Last summer we offered a pricing special that was the most successful offering of its kind in our company’s history. Many project administrators strongly supported our recruitment efforts and both their projects and our database grew significantly. This year we will offer an early summer special with an unparalleled promotional discount. Offer summary: • Y-DNA37+mtDNA for $119. (The regular project price is $248 – a reduction of more than 50%!!) • The promotion will begin on June 9, 2009 and will end on June 24, 2009 • Kits ordered in this sale must be paid for by June 30, 2009 This is your new members’ opportunity to skip past the Y-DNA12 and Y-DNA25 tests and get the best Y-DNA Genealogical test on the market in addition to an mtDNA test for an extremely reduced price! I should also mention that according to one of our competitors’ method of counting markers our 37-marker test could also be called a “41-marker test” as we do test and report markers 464e, 464f, 464g, and DYS19b. Though we test them, it is very rare that individuals have results for these markers. Therefore, by our conservative counting method, our competitor's “33-marker test” is actually a “29-marker test.” We mention this to make sure that you understand the difference between these tests and are able to compare “apples to apples.” So... I hope that with this promotion your project can gain many new members. As always, that you for your continued support.

To the Coats researcher: This is not my line but I had entered Moses Butler Coats in my data base with this Query from 1999. I will sent it along just in case it may help you. I really have nothing further to help you out. JRC 1/14/99 9:35 PM FROM: _coats@hotmail.com_ (mailto:coats@hotmail.com) (Char Coats-Siercks) To: _COATES-L@rootsweb.com_ (mailto:COATES-L@rootsweb.com) "The South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research", Vol VIII,Fall 1980 No. 4 Query: COATS-COATES. Mrs. Terry Coats (3566 Cordone Ct., Fort Worth, TX 76133) seeks info of parents of Moses Butler COATS. He was born 19 Dec 1823 in Newberry or Edgefield, SC. His parents said to be James & Jane COATS. I have proven two of his brothers, William G, & James COATS. Was the Marmaduke COATS who left Edgefield for Alabama the father of James? [JRC-NOTE: It was not the Marmaduke who was son of Little John COATES.] **************We found the real ‘Hotel California’ and the ‘Seinfeld’ diner. What will you find? Explore WhereItsAt.com.

Can anyone help this researcher with her info? Hello my name is Annette Coats Clark I have been researching my father's side of the family and I found your website and I have noticed that none of my relatives are on your list. My ggg grandfather was Moses Butler Coats, born around 1823 in Newberry South Carolina and migrated to Texas. He had 2 wifes, the 1st was Julia Brown and the 2nd was Frances Johnson (Fanny). Any information you have on them would be appreciated. rwclerk@telus.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------

We've had 2 more test kit improvements ordered and received back in 3 new results. Two of the continued to confirm an exact match to members of their group. One is a new Coates group. Did you ever suspect that our surname would have so many different origins? I'll be working on getting these up next week when I'm off for summer break. Eventually I hope that everyone has cousin matches to work with. Linda Coate, admin.

If your Coats or Coates ancestor lived in Virginia in the late 1700’s, you might find his signature on one of the religious petitions on-line at the Library of Congress website. To find these: - go to the Library of Congress website www.loc.gov - click on the tab for “American Memory” at the top of the page - click on “Religion” in the box on the left hand side - click on “Religious Petitions, Virginia 1764- 1802” These are not indexed by surname, but you can narrow your search by typing the name of the county in Virginia where your ancestor lived to get a list of the petitions for that county. Then click on each one to bring up an image of the petition to scan through to look for your ancestor’s name. For example, I am interested in the Coates and Coats families that lived in Halifax County, Virginia. I followed the above steps to bring up a list of the petitions for Halifax County and found the following petitions: - November 25, 1794 contains the signature of Thos. Coates - November 16, 1795 contains the signatures of Willm. Coats and possibly another one that might be William Coats - December 17, 1799 contains the signatures of Joshua Coates, William Coates jr., John Coats, Richd. Coates, Richard Cotes, and William Cotes - December 21, 1802 contains the signature of Wm. Coates Caution – many of these are original signatures but you need to evaluate that. Sometimes what you will see are several names in a row that look like the same handwriting. In this case, the people signed on a separate sheet of paper when signatures were being collected at a different location. Then the names from that sheet of paper were copied over to this petition. Also, in this time period the term “junior” does not necessarily mean that someone is the son of another person with the same name. “Junior” could mean someone who was younger and had the same name, i.e. a son, or nephew, or cousin, or someone not related at all.

