This is the one I'm getting ready to order, $119.00 for y-dna37 +mtdna from the below link: http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?code=U48509&Group=Lewis-2 Pat Lewis

The Y-DNA37+mtDNA test listed on http://www.familytreedna.com/products.aspx is $399.00. What's the difference for the Lewis' test kit?

Janet I do believe I have my login to national geographic I still have all the info they sent me. I'll try if I have any problems can I contact you? I really would love to find more of my distant family I have never met. Female can only do the maternal line correct. I need a male family member for my paternal line. You know what I might need to buy one for a male on my mom's side too if I don't see my brother. How does that work? So I can figure out what I need.

This is the current FTDNA offer and a tremendous deal. For YDNA, the minimum genealogically relevant test that you should go for is a 37 marker test, 12 markers to get started if that is all you can afford, but this deal is barely above the 12 marker test cost and includes mtDNA as well. You can obtain the sale price through any Surname Project. Y-DNA37+mtDNA for $ (only a bit more than a 12 marker test's normal price). ( – a reduction of more than 50%!!) • The promotion will begin on June 9, 2009 and will end on June 24, 2009 • Kits ordered in this sale must be paid for by June 30, 2009 Good searching, John Carr

Thanks I new it wasn't on sale anymore. I just saved the email so I wouldn't forget where to order. So the basic one is a good one to get started. I did some testing on the maternal through national geographic but I have no idea if I can use those results or even where those results are. Thanks.

Can someone help me which would be the best test. I'm going to buy it and have my brother or uncle tested. I'll be seeing one or both next month. Thanks in advance. Micki Healthy and Whole Living (he2 got deleted) http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/HWliving/ -----Original Message----- From: lewis-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lewis-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of ljcrain2 Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 10:45 AM To: lewis@rootsweb.com; lewis-dna@rootsweb.com Cc: Cosette Lewis Subject: [LEWIS] mtDNA Refine On Sale Now!!! This applies to those who have already been tested in the HV1 section of the mtDNA: Due to the unmatched growth of our database, many customers are finding genealogically significant connections through mtDNA. It is often more difficult to make these connections because surnames change in each generation along the maternal line and because mtDNA mutates more slowly. However, testing an additional region of the mtDNA can significantly increase a person's chances of finding the genealogically significant match he or she has been looking for, and help to narrow down the maternal lineage's potential countries of origin. To support our customers' effort to find these connections, Family Tree DNA is offering a sale on the mtDNA Refine upgrade, which tests the HVR2 region of mtDNA, from May 27th through June 5th. No new kit is necessary as your DNA is already stored at our testing facility. mtDNA Refine Standard Price: $75 Your Price: $59 This upgrade may be helpful if: a.. You are searching for connections in your family tree to extend your genealogy b.. You already have low resolution mtDNA matches This upgrade will not change your haplogroup assignment. Samples with no matches would not benefit from this upgrade at this time, although as the database grows and matches are found the mtDNA Refine can help narrow down how closely related the matches are. Customers interested in upgrading instead to the mtDNA full sequence test (Mega) should contact us at info@familytreedna.com. There is no need to contact our staff to receive this upgrade pricing; this special price will be adjusted in the system accordingly. You can find your discounted price listed under the "SPECIAL OFFER" link on your Family Tree DNA personal page. As always, we appreciate your continued support.

Born in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales 25th March 1906. He married my Grandmother ( a Catherine Lower) before divorcing her after the War. During the war he was a prisoner of war in Germany, having been in the merchant navy returning to Britain very ill. He had 2 daughters by my Grandmother ( Catherine); a Margaret and Phyllis, no sons. I've never seen a photo of him but believe he had a number of brothers and sisters. That's all I know at the moment. Does this sound familiar?

