Harold, you wouldn't by chance have a copy of the CHART you could send me do you? what I mean by the chart is where you read across and then down to determine exactly what kin that person is like: 1st cousin, third cousin twice removed , etc. jcj of va ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

If you use powers of 2 to create your mathmodel or matheminder. 2 2nd generation 4 8 16 32 64 128 8th generation 256 512 1024 By the time you get past the 10th or 11th generation you are surely out of the country or at least out of the Americas if you are Eastern Hemisphere origins. then comes 2048 12th generation. That is still a lot of work in another country. Whenever you find an ancestor, you also add two more. It is an never ending piece of work. but we LOVE IT.. Harold \

>From my Cousin Lee Johnson JC, My Johnson lines of Michael came down the Appalachian Mountains through Surry Co., and includes William's and Drury's. But unfortunately, I have found that to be as common as John Smith. There is one way that you may find out for sure: You can have a DNA test done in the Johnson Surname Project by: 1) Going to this site https://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=X15311&special=True<about:blank> 2) Just simply fill out all the information and submit it to Family Tree DNA. 3) They will then send you a kit in the mail for your testing. To see what this consists of you can view a website, of how to use your kit, at the following address: http://davedorsey.com/dna.html<about:blank> 4) MAKE SURE TO SIGN YOUR RELEASE MAILED TO YOU IN YOUR KIT BEFORE MAILING IT BACK. 5) Go to the following page and turn in what you have DOCUMENTED of your pedigree, and submit. 6) Family Tree will have your results posted in 4-6 weeks on average, depending on how thorough of a test you have ran. 7) When your results are in, you will be notified of your matches, if any. We will take your pedigree and post them on the page with your matches, if any. If you have a common ancestor with one of your matches, we will link your pedigrees together at that person. For an example of this you may view my pedigree (participant # 7261) at this site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hjohnson/Pedigrees/416.htm<about:blank> . If you don't have any matches, we will post your pedigree on your own page, and as matches come in the future, add them to your page. FTDNA will give you your own personal pages which will have your matches, and other information that you may be interested in. They will also notify you of any matches that you have in the future! If you wish to view any of the other pedigrees, I warn you that we have over 425 members now. But if you wish to, you can go to this site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hjohnson/index.html<about:blank> and choose 1 of the 5 members pages and click on their kit numbers. This will bring up their lines & matches. We are always here to help you, any way that we can. Just don't be afraid to ask!!

So (yes, I'm a bit slow LOL) if my dad is the son of a Johnson, would that be considered a "carrier"? His mom was the Johnson.

Tony, I can't see where there is any more work for someone to read YOUR messages than there would be for them to go to the library and pull out books and read thru them for hours JUST to find some JOHNSON info.

I totally agree. I don't have time to read all the JOHNSON messages from Tony, but I simply move them to a "Tony - Johnson Info" folder & when I have time I will read them.

Thank you Tony, Olen (I had an Uncle with your name but he spelled it Olin (lee Abram) anyway, Tony had mentioned some about how he was able to eliminate a line due to the DNA project. So I was wondering how distance can a person be? He also mentioned it had to be a male that did it. The reason I'm wondering is because my dad's mom was a Johnson, we might have a couple close connections, but I doubt strongly they'd be willing to do this.....they don't seem to want to open up any closet's with the skeleton's in it. :) Thanks for any help Alli :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Johnson" <tonyempireore@msn.com> To: "Olen Lee "DNA COUSIN" Johnson" <sctsmn@charter.net>; <johnson@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 2:15 PM Subject: Re: [JOHNSON] Searching for: Ancestors of James Johnson (d1810,Tenn) and wife Charity--Question > Olen Lee Johnson ha inherited the Johnson-Johnston DNA project from the > Late Harold Johnson of Maryland.

Its as if they worked at avoiding leaving records behind. Other than the random leaps backwards via will lists and Revolutionary War pension lists that tend to neglect the spouse and offspring details that I need to identify which David Johnson it is (especially when David is a beneficiary of the will or pension) I'm looking for and at early Kentucky church records. My David Johnson joined the Bethel Baptist Church at Jackson MO by letter in 1812. So some church, probably in Christian Co KY released him and his family by that letter. The family was hyperactive in the church for decades, producing one ordained preacher before the Civil War. That church search may well be complicated by the family having become inspired by the 1799 start of revivals in Logan Co KY that drew people from many miles each time and many were baptized and joined churches as the result of those revivals so its entirely possible that our families' church history began at one of those revivals and that track will be broken. I sure so wish they'd kept a diary from generation to generation and it hadn't been tossed out, but that might have required more education and leisure time than life in those woods allowed for in 1800.
