New Henry DNA Project My personal purpose is to sort Henry groups in East TN who were of Scots-Irish descent and passed through VA to TN. I believe "my" group came through PA (or other areas in the North East) before that. I am primarily interested in Henrys who had Henry ancestors here before the Rev. War. You made read the description of the project at the site below. If you do join, please send me your direct descent from your furthest proven ancestor to you. Please do not put an ancestor because grandma, great-grandma or anyone else "said so." Please do not mention that you were told that you were related to Patrick Henry (almost all Henrys coming out of the South have that legend.) Please do not put "information" from the John J. Henry database on Alexander Henry down to East TN Henrys as that is invented. Just go back to your furthest proven Henry ancestor. The DNA will help us sort from there into closer groups in which we can share information, research, and hone in on the truth!! Those of German and Jewish or other descent may join as you desire. I don't see why these can't all be sorted at once! I would love Henry males who had Henry ancestors in PA, NJ, DE, NY, etc. before the Rev. War to join. Here is how to sign up for the kit: http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=J74296&special=true A great site to fully explore that helps one understand the hows and why: http://www.familytreedna.com/dna101.html Explore the following and all its different links: http://www.familytreedna.com I have started watching the videos / tutorials. They are great! Here is how to check and see if there are projects going on other families that you research: http://www.familytreedna.com/searchtips.html Doris Noland Parton Dandridge, TN tenntree@direcway.com
