    3. I am so sorry to hear about Dale's passing. His family and friends have my deepest sympathy. As we get older, so many of us are losing our family, friends, and acquaintances. He was an avid HANCOCK researcher, and shared much with so many of us, as we strove to distinguish our different ancestries via a paper trail and make family connections. And, of more recent challenge has been trying to learn to which DNA chart and family lines we were connected. Like so many of us with gray hair, my activeness in researching has slowed somewhat. Takes me longer to get just those necessary things completed on a daily basis. I am still researching my husband's HANCOCK line after 45+ years, but that brick wall keeps hampering my progess, as well as others in our family line. Lately I have been communicating with many of those once in Julia's Chart 3 on her now defunct website and with some new DNA testees who match my husband's DNA. We just cannot find that elusive ancestor to whom so many of us in early colonial Virginia connect and whose descendants are found in so many counties in Virginia, North Carolina, & Tennessee. I have been unable to contact a number of the male participants who match my husband and others on Julia's FamilyTree DNA charts. It is apparent that our immigrant ancestor or his sons or male relatives was/were in America quite early. If you are of this DNA, you may wish to check this website, as we attempt to build knowledge about our ancestral line, which is not Julia's DNA line nor Arvil's DNA line. You may wish to check out this site and visit the links therein posted. Any additional information from any testee of this group would be appreciate. So many earliest ancestors as Benjamin HANCOCK for many of us. http://tinyurl.com/9kn89gw Audrey (Shields) Hancock
