Dear Jean, Are you talking about mitochondrial DNA? I have investigated doing that testing myself, it is only interesting in that it will tell you where your maternal line originated from in the world, and where that tribe moved and settled to. Have you read SYKES book, the seven daughters of Eve? However, my children come from a long line of BLANCHARDS, who first settled in Boston Mas, in 1637. Another BLANCHARD family arrived in Boston some two years later. It was always speculated that the two senior males of each family were brothers. (One of my ex husband's forebears moved to Nova Scotia and then our branch arrived in Australia in the 1850's some time. We haven't pinned the boat down yet.) Finally a university linked test was set up for any male Blanchard or similar name, who wished to contribute. They have now proved conclusively that the two men and families were of no relation whatsoever, and as more and more men contribute their DNA they are following offshoot names and other family lines that are related. These families find it all very exciting.

I run the machelsea-l list and i occasionaly post polish imigrants info to this list and i have a database of 155,000 names .Mtdna can beused to connect these people like san danato mentioned below, poland had many records destroyed in ww2 so how can mtdna play a part? simple locations,locations locations if you have a location which is heavely researched . just a ton of paperwork but some wives if mentioned had no maiden names.So you dont know maybe who this women is except for the name Mary Now you have the females decended from Mary Marys husband was a pratt. you have in your database 7 people who decend from that couple 2 might be males decended from Samual Pratt's 6 sons but 5 are females who are decended thru the female lines off of Mary's 7 daughters. these members are luke warm to all this since maiden names arent available. How can you be sure all the paperwork is true and people did what they said they did so you get all 7 to test .the two males match making them decendents of Samuel. Now the 5 females test and match exactly proving that they are decendents of Mary so all 7 are related .immediatly all their paperwork merges and their trees spread wider more like an elm now then a fir. but does it stop there you have done the genealogy of this tri town area and have many Pratts. Included in this paperwork are familes suspected but not proven to be near these pratts and some never thought to be Pratts Do you stop testing with these 7 hell no and people seeing the results fell maybe i can get some new people. As new people test those suspected to be close to the Pratts with no proof maybe they lived in prattville . they get their brother to test and his mtdna matches the 5 sisters decendents and his ydna is his surname Dearborn. Dearborn recruits his uncle to make sure they match they do but the uncle surprises everyone and matches the 5 women decended from mary. Uncle Dearborn has his tree past the Samuel Pratt and Mary. He looks at his time table to see who might be the conection. sure enough in the period his tree has Jacob Dearborn and Priscilla they had 8 kids 5 seemed to survive but only 3 were known to have paperwork past birth .one of the two undocumented was a Mary so this means using his paperwork we find a female decendent of Priscilla. we test her and sure enough she matches the five decendents of Mary ,Mary,Uncle dearborn, nephew Dearborn, this means somehow nephew dearborn's mom and uncle dearborns mom were related to priscilla Jacob's wife now you merge all the trees involved and the research on the community has guidance on what to expect to find. I dont know how many of you have done towns genealogys I have and this is more then possible even probable Now i just started The Frosinone Project.Many people migrated to parts of the world. Now 50+ years later the children want to know am i related to all mazzolas from san danato as i am a mazzola from there . They pilgramage to there yearly.one problem its 8 miles from monte casino. In the battle with the germans there was mass bombings all buildings were leveled . all records destroyed. all grave yards destroyed. only 50 -100 years and no answers wanna bet ydna makes the families but mtdna connects them. So whats needed is a large database with decendents families .Most know the ggrandparents from american death certs and grave yards,ect.as you accumalate the surname lines and the mtdna lines the process above will pay off at least to connect the mazzolas of the world to san danato maybe it isnt easy but who said it would be genealogy never is Jim Denning -Ygenealogist-MTgenealogist using Genetics to connect Chelsea,Ma.-Woburn,Ma.-denning-dennen-danin-dinan-dinihey-denningston-dinning- carlon-carroll-dever-cogan-malone-heslin-piscopo-mazzola-martini-farrell-mchug h-farley-grimes-lynch-doherty-SanDanto,Ita-Adargh,longford-Revere,Ma-Wintrop,M a.- and ever an growing list List owner of Irish-dna,Piscopo-l-Heslin-l,McHugh-l,Cogan-l-Machelsea-l,Ita-Frosinone-l,Mazzola-l-Duggan-l Project Manager of Chelsea Ma.