I am referring to the uncle Alexander Lewis who raised (from notes of Neydine Pille's mother) his sister, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis, b. 27 April 1837, Covington, Campbell Co., Ky. who was the 3rd wife of Jacob VanDusen b. 20 March 1819 Covington, Campbebell Co., Ky., son of Isaac VanDusen.... Beryl Fettig was never able to make a connection to John Lewis during her lifetime...She had once told me that the her father told her the Lewis' were from Wales.... If we can find the uncle who owned a tabacco factory in Pennsylvania we may get another clue to John Lewis' family... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: carol2ron Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lewis/12057.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Here is what I have on Alexander.. from a Granddaughter, Beryly Fettig. He had a yet undiscovered brother and sister, born in Covington, Kenton Co. KY. He is buried at Goldfield Cemetery, Goldfield, Wright, IA, his ex-wife Ellen (Brazelton)Williams and husband O. R. Williams at Glenwood Cemetery, Goldfield, Wright, IA. Their children died in NE, TX, AR, OR, UT and WA. Served as a drummer in the Union Army - Civil War. Beryl Fettig (Uncle Noel's daughter in Killdeer, ND) has copies of his service records. Marched with Sherman to Atlanta. The following is excerpted from notes provided by Beryl Fettig: We have no birth record of Alexander - only information given on his enlistment papers, and his own statement in the "History of Jones County Iowa" page 673, for the year 1879. The years between Alexander's birth in 1840 and the year 1851 when he says he came to Marion, Linn County, Iowa are an absolute blank. Also where he lived from 1851, age 11, until the year 1855 when he says he went to work for Alfred Brazelton until his 21st birthday, is not known. With whom he came, and with whom he lived until he began his contract with Alfred Brazelton is not known. He enlisted in the Company H, 31st Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Infantry on Aug. 14, 1862, for a period of 3 years and was mustered in at Camp Herron on Oct. 13, 1862. He was promoted to Corporal in Oct. o f 1864. He was mustered out at Louisville, KY on June 27, 1865. Listed as a Musician - Drummer. Alexander's health was permanently damaged by his years of war service. The after-effects of malaria, typhoid, dysentery, and shell shock were forever with him, and his untimely death at age 45, twenty years after the close of the war, is directly attributable to damage caused to his liver and kidneys. His pension, granted 2 years before his death, bears this out. In the war he participated in over 28 engagements, including the battles of Yazoo City (Miss), Arkansas Post, the siege of Vicksburg (Miss), Lookout Mountain (Chattanooga Tenn) and Ringold (GA), and was in Sherman's "march to the sea" (the burning of Atlanta). Note: His participation in the battle of Lookout Mountain probably implies that he was present at the Battle of Chickamauga (Georgia) which preceeded Lookout Mountain by just a few days and is immediately across the TN/GA border from Lookout. (RPL) He returned to Monticello , Iowa where he married, on Oct. 8, 1865, Ellen Brazelton , the third child in a family of 11 children born to William and Ruth (Minton) Brazelton of Monticello. In 1872 Alexander and Ellen, with their children William Franklin, born 1866, George Alexander, born 15 April 1868, Albert Sherman , born 14 June 1871, moved to a farm in York County, Neb. There little William Franklin died in 1872. On 31 July 1874 Fredrick Arthur was born at Arborville. In the fall of 1874, the family returned to Jones Co., Iowa where Alexander farmed Section 10 near Monticello. Then sometime between 1878 and August, 1883, they moved to Eagle Grove, Wright Co., Iowa. Ernest John was born 7 Sept. 1878 at Monticello, before they moved, and Noel Brazelton was born 17 Aug. 1883 at Eagle Grove - the last of the six Lewis boys. They never had a sister. As time passed Alexander's health, ruined by wartime illnesses, became steadily worse and he became unable to work. He applied for, and was given an invalid pension of $4.00 a month by the U.S. Pension Bureau, the pension being for "Malarial poisoning, Chronic diarrhea , rheumatism, scurvey, and nervous derangement". Imagine a pension of $4.00 per month for a family of six, soon to be seven with Noel's birth on Aug. 17, 1883. The pension didn't help Alexander very long - he died 16 Feb. 1885, at the age of 45 years 1 month, and was buried at Goldfield 19 Feb. 1885. His grave in the Goldfield Cemetery has a military stone and the metal marker of the "Grand Army of the Republic" (G.A.R.) (signed) Beryl E.
