Joe, do you have any information on William and Catherine? Links to family where they came from when they arrived in the US? I am looking for a William who is the brother of my Thomas...the name Margaret is a common one for my Elliott females. Thanks for any info. The William I am looking for would have been born in Ireland about mid 1700's so your William would have possibly been a son? Just always looking..thanks, Vera "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

James, Does this Elizabeth have any relations by the name of Robert and his wife was Catherine Gorden? Robert and Catherine had two sons, James and John and immigrated to America in 1872. Darell

My Elizabeth Elliott was born somewhere in County Londonderry,N.I. on 10 June 1720.She married David Archibald on 19 May 1741 either somewhere in County Londonderry or possibly Londonderry,New Hampshire. She died in Bible Hill/Derry Village/Truro, Nova Scotia on 13 or 19 October 1791. Does anyone have exact locations as well as her ancestry with dates and locations in both Northern Ireland and Scotland?

I have used two: the National Geographic/IBM Project which is how I began my DNA tests and joined The Elliott Project thru the FamilyTree DNA and http://www.relativegenetics.com/genomics/dna/welcome.html. and the associated website http://www.smgf.org They both gave me the same results. I had wanted to verify the first, since it was pointing me in a different direction. I would also suggest reading two books: "Trace Your Roots with DNA" by Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak and Ann Turner, and "Deep Ancestry" by Spenser Wells. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marjorie Clayton Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elliott] DNA testing What is the answer to the question about DNA testing?

I realize the Mitochondial DNA is not generally used as much to trace surnames, but it is still most useful to trace the maternal side and the world path that side of the family took during its migrations.

Thanks to some great work by Gail Dreher, she was able to realize that even though we from different lines within New England, our tree were actually connected. An Elliott daughter on my line had a daughter who in turn married an Elliott of her line. Unfortunately, we lost Gail to a traffic accident a few years ago, but her mother gave me access to her great work. I have been trying to find more connections to these two lines. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Maria Kenner Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 7:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elliott] Gaps in Elliott Migration Paths I agree.
