    3. Please add E1b1b1c1a to the data and when the test was taken. I have cc'd Corlee Morris, who coordinates the Germanna DNA Project, to ask if she has other suggestions for what to include.

I am going to add the following note today to the page for Johannes Thomas and then use DNA as a source for parentage on the specific sublines who have been tested. "Y-DNA tested from direct male lines of John Thomas of Guilford Co., NC and Michael Thomas of Fayette Co., KY confirms that these two were the brothers, Hans/John and Michael Thomas of Culpeper Co., VA., sons of Johannes and Anna Maria Blankenbaker Thoma" Do you think any more info is needed or should this cover it. The most obvious difference between this Thomas line and the others is the haplogroup -- E1b1b1c1a -- the only Thomas men tested who belong to this haplogroup -- and we have 11 lines tested from desecendants of these two men -- still have miles to go but definitely well into our journey. Take care.

    2. Does this cover all the bases? Y- DNA tests done at www.familytreedna.com from direct malelines represented here, and included in this family file, confirms that theJohn Thomas of Guilford Co., NC and the Michael Thomas of Fayette Co., KY arethe brothers, Hans Thoma born in Germany and Michael Thomas born in Virginiawho obtained the original land patent in 1726 Spotsylvania Co., VA among the 2ndGermanna Colony. The Haplogroup for this Thomas family is E1b1b1c1a. As ofAugust 2011, there have been 14 lines tested within this Thomas group. 1 JohannesTHOMA 1685 - 1721 . +AnnaMaria Blankenbühler 1687 - 1762 ... 2 Hans(John) Wendel THOMA/Thomas 1712 - 1785 ....... +Mary ........ 3 MichaelThomas 1755 - 1817 ... *2nd Wifeof Hans (John) Wendel THOMA/Thomas: ....... +Sarah ........ 3 JesseThomas 1760 - 1844 ........ 3 WilliamM.Thomas 1763 - 1835 ... 2 MichaelTHOMAS 1718 - 1800 ....... +Catherine/PossiblyWayland - 1759 ........ 3 HenryThomas 1738 - 1817 ........ 3 MichaelThomas, 1750 - 1840 ........ 3 AbrahamTHOMAS 1755 - 1843 -----Original Message----- From: Marc Wheat <Germanna1714@yahoo.com> To: germanna_colonies <germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com> Cc: germanna_colonies <germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sat, Sep 10, 2011 4:58 am Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] DNA Please add E1b1b1c1a to the data and when the test was taken.

    3. I agree that the DNA results should be added, but I do not agree with the conclusion that it proves that John and Michael are brothers. I believe that it does prove that they are closely related, but other best evidence available must also be used to conclude that they are brothers.