Hi, I've just been learning a bit about the more specific meaning of our YDNA results for members who've participated in the Family Tree DNA Coats project. They have found since we started this project that it is common for there to be at least one mutation between 2 people when you are going back 8 generations to your common ancestor. There can even be a mutation occurring in one generation. Some markers in red at the top of our page even change much more easily. Knowing the number of markers that vary isn't what is needed to know how close our common ancestors are likely to be - but luckily there is an easy way to have Family Tree DNA do that computing for you. Go to http//www.familytreedna.com and login. You should be at your MyFTDNA page. Find the link on the middle of the left hand column called "Matches" and click on it. Next, scroll down the screen to see all persons that have a match to your DNA. On the far right hand column next to their name, there is an orange red pedigree chart symbol on a blue background. When you click on that symbol, it will show you statistically how close you are by common ancestor within various generations to that cousin. So, when you get a one or 2 marker difference to someone else you expected to have the same ancestor as yours, don't despair. On a 37 point test, you can have 4 markers of difference and will still usually be in range to have the common ancestor you expected if they were back 7 or 8 generations from both of you. :) If you have questions on how to do this, you can email me. :) Linda Coate

We've had such interesting news lately on the DNA front. We have another new member whose kit info is back who has his line to Yorkshire, England. He doesn't match anyone else at this time, but someone will sure appreciate a match in the future to that kit number! Big John info, Little John and a possible kit via Stephen Marmaduke Coate are other useful strides. Also, if you are a participant, there is a new feature with Family Tree DNA where you can list your oldest known ancestor, male and female and have them charted along with other members in our group on a satellite map of the world... If you know the street they lived on, the map can even be that detailed. I recommend that you go into your page at Family Tree DNA in your My-Ftdna page and choose "Plot Ancestral Locations" in the left hand column. It's pretty cool. I'll see if we can get that loaded on our page at http://www.ancestrees.com too. Any questions, just write back. Thanks. Linda Coate

We just had improved test results for the kit descended through Wright Coate, Big John's son and it is still an exact match to the other 5 people in the Big John - Marmaduke grouping at 25 points of DNA who believed they weere descended from Big John. He should be getting back more test results in the next week or so when I'll remake the charts and place them up at http://www.ancestrees.com/dna/family.html. This is one of our more difficult puzzles falling into place. Enjoy. Linda Coate

Thanks! The Bankstons had moved out of York and Chester County by 1740; but the Youngs that were there mid-1800's may well have descended from this line you are suggesting. There were several Coates that intermarried into the Rambo line from PA that also connect tot he Bankstons. So this is a good choice for origin. Thank you.

Thanks! Henry Coats/Coates m. Sarah Jacque Young according to some Young researchers. I believe they hailed from either VA or PA but I cannot document their presence anyplace but Wilkes, GA ca. 1784. Probable children are Nathaniel, Lesley, William, James, John, Jane Smiley Coates m. Howell Jarrett, and Henrietta Coates Bankston. (all male Coates and the two female's spouses were named in one lawsuit). Henrietta named her children: Henry, John Jacque, Howell, Lesley... with those names circumstantial eviidence of relationship. They moved to Louisiana abt 1816.

Wiley Coats group towards the bottom of our page at http://www.ancestrees.com/dna/family.html encompasses most of the North Carolina Coates that have been tested. There is a William who died in 1801 at the top of this group. A few NC folks are up in the James/John/William group and in the Gabriel Coates group. There doesn't appear to by anyone yet connected back to the Georgia Coates, though a Nathaniel appears in the first group called Alex/James of TX/TN, b. 1818. I believe that some of the Georgia Coates moved to Tennessee so that would be your best lead currently to contact that group to see if that's where they think they came from.

Legacy has a huge number of fancy printouts with their Deluxe version, so many, I haven't begun to explore them. I'd definitely check it out. They are great over the phone and give free technical help if you ever need it. I don't know how they make money. Linda I think they are at www.legacyfamilytree.com on the net.

Hi John. I am a family tree maker and new Legacy user. Not yet sure about Legacy but I know that FTM allows this. However I am considering switching to Legacy due to the latest of FTM I am not happy with I have also recieved PDF files from relatives that has pictures from Rootsmagic software.

I am curious to know if any YDNA testees connect to Coates in NC ca. 1780-1784 and especially to the Coates/Coats: Nathaniel, Lesley, William, John, and Henry in early Wilkes County GA ca. 1784.
