Can anyone help her with this?

Census records from 1860, 1880, and 1900 reflect that he and his parents were born in Pennsylvania. Family oral history says relatives lived in south Philadelphia. In 1860, William Coates Russell lived in Philadelphia's 13th Ward. He was an accountant, and by 1900 had moved across the river to Camden, NJ. I cannot determine who his parents were, but I'm convinced that his name of "William Coates" is sigificant. My only other clue is that he named one of his sons "Franklin," which may or may not be significant. (His oldest son was William Coates Russell Jr.) I have a photo of William Coates Russell, and he was a very handsome, dark-haired man. In the research done on the Philadelphia-area Coats/Coates families, do you know if there was there any record of a daughter who married a Russell? (Probably around 1800-1810, I'm guessing.) I know it's a long shot to even ask this question, but you know how it is when you're researching family genealogy and you hit a brick wall! Thanks so much!

John Coats wrote; Neil, I know. Guessing isn't science. There was one scientist on 60 minutes a couple months ago who tried to clarify all this and explaining that, if you go back just 5 generations, you have 32 ancestors, only one of which is your Y-DNA ancestor. That doesn't mean to me, that if you have the money you shouldn't test. It means those two guys who started GenealogybyDNA are making a lot of money based on 1/32 of non-scientific data. I had my m-DNA tested, and talked to Bennett Greenspan, one of those two guys, and he stated the H designation is shared by the majority of European descendants, and tells you where your ggrandmother comes from. However, the Y gene has really helped. Who would have thought there would have been about 12 different strains of Coatses in the US, none of which are even distantly related?

There is an article in the LA Times picked up by our local paper about the results of the Human Genome Diversity Project, which will be published in the Journal Science which came out today. They are talking about going back 100,000 years. They do these studies by testing local indigenous groups of people and comparing these DNA samples to samples taken today. These kind of studies don't seem to me to be that scientific, in that they are using empiric evidence(observation) to come to a conclusion. However, its seems to be accepted by scientists all over the world, so far at least. How about that Global Warming? We haven't been out of the 20's for 5 days now, and we have an inch of ice on the ground. My brother says it's sun spots, and this will continue for 10 years.

Hi John, Agreed! Y-DNA testing seems sound science to me. I just need to find a maleCoats in my line. I have not had contact with any Coats male cousins in 50 years. I am descended from James Coats, born in SC about 1804, who had son James Henry Coats who had my great-grandfather John William Coats in 1870 in Dallas. I'm sure there are bunches of Coats in the Dallas/Mesquite area; I have just not worked hard enought find them. The progenitor of this line is unknown. Some say M. D. and "Blind Mary" Coats. Neal in Dallas. 73 from Neal McEwen, K5RW, at the "Telegraph Office", nmcewen@sbcglobal.net visit http://www.telegraph-office.com -- A Web Page for Telegraph Key Collectors and Historians

These models are based on the assumption that the local indignous people have been in the same spot forever or a guess about their migrations. I'm not yet ready to have my m-DNA tested to tell me where my ancestors came from 50,000 years ago. The model is a guess, so your results are based on that guess.
