlink.net> To: <bryant@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 8:13 PM Subject: Re: [BRYANT] More on DNA Testing > John, and all the rest of the Bryant family, you do not know > just how lucky you all are that you have a family to trace. > I will be 70 in a few days and have lived with the name > of Bryant until I married but through all my research > I have always signed maiden name Bryant for that is what > I was born with.

Hi Dennis Is this interesting. You and two O'Brien's and two Bryan that have good documentation that they are related to the Boone are all with a few space of each other on the O'Brien project we are all Irish Type III. I have a suggestion. I am going to post to Y-search after I get some SNP test back from EA, but that will be in few weeks. Will you post your data to Y-Search and ask Dennis Wright post you information to The Irish Type III website. He likes to have data on Y-search before he post. I have been working on a report for sometime with reason to go Y67 test. In a nut shell the time to most recent common ancestor can be calculated closer with a Y67 test that would give us the time maybe the place where other surname change happened. Thank you for posting your number on this site. If other would go to Y67 it would help for reason that I have post on this list. John Bryant R1b1c -snp tested a familytree DNA Irish Type III #57501 at O'Brien project ======================================================== Dennis worte John, I am the only O'Bryant listed, #69313, and we have found a Robert O'Bryant in Louisiana that may possibly be related. Hope to get some of his family history information next week as it appears we may have common ancestors in NC & VA before 1800..Most of my relatives spelled the family name as O'Briant in NC, MS and TX but my grandfather switched the spelling to the "y" in his later years and my Dad had to use it to settle his estate...Don't think Robert has had the DNA testing yet but will do my best to talk him into it and to learn if there is a connection between our lines...

Hi Marilyn, If you would talk to Marsha Buck, You would find that I think it is important that each person follow their own truth and methods. That way we get to see the whole, elephant not just the tail. My way may be just the tail. I have started a tread there just add what important to you. Many people post their DNA sample to Y-search and use their Y-search DNA I. D. You can see how I do it below. Just paste this in your Browser http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.bryant/mb.ashx The best, John Bryant my part family was in La Porte County, Indiana 1833 to 2000 R1b1 SNP tested Irish Type III # 57501 at O'Brien Project +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Marilyn worte What do you want posted? The Dna markers, the access number and how would you suggest it be posted, on this message exchange?

This is a friendly post. Do you have this William Descendant DNA sample some where so I can check to see if my records are worth your time. Has some one made a list of Bryant's DNA that have lived in this county or state??? That would tell if they were related!!!! Y-DNA stays the almost the same for 10 generations.

Greetings, Is anyone one the Bryant rootsweb related to James Alexander Bryant born June 17, 1879 and married Mintie Lee Downs, had son, John Lawson (Dick) Bryant? James Alexander Bryant was born in Todd County Kentucky and later lived in Trigg County Kentucky. Thank you for any replys, Lois

I agree with Marynell. If you are going to spend the time and money necessary to really research your Bryant family tree it is "penny wise and pound foolish" not to get your DNA tested through at least the 37 marker. We need a lot more of the Bryants to step up and get tested. Joel T.

Could everyone go to the message broad also and post.

Dennis, Could you share with me your ysearch number off board. One of the researcher in Josiah Briant group believes that Josiah Briant sr. was Quaker so this may be some value down the line. Two O'Brien's match me 34/37 on the Y37 test. I will run this information pass them. Thank you for your support john B. #57501 at the O'Brien project ----From: "Dennis O'Bryant" <dblb3728@cox.net>0600 worte ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= John, I have some information that I wish to share with you about some family history.... I have a 2 volume set of books, " Allardice Of That Ilk". Title page is, " Monuments and Monumental Inscriptions in Scotland" by the Rev. Charles Rogers, LL.D., F.S.A. Scot., They were published in London for the Grampian Club., Charles Griffin and Co. Stationers' Hall Court. 1872. Preface to Volume II: In completing the second volume of this work, the author closes a task which has upwards of eleven years occupied his attention. Reviewing his performance, he could have wished that his labours had been more fruitful, and that the work had presented monumnetal records of every Scotish parish. As it is, the omissions are not very numerous; while a necrological register has been produced ampler than any existing heretofore. When the author entered upon his undertaking, he sought to awaken public attention to the degraded condition of churchyards. As local reporters were generally reluctant to comprose parochial honour, he was led to abandon this part of his enterprise, not however before collecting some strange facts. Of these, a few may be related. At New Machar, Aberdeenshire, the peasantry obtain their winter fuel by storing up portions of decayed coffins from the churchyard. During the summer of 1862 the parish schoolmaster of Ellon was obliged to cease teaching, owing to his schoolroom which adjoined the churchyard, being saturated with the exhalations or morality. In the churchyard of Gamrie, overlooking the Moray Frith, bones fragments of coffins, and portions of gravestones are strewn about. The parochial sextons of Lewis and North Uist perform intermnets within six inches of the sruface, the coffins after a heavy shower being frequently exposed. The churchyard at Sandwich, in Orkney, is part of the undrained marsh, and at interments coffins are plunged into the water which fills every new made grave. These facts require no comment. Additional to those to whom he formerly expressed his obligations, the author cannot deny himself the satisfation of mentioning the considerable assistance he has received from papers on the graveyards of the north eastern counties prepared by Mr. Jervise. The author learns with pleasure that Mr. Jervise contemplates a separate publication. His work should have a place in the library of every Scottish archaeologist. Snowdoun Villa, Lewisham, Kent. October, 1872. Next 5 pages are a listing of the Parishes and their churhes. My information comes from page 282, which is from Kincardineshire, Fetteresso, pages 278-284. Tablets and monuments containing the following inscriptions are also to be found in the Barclay aisle: The grave of Robert Barclay, of Ury, and Elizabeth O'Brian, daughter of James O'Brian,, Esq., of London, and son of Colonel O'Brian, of the Kingdom of Ireland. He was grandson to Robert Barclay, of Ury, Author of the "Apology for the Quakers;" was born 20th July 1699, and died 10 October, 1760. This is the only time the O'Brian/O'Brien name is listed.....in either book. Sincerely, Dennis O'Bryant, (75) Thank you so much for the work you are doing with the DNA project. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BRYANT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
