Hello everyone, As you know last year about this time we started the DNA project. It seem to have died down now but I think if we could find someone from the other lines that have not been tested it would be of benefit to all of us. A couple of the lines did not turn out like we expected them to. It would not hurt if someone else from anothe part of these lines would also take the DNA test just to make sure that nothing went wrong. I think we have acomplished a lot's in the last year. we have at least 9 Different Group's of Couch's First we have the old Fairfield CT. group and it is a large group of Couches. So far we only have two from them to take the DNA test and one of them is not a Couch. Then we have Group 2 that could connect to them sooner or later but I think it will be back in England. This group is growing. and I think some of the other lines will connect to it. If we find someone to take the DNA test. On the Group 5 we have lots of Matches. and from about 13 different lines we have not found links for yet. I feel if we can find the records all of us will link back up by 1700 and Probably most to the Old Thomas and Elizabeth who was in Virginia by 1700. The Charts that I have posted are there mosley for other Researchers to find you and work with you on your lines. If we all work together we can at least account for most of the ones that have been listed on the Census records from 1850 to present. By having those accounted for we will have a number of lines that do not connect together. Then by the process of elimation we can work out most of those and the DNA test will help. Thanks Bill Couch
