this is from another newsletter I am on the list for   Notebook readers may be interested in the following sites and news items:   Selected U.S. Naturalization Records, 1790-1974 - Ancestry.com has released an index of naturalization records that will soon become a part of the World Archives Project. New York, Pennsylvania, and California were recently added to the database, which already included South Carolina, Louisiana, Colorado, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts and Maine.  Once indexing is completed, the records will be free.  For now, Ancestry.com subscribers can search here.   Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter had a post about a new map resource. A U.S. atlas was rescued from the trash, and the scanned images of county maps from all 50 states are available at this site.  The maps are dated from 1910 through 1914 and provide an interesting look at our ancestors' U.S. locations.

While approving gravestone photos for the Iowa Gravestone Photo Project (GPP), the gravestone of Howard C. Berry & the inscription caught my eye and curosity: http://iowagravestones.org/gs_view.php?id=423775. I've now posted some of the news stories about the May 1919 Douglas Starch works explosion on 'Iowa Old Press'.

Thanks, John, That's what if assumed, regretfully. I have several lines going back to 1635 +/- in America but have not pursued DNA testing for that reason. Take care.

Hello all. I've been following your discussions and appreciate what I'm learning from you. I'd like to get your input on how effective it would be for my brother to take a DNA test for Newman lineage when the descendant line has at least two women (my ggg grandmother and great grandmother) carrying the gene? In other words their is no direct male Newman line to my brother and me. Does it make any sense to go to the expense of a DNA test because of this break? I've heard that it is more difficult, but not impossible, to find the direct DNA lineage with women's genes. (and maybe more so with two or more women in the direct line.) Is this true? If it is, this may be why so many of us don't through with DNA testing. If this is cleared up, perhaps more of us out here would be signing up for testing. By the way, I am researching the Newman line. In particular Ezekiel Newman (son of Daniel & Dorothy) b. 1750 Bedford, NY., d. 1836 in Smithboro, Tioga Co., NY, wife: Temperance (Stuart/Stewart) d. 1840 in Smithboro, Tioga Co., NY. Their daughter, "Alche" (aka Malissie/ Elsie) Newman (my ggg grandmother) m. Ira Canfield, and their son Orsemus Canfield, b. 1814, Millsport, Chemung Co., NY, d. 1907 in Chariton, Lucas Co., Iowa is my great grandfather. Orsemus & Hannah Canfield's daughter, Alice/Allis (my Great grandmother) who also died in Iowa. I haven't seen any mention of this line and hope someone has interest. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say.
