Thanks everyone on the great response concerning the Ancestry DNA test.  Next question!...haha!..How about GenealogyBank.com. What does it have to offer that might set it apart from Ancestry.com. On Friday they are having a 25% off savings. I feel it needs to offer something different than Ancestry, or Im just getting a duplication. Most of my family is in Worcester Co., MD, save a set of ggrandparents from WV I welcome your analysis & comparison of genealogyBank.com vs other genealogy sites. Thanks Mike

I did the same thing, received my results and anticipated all those contacts that did not materialize. Fortunately, I tested both Y and mtDNA. I was contacted by a lady who tested her mtDNA and asked me about paternal and maternal ancestor surnames. What a break for both of us. We helped each other with both sides of DNA. Good thing she took the initiative or I may still be waiting. Many researchers are also researching their spouse's lines. That got me to start initiating contacts using the same technique - asking both paternal and maternal questions. Works for me. That being said, the best resource for going further back in time, and determining my extended haplogroup, came from an assistant project administrator. I found that they are happy to consult with us. With 20 haplogroups and each with their specific subclades, I had no idea which tests to order. With his guidance, I only had to order two SNP test to accomplish this task. A good site is http:// www.isogg.org/tree/ Dale Wyatt

I have taken three different DNA Test.  FTDNA (Family Tree DNA), 23 & Me and DNA Tribes. All taken for different reason.   For finding close relatives take FTDNA. My father was an orphan.  I knew who his Mother was but, the Father was not listed on the birth certificate.  Because I knew he was conceived in Peoria, IL was matched to a 2nd cousin in Peoria through his research we now know his surname.  Now we are trying to figure out which of 4 males is my Grandfather.   23 & Me:  Great for finding out heath stuff you probably inhereted.  Also, gives you a list of close relatives but, the prple do not respond to your email asking for DNA.    DNA Tribes: Great for finding out your distant genes. Breakdown is more precise.  If you think you have Native American this test comes as close as get, does not always list a tribe.  It told me Imatch to someboody in the Lumbee tribe, still trying to find out who that could be.   Hope this helps, Betty "Forget the box, Just Think Outside"

For my part, FTDNA has worked wonders. On my Nichol(s) side, I have discovered that I am related to most people by that surname in Dorchester/Daroline counties; and on my mother's Hutchinson side, I scared up a male first cousin I'd never met, got him to take the cheek swab at my expense, and found a first cousin 4x removed in New Brunswick, Canada--seems my ggg-grandfather on that side had fled New Jersey for Nova Scotia to escape the Patriots, who had killed two of his sons by mob action... Bob Nichol From: Nancy Hamilton Sent: 04/22/13 06:31 PM To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: [LDR] DNA testing My husband and I have done both the Nat'l Geographic Geno DNA testing and FTDNA (Family Tree DNA). They have very different results. The Geno testing takes you back to your real roots....20,000-50,000 years or so ago. This gives you some real insight into where your ancestors migrated after leaving Africa. I found this very interesting as it gives you maps, information and percentages ....even of your Neanderthal heritage. It was equally interesting for both male and female participants but really not much good for genealogy. The FTDNA tests are for much closer in time relationships....good for genealogy. The male testing is much more productive as it goes back generation by generation with the same male name. (son of son of son, etc.) It is easier to see a match this way. The female goes back mother to mother to mother....and since the names change, I found it of little value for gathering any genealogy info on my side. One needs to have at least the 37 marker test...which ! if you match someone 37 out of 37 markers you have a common ancestor about 5-7 generations back. The 67 marker moves the kinship even closer. Of course, the real value is that the more people who test, the more possibilities you have of matching someone. This is the reason I think that you get better results with FTDNA as they have tested the most candidates.....my husband found 3 new cousins which really helped his research. Also, there is a connection between the two companies and there is some sharing of info back and forth. By the way, the testing is very simple....just a swab in your mouth....no blood letting!!!

Mike, I did the BETA DNA test through Ancestry.com and wish now I had not spent the money. The ethnicity was way off for one thing and I have also found that any possible "cousins" are very distant and are only through the surname and/or supposed ethnicity. I did the Deep Migrations DNA testing through National Geographic for both the males in my Chandler family and through the females in my mother's family. Those tests were more in keeping with documentation (through Mom's side). Ancestry and National Geographic coincided very little. I would trust National Geographic's tests more so than Ancestry's - that's just my experience. Teresa A.

