Jeff asked if there was nothing he could in the way in DNA, what he could contribute. As Michael points out, the tests are NOT free. One thing anyone can do regardless of taking the test is to donate money to the fund that Family Tree DNA puts up for you to contribute to. I would suggest getting the 67 marker test and not just the basic one. That basic test will not give enough matches to make any conclusions and, in other words, a waste of time and money.

We want >to be consistent but we also want to be accurate. >Jean **********END OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT*********** Hello Jean, Boy, do I agree with you! I've been working on several families that came out of southern VA and were there during the formation of several counties from the original Brunswick Co. Researchers' data- bases are all over the place with exactly which county births, marriages, and deaths occurred. Here's the history of Brunswick and later counties: Brunswick-formed from Prince George-1732 Lunenburg-formed from Brunswick-1746 Halifax -formed from Lunenburg-1752 Bedford-formed from Lunenburg-1754 Pittsylvania-formed from Halifax-1767 Henry-formed from Pittsylvania-1777 Patrick-formed from Henry-1791 Now, the reason I mention this is that just about all the people in these families were born in what is now Pittsylvania, BUT were born BEFORE 1767. Most researchers have them entered into their databases with a Pittsylvania birthplace, when some were born in the then Halifax Co., some were born in the then Lunen- burg Co., and some were born in the then Brunswick Co. I've always advocated that one should always enter a person's birth, marriage, death, etc. as the county that the area was in AT THAT TIME. This really helps researchers who might travel to that area to do look in records at a courthouse. If a person were born in 1735, for example, in an area that is now in Pittsylvania, a researcher might travel to the courthouse in Chatham, the county seat, and find no birth records for the person there and just give up, thinking there were no records. But, the records just might be in Lawrenceville, the county seat of Brunswick Co. So, in my database a birth place for John DOE, born in 1735, would look like this: , Brunswick Co., VA (Brunswick Co.-1732; Lunenburg Co.-1476; Halifax Co.-1752; Pittsylvania Co.-1767) As to finding out in which county a town is located, as I have already mentioned, my genealogy program has a "Place Finder", where I can type in the name of the town and state and the program pops up showing the county. Likewise, I can type in the name of the county and state and see a list of all the towns located there. The program works quite well 99.99% of the time. The only time I have problems is when a person has an event place that is "historical" and no longer used. Then I usually have to do a Google search for the town and find out in which county it was located for the time in question, and try to find out what town is located there now. For those whose genealogy database program has no "Place Finder", good old Wikipedia is a quick and easy way to find out where a town is located. Just type in the town and state and read the info, which will give the county's name. And, sometimes, Wikipedia will also allow you to enter the name of a "historical" town and give information on where it was located and the area's history. Regards, Sarge

George is working on a Germanna database and has it online at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=germanna. I hope to compare notes with him in July for a database that will be on the Germanna Foundation website that is in the works as Michael mentioned. I'm the Germanna Association Board member that is now working on it. There is no way that one person can become an expert on all the Germanna families and I certainly do not claim to be! At this point I am using published sources as a start. There are errors in those previous publications and I'll be counting on my good cousins to point them out to me and provide the proof. The eventual goal is to have a database with mostly primary documentation including images of court records, headstones, Bible records, census records, photographs, maps, biographies, etc. Access to this database will be available only to Germanna Foundation members. The reasoning behind this is not to be exclusive but because it is part of the Foundation's effort to offer more value to Foundation membership and it may be decided in future to include information about living individuals. I would like to see a sister database without all the images that is available to anyone but haven't figured out the details yet. This is a project that will be years in the making ...

In response to Jeff Duvall's comment. Please read my original email more carefully. Each DNA test costs the person being tested. There is no free DNA test for Germanna Descendants. I said that if you have a Germanna great great grandparent not in your matrilineal line or patrilineal line you would be able to learn their deep ancestry when people who are direct matrilineal or patrilineal descendants are tested.

The test is not free to all Germanna descendants, just useful to all. There will be a new web page up on www.germanna.org soon that will provide a lot more information and make it easy to order the test kit and be a part of the Germanna DNA Project. The fee is $99 for the basic kit and if you want more markers tested then it is a little more. Well worth it. The web page with lots of information will be up soon.

Hi all: I've recently posted a few items to the Germanna Message Board on these three families that I don't think has been shared before. While most of the people in this story have no living descendants, I thought their story should be told, and perhaps some House and Aylor cousins will enjoy it. Remember, it is free to read the posts. If you are a Germanna member, you can post replies or new topics. The site is still very new, so if you want a password, you'll have to first become a member an then get a user name and password from Michael Oddenino. Go to: germanna.org and click on the message board.

I liked the idea that many Germanna people might get their DNA tested so I have ordered the 37 marker test as a part of the Germanna project. I am sending this so that other Blankenbaker (no matter how spelled) descendants might be encouraged to get their DNA tested also.  John Blankenbaker john.blankenbaker@comcast.net

I won't be able to come to the reuninon but please remember that the THOMAS familiy is E1b1b1c haplogroup. Y'all have a ball. Wish I could join you. Take care.

So even if you do not have a Germanna Y-Chromosome or a Germanna mtDNA Chromosome, you may be able to fill all of the great great grandparents in between your matrilineal and patrilineal lines.

I find the idea of DNA testing quite fascinating, but I'm not sure if there would be any point to someone in my situation taking part in this type of study. My descent from several of the Germanna Colonists is all well-documented, but it's through my mother's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Leola Kemper Fuller (1877-1963) of Carroll Co., KY, so there's no Y-DNA to contribute to the study. Likewise, even though my great-grandmother's parents were second cousins (once-removed), and shared a common descent from Tillman and Dinah Hitt Kemper, the Mt-DNA goes back to woman with no known link to the Germanna Colony. So, while I appreciate the fact that the study is taking place, I don't really see how I could participate in any meaningful way. I'd be curious to find out if others on the list agree with my assessment of the situation, or am I missing something here. Thanks.
