Cool! *Dear Family Tree DNA Group Administrator:* *“This is the most exciting genetic genealogy breakthrough since the company launched its Y-DNA test, which uncovered relatives in the direct paternal line”*, says Bennett Greenspan, founder and President of Family Tree DNA. Family Tree DNA is pleased to inform you of the pre-launch of our newest test: the autosomal-based Family Finder test. This pre-launch will progress in phases so that we do not exceed our lab’s capacity, and to ensure delivering results in a timely basis. A limited number of our customers are being offered the Family Finder Test during the prelaunch. We anticipate Family Finder will be offered for general release in the middle of March at the breakthrough price of *$249*. While the Y-DNA matches men with a specific paternal line, and the mtDNA finds potential relatives only along the maternal line, Family Finder can look for close relationships along all ancestral lines. You may now match to male and female cousins from any of your family lines within five generations. The science behind it uses linked blocks of DNA across the 22 autosomal chromosomes and matches them between two people. Based on this concept, our bioinformatics team has worked extensively to develop the calculations that would tell you the closeness of the relationship. *The possibilities to find matches abound:* [image: Bullet] Aunts & Uncles, Parents and Grandparents [image: Bullet] Half siblings and 1st cousins [image: Bullet] 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cousins [image: Bullet] Possibly 5th cousins and beyond! *When you take the Family Finder test, your results are compared against our Family Finder database. You will be able to:* [image: Bullet] sort your matches by degree of relationship [image: Bullet] view their names and e-mail address for immediate communication [image: Bullet] download your raw data Read more about Family Finder testing and Projects.<http://www.familytreedna.com/landing/family-finder.aspx> *Special Note: **The Family Finder test requires an untouched vial of DNA. If your kit does not have an extra vial on file, we will mail a collection kit for a new FREE DNA extraction. After ordering you will be notified by email whether we are able to use a stored vial or will be mailing a new collection kit.* © All Contents Copyright 2001-2010 Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

Some of y'all may be interested in this. I'm having enough trouble just getting my direct line. John W. Coats

I'm interested in the Henry Coates because of his wife Sarah Young. She could be related to my Mom's side of the family. My records are in storage at the moment, but here is what I had on Henry: Henry and his wife lived in Richmond, VA but then moved to Wilkes Co., GA. He or his son Henry were granted 200 acres in a 1774 land grant in St. Paul Co. in 1774 and 200 more acres in Wilkes Co., GA on 1/28/1778. This last grant was on the same day as a Nathaniel and a James Coates (other brothers or sons?). (C-1790, E) What is the circumstantial evidence you have on Henry's possible daughters? Larry Coates had written me about this family back in 1999 at larcoa@aspermont.esc14.net. Maybe he knows of male descendants for Henry.

The first and last record for Henry Coates of NE GA dates to 1772. I am interested in knowing the background of this Henry Coats/Coates who may be the same as Henry Coates who married Sarah Young of VA. There is circumstantial evidence that Henry Coates and Sarah Young had the following children who resided in Wilkes County, GA until ca. 1815: Nathaniel Lesley or Leslie Henrietta who married John Bankston Jane Smiley Coates who married Howell Jarrett William James John I know of no living male descendants to become YDNA donors for testing but if there are any I am happy to pay the fees. -- The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Forde 13506 Northshore Drive Montgomery, Texas 77356 713.503.0836 phone cynthiaforde@gmail.com spiritsouth@gmail.com

Well, I went ahead and signed up with Ancestry.com, and am going to have my Y-DNA tested, in order to compare with our current DNA. More than a little confusing, since the name is close, but they use Sorenson. I don't see how it could be any different, unless they use different sites. I'd like to get some feedback from any others who may have done this. I still can't figure out the ancestor of James Robert Coats since one source says he married Elizabeth Webster before 1805, but could this have been James Coats of Edgefield, who married Elizabeth Scott, and was definately the son of John Gentleman Coats. If anyone can help me with this conundrum let me know on my personal e-mail or call me at 618-281-5088 or cell 618-407-2000. Hope everyone made it through the Holidays in good health and happy. It seems as thought all the people I grew up with are dropping all around me like flys, from one illness or another; and I'm only 69. I hope to finish this thing before I go. John W. Coats

Dear List; Earlier today, I sent a message suggesting that there had been an interruption in a male DNA line in my family, BUT NOT THE COATS LINE. It was one of my grandmother's lines, and it proved to be a false alarm. The confusion happened because my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather died within two years of each other, 1850-1852. So, the DNA line went uninterrupted. Now, if I could just get them to test and let me know the results. Dang. John W.

Just a note to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Something us Coatses can be thankful for is that most of our male DNA has emerged intact over seven or more generations. Thanks to some careful research on another one of my lines, I'm finding certain discrepancies in birth dates, probate dates, etc. which make it clear there may have been a disconnect in the male DNA a few generations back. However, this was on the female side of my line, so the disconnect wouldn't have shown up. After 20 years of research, I can say this is a pretty big shock to me. No wonder, when I attended a reunion with this line, they were in unanimous agreement that they would not be doing DNA testing, or at least not displaying it on a web page. However, this proves the value of doing the testing, since the test will prove or disprove the accuracy of our paper trail. In ending, I'm just hoping all you Coatses out there will do your male testing, and decide for yourself if you want to share it. God Bless you all. John W.

A nice Christmas for me would be to be able to find a Coats relative of mine that would be willing to be tested.

I wanted to wish a lovely, peaceful holiday to you and yours. I also wanted to update you on our Coates DNA project. We've had some new members join and others increase their DNA points tested. Family Tree DNA is really coming through with the tests quickly now so it's a great time to join or improve ones test sample. Thanks to all of you who have participated this year! It's great. I'll try to recap some of our biggest finds this year in an email soon. Linda Coate

This is the time to do your DNA test, or upgrade. I could be a nice Christmas present for your family. John W. Coats

I've just updated our Coates DNA webpage again. We now have a grouping of 3 cousins in the William Coates of Halifax Co., VA line. He's another one of our group who had to wait a couple years to find cousin matches, but that's finally working out. It's a good idea if everyone who has joined the group look on this page at http://www.ancestrees.com/dna/family.html. That is so you can make sure that what you wanted linked to your kit number is still linked. If there are any improvements you want made to your info, please just let me know. Anyone who is not yet linked but would like to, that would be great too. You don't have to make the webpage, just provide the information you want shared. :) Linda Coate, admin.

Linda sorry to be so late on this response but to be frank I can't tell you much about John Coats Sr. Just that there was a John Coats Sr living next to John Coats Jr. in Newberry Twp., Miami Co., OH in either the 1840 or 1830 Federal Census. I am quite certain if not positive the the Jr is my John and Martha Coats line. Also then there is the earlier research speculation that my John Coats was a Jr., son of John and Susan Brock Coats...

John Coats wrote: Steve; John Henry told me you were having trouble. Linda sent me the story of John Coats Sr., saying he was the son of John Gent. She has the court records from the divorce proceedings. Looks like his son was Samuel. I think the DNA tests have cleared up a lot of misconception about the Coats line. I believe John Gent and Marmaduke were cousins, and probably were the Quakers. I believe our line is a totally different line, and may have been in NC instead of SC. Who know where they came from before that. If you could get someone to test, at least you could separate or connect with one of these.
