https://Groups.io/g/dorris Welcome to Groups.io, our new home for genealogical discussions. This is an exciting time with a very impressive website and the opportunity to rekindle our communications and, perhaps, revive research that has been set aside for a time. Diane and I want to encourage you to make us of this group with your brick walls, successes, questions and whatever answers you may have for others' queries. To begin with, introductions are encouraged, including some history about yourself etc. If we can feel like a "family" we might get more out of being here. We definitely do not want to make this such a strict environment that you are discouraged from entering or starting discussions. If you on the Rootsweb list have not yet joined at groups.io, simply click on the link at top of this message and click "Join This Group." We want you to enjoy being a part of this group and to be glad you joined in the first place. If you have other group connections where you may spread the word about us that will be great as well. Looking forward to hearing from you all, Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden

This has been received from the Rootsweb administration: Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account. Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community. Sincerely, The RootsWeb team We are presently setting up email groups at https://groups.io/. If there is interest in migrating this list to groups.io please respond to this message to that effect ASAP. With heavy hearts, Jim and Di

We just wanted to encourage you all to make use of this list in your family searches. A large number of Rootsweb lists have been made inactive due to no messages over a period of time. We want to keep as many lists active as we possibly can and your participation will help toward that goal. If you have a "brick wall" in your family search, send in a message with as much information as you have and let's see if someone may be able to help fill in those blanks. Best wishes, Jim and Di

Author: skorky1 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.dorris/514.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am also a direct descendant of William Dorris. When I had my DNA done it doesn't show Scottish ancestry as such. It is included with British ancestry. But if you look at the extremes of Irish, British and Scandinavian DNA they all encompass Scotland. As far as I know I am mainly Scots, Irish, and Scots-Irish, but my DNA says 48% British, 18% Irish and 23% Scandinavian. Since I haven't discovered any Scandinavians, I am going with Viking raids of Ireland and Scotland. I will admit that 23% is awfully high so I must have some from lines that I have been unable to trace. I did show 4% Italy/Greece, however, so maybe there is something to the Greek myth.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: DorianDorris Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.dorris/514/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I've hit a brick wall after tracing my Dorris family tree back to Northern Ireland. My direct ancestor is Wiliam B. Dorris who came to America from Northern Ireland (Newry) about 1750. He was a Presbyterian--unlike most Dorrises in Ireland today who appear to be Catholic. But I've done some reading on the history of Ulster and King James' Ulster Plantation, wherein he re-located about 100,000 Scottish Presbyterians to Northern Ireland--finally resulting in a majority. I'm trying to find out if the Dorris clan may have been part of this Scottish migration in the 1600s--possibly from Durris, Scotland near Inverness. The Dorris.Net family newsletter seems to go along with Dorris being pure Irish (Gaeli: Dubh Ruis) --but after having my DNA tested by ancestry.com--turns out there's much more Scottish DNA than Irish, and vert few Scottish sounding names. Hope someone has figured this out. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
