I lurk in this group not because I am a Germanna descendent but because I have [English] Smith, Thomas and Southard families who lived in close proximity in the 1700's and 1800's Anyway I am involved in several DNA Groups (Hogg, Southard) and they go slow but you have to keep plugging There is a Yeager group however. http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/yeager -----Original Message----- From: germanna_colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:germanna_colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Corlee Morris Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 5:08 PM To: Germanna List Subject: [GERMANNA] No Yager/Yeager DNA Study in the works Sorry to disappoint, but I am looking for a Yeager male to capture the Y-Chromosome before the line dies out. There were no more Yeagers in my line to test. I have a double cousin who has a Yeager Uncle that is going to be tested (soon I hope). I am trying to capture all of my DNA lines while links still exist. Once the Genealogy DNA sample has been taken, future test can be performed as the need arises. All Germanna descendants do not need to be test to build a DNA tree. I have the Mitochondrial information for all female descendants from Anna Barbara Schone Blankenbaker Born: 29 Sep 1664 Neuenburg, Baden, Germany and all of the descendants from her 3 daughters. At one time I proposed a Germanna DNA Project but I was told that Germanna could not take on that type of task. So I dropped it. But it would be an interesting study. Since our genealogies are well documented it would be great to see what changes took place since 1717.