I am interested in this test. I'll have to check into this. Like you, Walt, I am disappointed in other researchers who don't want to discuss or share information. This is a deterrent. Lori I am still no closer to proving parts of my line, largely do to the fact that most participants in West group #1 don't bother to communicate and share information. It is as if they thought that all they had to do was swab their cheek, send in the test kit and wait for a fully formed family tree to drop in their laps. Very frustrating. Walt West

Which is in Lynch in Kent County Md, forget the name. It was set up so early that this part of Kent was considered Cecil. We're trying to figure out where it stood. In the early stages of finding deed and possible plat information. Burial ground is still there, on 1/2 acre out oft he original 3 acres so the mysteries are: Where is the old road? Old maps show a double dogleg where the modern Rte 213 is now straight. Where was the building and "grove" in relation to this old road? One map shows it on the north, another on the south. Ironically, there are only a handful of buildings that were ever there. One, an old house called Friendship, was built ca 1770 or earlier and is still standing, and the Quaker lot was granted by the owner, so there may be some records we will find. Does anyone know the whereabouts of a F. Gutekunst photo of it? He was a famous Phila fotog working from about 1850 to 1900. One document refers to this photo. Are his photos archived somewhere? The Turner family had a reunion on the site in 1942. Anyone know any Turners, of the Betterton-Phila Turners, who were alive then and might have attended? The building was torn down about 1932 but its site was supposedly marked by four iron rods. As late as 1942 the grove was open enough for a get together. So. How about aerial photos of kent prior to 1945? The building would only appear before 1930 or so but the outline might be visible. Where are Delmarva aerials catalog used or archived? -- Craig O'Donnell Whack-boing! It's dub! www.thecheappages.com

Cindy: Thanks. I'd previously looked for a way to download my results from AncestryDNA and not found it. Based on your response, I looked again and found instructions for it in the FAQ (I think they were added recently). Remove one of my two issues with AncestryDNA from my prior email. Now if only more people would use it so we'd get more hits.

Jim -- I'm aware of the Vinson/Vincent connections from the 18th Century. Thomas Hearne married Sarah Newbold [daughter of Thomas Newbold, died 1713 Somerset County.] This marriage was before Feb 1712/13 because she was referred to as Sarah wife of Thomas Hearne in his will with that date. Their daughter Esther Hearne married Benjamin Vinson [confirmed in Thomas Hearne's 1762 Will], and one of their children was "Newbold Vinson". I'd be happy to provide you more about Sarah Newbold and her father Thomas Newbold if you wish. But I have little else about Vincents/Vinsons in my files, as I didn't research much beyond noting who the children of Thomas Hearne and Sarah Newbold were. I always presumed the use of the surname "Newbold" was in respect to honoring the family that Esther Hearne came from.

Mike: Yes, I have done the new AncestryDNA test. I submitted it in February and started seeing results in a little over 3 weeks. I'm fairly satisfied that it does in fact find possible relations on the maternal and fraternal sides of your tree for multiple generations. >From the possible relations it has turned up about 40 potential relatives so far. Of those, less than 50% had public trees (I also don't make my tree public), which it needs to give you an automatic tree comparison. For those that do have a public tree, if they have common ancestors with you, it show them. If you have surnames in common in your trees, it will list those common surnames. What I've done with all the ones with private trees, is send them an email with the surnames in my tree back to my 4g grandparents. A few of those have turned responded with a surname they recognize and a little about them, and, through further emails we've shared information on our common ancestry. I have found a few relatives on my father's side of my tree this way, one through my grandfather's, father's, father's, wife's father, and one each through my grandmother's mother's father's line, another through my grandmother's mother's father's line. I've also found a couple through my mother's, mother's line. Unfortunately, I've not yet found any further back in my surname line than my 2g grandfather. My main issues with the AncestryDNA test are there probably aren't enough people taking it to get better results (although I did get someone on Ancestry who shares my surname and via our trees seems to have a common ancestor back at my 6g grandfather to take the test - we're still waiting for his results), and, that I don't see any way to export the results from AncestryDNA so they can be used in one of the open DNA comparison databases. Since I really wanted to focus on that, I took the FTDNA Y12 test which is for the direct male linage only. The results for that didn't turn up enough, so, I'm waiting for them to process and upgrade to the Y37 test. You can get Autosomal testing from Ancestry (currently $99), 23andme.com (also currently $99), or FTDNA.com (on sale now for $169). I didn't hear about 23andme until after doing the other two tests. I have heard people praise it pretty highly, and, may take it eventually, however, for now I'm waiting for my Y37 results from FTDNA and for more people to match on AncestryDNA. I've also noted I have a few matches on AncestryDNA to people who don't have any tree or have only 10-20 people in their tree. I don't understand that. Are they lazy and just hoping for a match so they can copy someone else's tree? Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

