Jim, Thanks for clearing up my questions. The Family Finder is probably what I need to do. I have all my lines to at least my great great grandparents and most beyond. A brother tested for my paternal Steorts line where I hit a brick wall with my great great grandfather George Steorts (Storts, Stots, Sturtz, or who knows) born 1769 whose life is a mystery before he showed up in land records at the Harrison / Lewis County line in 1817 at age 48 and later married into the Minter Bailey family. There may be an earlier family I know nothing about. I started a STORTS DNA project (most likely early spelling before the "E" got added) but am no good at it. The only thing accomplished so far was helping some Staats cousins find each other. A second cousin tested for my Walker line who is documented back to 1658 in Virginia. Interesting family. Like many of us I am thoroughly "rooted" in West Virginia." Linda In a message dated 9/24/2010 6:33:36 P.M.

The new Family Finder test, looks at 500,000 places all across all of your DNA, and as such gets big blocks of DNA from ALL of your ancestors. If someone else takes the same test, and shares one of your ancestors, then he/she may well get part of the same big block of DNA that you got (and this tends to happen in 5-10 different places on your and their DNA), and so the computer selects these people (from the whole database of everyone who takes this test) and reports only these matches to you. Depending on how much and how many big blocks of matching DNA you share indicates how close your cousin match might be. THIS TEST TREATS EVERY ANCESTOR EQUALLY (MALE & FEMALE); so males and females can take the same test; and the matches with other people could be from any of your ancestors. The main drawback on this test is that it determines 3rd cousin matches pretty easily, and it drops off quickly as you get past 5th cousin. So if you want to target a specific line, you should get a Y-DNA or mtDNA test - both of these will show matches back many hundreds of years. If you want to confirm many of your ancestral lines back 5,6,7 generations, sometimes more, then the Family Finder test is the one for you.

What test works with both male and female lines? If you test with one group does it also work with other groups? Am I expecting too much from one test? Which test should I take? Linda

Sara, On the one hand you are right to raise cautions. DNA is a tool, just like records, tombstones, bibles and family stories. No DNA test gives you a pedigree or even names. The results are gobbley-gook to me, but you are also provided with the names and emails of others who match your results. These are living people who have also spent the time and money to get DNA tested, and most of them are eager to share info. And, yes, you won't get info from some, and you won't find a common ancestor with some. But on the other hand, many of the matches pay off with new info, new contacts, new cousins. You can also use DNA to test a theory when the paper trail runs dry. Bob Bartley and I started the BARTLETT DNA Project to see if our DNA matched, because we felt his BARTLEY ancestor and my BARTLETT ancestor were brothers in early 1700s - they were: exact DNA match. On the other hand, despite the fact that you don't always get the results you want, I strongly feel that every serious genealogist should get their DNA on file for future use as testing gets even better. Fortunately I got my Dad's and my mother's brother's DNA tested before they passed away in 2006. In both cases their DNA made a major breakthrough in my genealogy. Also, in general, I don't think most genealogists need to know the biology or statistics or any of the other technical issue involved in DNA testing in order to use it as a tool in their research, along with their paper trail. I think the Project Admins are there to help with any tech info. But at the end of the day, genealogists still have to compare paper trails with each other, using all the records available, including the fact that these two lines have a DNA match - or not. The magic in DNA is getting a very accurate fact (2 lines match or not). It is then up to the genealogist to use this fact along with all others. If you're lucky you may also get the magic of a good project admin and other surname researchers, who help you. Jim - Sent from my iPhone - FaceTime!

Melinda, Thanks, and one important point: whenever you pinpoint your common ancestor, you have really taken the DNA back to both the man AND his wife!! Unless the man had two wives and you descend from one and your match descends from the other wife. So, presuming you both descend from the same husband-wife team (even if you don't know her name), then you really don't know if your matching DNA came from his parents or hers. You DO know however that all the links from the common couple down to you are now confirmed through matching DNA. That's because the only way you and your match could have the same DNA is if one of your ancestral couples had that DNA and passed it down through the generations to you. Don't be afraid to look out beyond close cousins for your close matches. If you had cousins who married in your ancestry (we all do somewhere) or if you share two ancestors with your match, then the DNA is "doubled up" and it looks to the FTDNA computer as a closer cousin.

I have joined the COLLINS surname group as well as the Maryland DNA group. As you stated so many of us come from families who were in the central WV area before the RevWar and must be connected in ways we are not aware of. Being able to compare our DNA not only helps us get past the proverbial "brick wall" but it also validates our research to this point. > > Melinda Larson > > > >

In July, I established a West Virginia DNA Project.... I made a request to have this project endorsed by the HCPD board, to be linked on the HCPD webpage and published and advertised in the Journal. A flyer was provide to be posted at the Gathering as well. Sometimes the wheels of progress move slowly. I asked certain people about establishing such a Project at FTDNA for WV roots over a year ago and no one wanted to do that then. Having a project for HCPD, is a bit narrowly focused and would set a precedent for establishing a Project for every Creek in West Virginia. West Virginia- seems to an appropriately identifiable geographic range for both non Society member of any as well as public DNA participants who develop their own interest. FTDNA does not like to set up Projects that are in competition. Since I contacted Betty and Joy back in July and August I have not heard back anything. Perhaps, there is a problem with HCPD in supporting DNA project. I have also run into problems with other WV genealogical "networks" in progressing forward and making available the information about the newly formed West Virginia DNA Project. Individuals who have not obtained a test can join directly with the WV DNA project at the link below and order a test. If one already has a test http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=West_Virginia If one already has a test, then use your Join button on your results webpage to go to DUAL GEOGRPAHIC Project on FTDNA's Project Webpages, to join your kit. http://www.familytreedna.com/projects.aspx http://www.familytreedna.com/surname-projects.aspx?let=W&projecttype=DG Paul Pettit Project Adminstrator West_Virginia DNA Project

The new Family Finder DNA Test results in names and emails of others with matching DNA. These would be your cousins from any of your ancestors (much more than just your all-male or all-female lines). So far I've gotten matches with other folks who descend from my ancestors: BURRELL, BUSH, CAMPBELL, CLARK, FIELDING, FISHER, HAM/M, HAWKINS, RUCKER, STEPHENS, STRATTON, and WILLIS. Because this DNA passes from these Ancestral lines down to the match and to me, it also validates my paper trail between the common ancestor and me, which includes parts of the following lines: BAKER, BARTLETT, BUTCHER, GLAZE, MITCHELL, and PLUNKETT. Many of these families were in Harrison, Lewis and other northern WV counties - which is where most of my ancestral roots are. HCPD is like an extended family, with many having deep roots in the counties included in HCPD area. If there is interest, I would like to form an HCPD Family Finder Group at Family Tree DNA. With such a group, anyone with HCPD roots could sign up for Family Finder (or other DNA) testing. Or if you've already been tested as part of a SURNAME group, FTDNA allows you to also join another Group (such as an HCPD Group). The benefit of such a group, is having the Group Administrator (me and 1 or 2 coAdmins from HCPD) be able to help everyone in the Group and to, perhaps, develop a web page as we track the DNA matches, and confirm various lines from the original settlers. Please let me know, as a reply to this post or privately to [email protected], if you are interested and/or would participate (or have participated) in a Family Finder test. I can confidently predict we'd have a lot of fun as we confirm our genealogies with DNA. Jim Bartlett
