I took notes on all the Goffs I could find on the reel, and posted them on the web. They can be accessed through the following link: http://genealogy.roonierella.com/birth_goff.htm Thanks. Hope this helps someone.

Hi! Yes, your friend is a great candidate for the study. The goal is to include as many of the known Goff families (and variant spellings) as possible. In this way, we can begin to sort out definitively how the families connect. We've already connected two Goff families that were previously unknown to be connected. More Goffs are joining the study every month. Here is a link to the three testing labs: http://home.comcast.net/~philgoff/GoffDNA.htm. Please email me offline if you have specific questions about the signup procedure. You will notice that the turnaround time and price vary by lab. I hope your friend joins the study!

Hello everyone, I'm new to the list, so my apologies if this has previously been discussed. :o) I was wondering, just out of curiosity, is there anyone on the list that was related, directly or indirectly, to Norris Goff of Lum-N-Abner fame?? I live in the area and remember listening to the show as a child. And know what a wonderful part of history their radio shows and movies were. Thanks in advance! :o) Take care, Diana

Surnames: Goff Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5MZ.2ACEB/1202 Message Board Post: The Goff Surname DNA Study continues to uncover surprising results. To date, we have proven the existence of three major groupings of Goff families, which are unrelated in any genealogically relevant period. These families are: 1. The family of the four Goff brothers of western Virginia, including James Goff (1735-1834), John Turton Goff, Thomas Goff and Salathiel Goff. Three of these brothers remained in what is now WV while Thomas moved to Clark Co., KY. 2. The families of Edmund S. Gawf/Goff (1794 NC/VA - ca1883 TN) and Lewis R. Goff (1811 NC/SC - 1894 TN), which were previously not known to be related have been found to have exact matches in the DNA test. What's more, their family legends about an early ancestor having been born a Barlow and later taking the name Goff has been corroborated by the DNA Study. 3. The latest results show an exact DNA match between the family of Stephen Goff (1743 CT - 1799 NC) and James E. Goff (1805 NC - 1853 IN). In addition, there is indication that the family of John Gough (b. 1805 Northern Ireland) may also be connected to this branch. At this point, we are seeking male participants with an unbroken paternal lineage from the following Goff families: > Thomas Goff (1747 - 1824 KY) of the four Goff brothers of western Virginia > Phillip Goffe (1627 CT - 1674 CT), great-grandfather of Stephen Goff (1743 CT - 1799 CT) >Isham Goff (1809 SC - after 1870 AR) >Any other Goff/Gough who is *unrelated* to the above four men Full results are available at http://home.comcast.net/~philgoff/GoffBook.htm Thanks, Phil Goff

I obtained a copy of his record of death from the Putnam County Clerk's office and I am trying to determine if this Leonard matches with any others in my tree. They did not send me the headings for all the entries, but he died in November 1888, and the location county is listed as Union. It says he died of Fits. Then it lists the name "James & Margaret" - there is no heading, but I am going to assume these are his parents. I belive it also indicates that he was 13 years old. Thanks.
