This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Goff, Rust Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5MZ.2ACEB/1202.1 Message Board Post: Phil, I have been doing research for a close friend of mine, and he is direct male Goff Descendant. He is a direct decendant of Leonard Goff & Sarah Rust ~ Leonard's father was John McGhee Goff. Most of his family was from Kanwha, West Virginia, which I have documentation for. John McGhee Goff was married in Bedford, VA and was born in Virginia. Would he be a good canidate for this study? Thanks.
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!
