Suze John Berry married Frances Baird/Beard in Va, or possibly NC (I don't know if they "moved" because NC became a state), they had possible children named Robert/Richard, William and for sure John Berry, who married Catherine Fisher. both were born in Meeklenburg County, NC (which leads me to believe they "moved" to NC when it became a state...rather than physically moved to NC from Va). > > John and Catherine's children were: > > Henry Berry, born 1817 in NC, m Sarah unknown; > John Hamilton Berry, born Feb 28m 1793 in NC, m Charity Radar; > John Mathias Berry, b 3/3/1796 in NC, m Nancy Downing; > Ann Margaret Berry, b 3/15/2799 in NC; > Catherine Berry, b 9.4.1801 in NC, m Henry Cloninger; > Mary Berry, b 1803 in NC, m Henry Cloninger; > Solomon Berry, b 1805 in NC, m Elizabeth Myers; > Adam Berry, b 1807 in NC, m Mary M.

Unfortunately, the search I tried to send didn't appear in the email that shows up in my mailbox...all the search boxes are cleared and the web page isn't there. however, I do know how I got there, for anyone interested in Fisher research. I went to http://www.familysearch.org (morman chruch site) and entered what I knew about my own Fisher line..which isn't a lot. I entered US search in all states (just in case) with a date of plus or minus 20 years. All I know about her otherwise is that she married John Berry. Under that search, a lot of Fisher info came up, including Ohio and other states. Not my own, but maybe something will come up that will help someone else now that you have the site and can use it. Suze

Dear John, I notice your website explains everything you just posted. What I don't find is the list of Fishers you have collected for your study. Will you be letting us in on the names you are collecting along with the dates and places you have connected to them? Sheryl

How do I access that info? By the way, I found info on a Catherine Fisher from Ohio. Wasn't someone looking for an Ohio Fisher line? Tried to forward the info to the list, but it wasn't accepted. Apparently, was in HTML format, which I didn't realize.

As a recent subscriber to this list I missed the debate concerning the Fisher DNA programme last August. Allow me to clarify some of the points made: Firstly the DNA survey is just one (albeit very important) aspect of the Fisher Surname Study. By itself DNA testing cannot achieve objective of the Study, which is to identify every Fisher family that originated in medieval Britain (i.e. England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales). Therefore we are collecting every historical and genealogical record that refers to a Fisher from circa 1200 to 1901. Selective datasets throughout this period have been used to map the geographical distrubution of the surname through the ages. This enables us to pinpoint the most likely geographical origins of the oldest Fisher families. This in turn gives an indication of the likely numbers of separate Fisher families. Currently I estimate there are at least 250 such families from which approximately 250,000 Fishers living today descend. So far only 8 Fishers have been tested - it's a small start. The DNA survey will only be successful when large numbers of Fishers have been tested. I recognise that $99 is a significant investment for apparently very little immediate benefit. Understandably what most people want to learn is which Fisher family they belong to. However, most Fishers tracing their ancestry through documentary sources will get no further than say AD1750-1800. But the majority (of Fishers) will have an ancestor (called Fisher) who lived around AD1300-1400. By combining DNA, traditional genealogical research and geographical distribution analysis the Fisher Surname Study aims to fill that gap. This is not a magical solution it will take several years of hard work but this multi-disciplinary approach is the evitable future of genealogy. Be part of it! Finally, there is no value in establishing multiple Fisher DNA programs, collating all available Fisher DNA is the only sensible way forward. Clearly not every Fisher living today will be British in origin there are other groups - the most siginificant being those with Germanic (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, etc.) ancestry. These groups - with their distinct history, genealogy and genetics -warrant setting up a separate study in theri own right.