Mike -- yes, I did. What I got out of the test was confirmation of my research, to wit: on both my mother's and father's lines going back to the 18th century, my roots all seemed to be German or UK [English and Irish]. The results were "British Isles"; "Central European"; and "Scandinavian" -- the latter not a surprise since Vikings pretty much "visited" the British Isles and Europe for centuries. What was also of interest was the lack of anything else --- dispelling, for instance, certain verbal "traditions" amongst some that there was inter-marriage with Native Americans. If that had happened -- presume markers for that would have shown up, or at least shown to be "unidentified". I had none. I'm not trying to use the results to find relatives.

Hi, Mike, I did one of the Ancestry DNA kits. It was pretty easy to use, but, of course, unless everyone does them, you'll probably never get the results you are looking for. I think my Lee line went back something like 18 generations before there was anything connecting. But it is better if one of the males in each generation takes the tests instead of the females (so as not to dilute the line). As if......... I took the test and my dad took the test, but it was impossible to go back any further in my immediate family. But, on the other hand, maybe you'll find good results as I have read some that did at least show a connection or didn't show a connection between certain family names (my husband took the test and it showed that an internet cousin was not from the same family line. Again, it all depends on how many people in the family line would actually send in their DNA.

The cost presently is $99, and like I said, Im curious of my ancestry prior to where my research has led me. Thanks for your input.

The results were "British Isles"; "Central European"; and "Scandinavian" -- the latter not a surprise since Vikings pretty much "visited" the British Isles and Europe for centuries. What was also of interest was the lack of anything else --- dispelling, for instance, certain verbal "traditions" amongst some that there was inter-marriage with Native Americans.  If that had happened -- presume markers for that would have shown up, or at least shown to be "unidentified".  I had none. I'm not trying to use the results to find relatives.  And I have not tried any other DNA test. Was easy...not too costly...and informative.  Key is to take it for what it's worth --- another data point in your research.  Cree Newbold -----Original Message----- From: lower-delmarva-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lower-delmarva-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of -Mike- Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2013 4:30 PM To: Lower Delmarva Subject: [LDR] ancestry dna test Has anyone on the list purchased the Ancestry DNA kit? Just curious how satisfied you were with your results, etc. Anyone have knowledge of DNA testing? Some info below from their 'Facts' page... Thanks Mike It’s more comprehensive. Unlike the Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA test, AncestryDNA uses an autosomal DNA test that surveys a person’s entire genome at over 700,000 locations. It covers both the maternal and paternal sides of the family tree, so it covers all lineages. The test is gender neutral. Both men and women can take the AncestryDNA test and are tested in the same way for the same number of markers providing the same level of detail in the results. What does ‘autosomal’ DNA testing mean? Autosomal DNA testing includes the other 22 pairs of chromosomes that aren’t the X or Y chromosome that determine your gender. Autosomal testing allows you to find family across all lines in your family tree. That means both men and women can take the test, and the results are not limited to just the direct maternal or paternal lines. The AncestryDNA test analyzes your entire genome—all 23 pairs of chromosomes—as opposed to only looking at the Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA (which makes other types of tests gender specific). Your autosomal chromosomes carry genetic information from both your parents that’s passed down through the generations Using autosomal testing, AncestryDNA surveys over 700,000 locations in your DNA, all with a simple saliva sample. http://dna.ancestry.com/ http://ldna.ancestry.com/atFAQ.aspx#about-1 *************************************** QUESTIONS about POSTING GUIDELINES, SUBSCRIBING or UNSUBSCRIBING?