Hi! This may seem like a silly question...but in doing my research back to Phil., PA. with my grandmother Burns family (early 1900's). I ran across a nun who told me that an aunt of mine (who refuses to share the genealogical information she has) called her years ago...and mentioned a Foley 'connection' that I can not seem to find with the Burns family in PA. or with the Riley's. It is haunting me...anyone have any ideas, links, connections, ties or ideas? Happy Turkey Day to everyone! Jim Riley http://www.lulu.com/content/210331 James E. F.

Greetings, I got the below correspondence as a response to my website and my interest in Whelton genealogy. At first I was excited, thrilled out of my shoes! But then I got suspicious and am wondering if I might be wrong to be so.... I mentioned names in my family history, John, David and "evil" uncle Andrew who I doubt is even a Whelton....my ggrandfather Bartholomew was left behind in Ireland when the rest of the family emigrated in 1861 as a 6 year old and stayed with "Uncle Andrew" who mistreated him....but these names were from 150 years ago!! The fellow who wrote to me has all of these names in his family including "Andrew" and wants to see the US. I don't want to seem unfriendly but this seems like a setup to me....someone anxious to visit the US and making up ancestors..... If anyone has the time to read the correspondence and can comment on it, I'd appreciate it. I 've been "leary" of writing back to this guy again....

Dick and jeanne, Participating in the DNA program is TOTALLY worth the money. It is an investment in helping fture genealogists. As well, for me it confirmed a whole family branch in the U. S. We could trace no known connections in the U. S. dating back to 1855. Me and the other person who tested have IDENTICAL paternal DNA, as well as same surname. So we now know beyond doubt that we share a common pater in Ireland and he had more detail on his ancestors in Ireland so I have been able to narrow the3 focus of my research to the Waterville area, rather than all of Kerry. With the scientific confirmations, who knows what will emerge in the future. So lay the foundations, plant the seed of future trees.

Dear one and all, many apologies, in my annoyance I called the Family Records Centre in London the Family History Centre - so sorry!! And I do know that many records are available on-line, but this place was wonderful, you saw the faces of people light up when long-lost family members were found, some times with whoops of joy. People helped and encouraged each other, and shared their knowledge and experience. I so used to look forward to going, it made the long trip up to the Great Wen bearable.... But I do apologize for the confusion inadvertently caused, Mary

Does this make sense? It may answer the conundrum of the "nonappearance" of people that you would expect to find in these lists. Also a quick reference to an event that does not seem to have appeared on your boards. In October our Government here in the UK removed all the paper index ledgers to the old post 1837 birth, marriage and death lists from the wonderful Family History Centre in Islington, London, which anybody and everybody could look up at any time to find details of their family members in England or Wales. They had PROMISED that these would be freely available online, but, having sent the work out abroad, this is now hopelessly behind, and will not happen now for years and years. You now have to go to the National Archives in Kew ( much more difficult to get to than the Family History Centre ) and peer at microfilm. Anybody who has researched microfilm will know what this means. A great shame..... and this information belongs to the public - not the Government. Mary

Surnames: Connelly Collins My grandmother Bridget Connelly was born 2 October 1879 and baptized at the church in Ballyduff in Causeway three days later. She was the daughter of Denis and Mary (Collins) Connelly. Bridget came to the U.S. about 1900, settling in Holyoke, Massachusetts where she married Patrick Hannifan. After Patrick's death she married Albert Tilbe in 1919. Since Bridget was supposed to be one of 25 (!) children of Denis Connelly (by two wives), there must be others who are looking for these people! Any help would be appreciated, since Bridget was reluctant to talk about the past in her later years. Jim Tilbe
