Where can I access your Maxwell connection through GA into MS in the late 1700s? I'm bumping a stone wall in finding my grandfather in Alabama in the late 1800's and maybe I can find a clue. Thanks for any help.

James, What I have is at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jayken/hollingsworth/myline/name_m.htm#MAXWEL L which is information researched and provided by friend and cousin Dr. Harold Graham, long-time Hollingsworth (and other lines) researcher. He might even be on this list, and can help me identify our line better. You here Harold? Ken Hollingsworth ----- Original Message ----- From: "James A.

Hi Maxwell Listmembers, As of now, the list is open for discussion as normal. I have just talked (telephone) to Don Maxwell, and we are both in agreement to follow the Rootsweb.com AUP of no mention of money. I am sure that Don's fist mail yesterday that did mention money was due to ignorance of the AUP, as some others are as well. I've had mail asking what it is, where it is, etc. I am further convinced that Don's intentions were not to break the AUP, had he known about it. Since most of us are in agreement to this, I will state here, that anyone who sends inflamatory, argumentative mail that comes across the list on this subject, will be put on the 'reject list', where you can get email, but not post. Flame me privately if you must - I'm used to it, and the delete key works real good. To those who requested that I deny the discussion of DNA at all, please give it a chance to see what develops. After talking to Don, I'm convinced that the intent isn't to replace what we know as the papertrails we strive to prove, but to offer yet another tool to tell you where the papertrails should be. I have also offered to Don, and as I understood it, he agreed, that should the complaints become too much, we would look into yet another list for the DNA discussion. If you try to contact Don, he was having connection problems, so might not be able to correspond in a timely manner. Hopefully (by now?) he has that straightened out. By the way, the AUP is listed at: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/aup.html Have fun, and find my Maxwell connection through GA into MS in the late 1700s... Ken Hollingsworth

Hi Maxwell Listers, Just an update to keep you all informed and to answer a few questions that have come in today regarding the list activities (or lack thereof), my interpretation of the AUP, and a possible compromise. First - I would like to commend you folks for being one of the best lists I run. You should all take a bow. Some have been with me since I formed the list back in 1996 on the now-defunct listserver, Dsenter.com. Rootsweb.com, as some of you will recall, welcomed us to their server at a time we really needed a home. Dsenter was on the verge of going out of business, and eventually did. Your numbers are now between 250-300 members between the List and Digest subscribers. You are generally a very amicable group of people who share a common interest, and seem to be eager to help your fellow researchers try to sort out what must be a very hard line to research. I'm sure something such as DNA would really help in doing so. I personally would enjoy some discussion about DNA studies, as it relates to the genealogy of the Maxwell line, and see no reason such discussion cannot take place on this forum. However, we must make an honest attempt to keep the playing-field level. This relatively new (to most of us) internet allows anyone, regardless of who you are or what you are, to participate if you have a modem and an ISP. Just as important as keeping within the AUP, I feel it's just as necessary to NOT dis-associate someone (anyone) of our fellow members who may not be able to afford such a program, regardless of whether it's at-cost or half-cost or whatever. To some the amount advertised isn't enough for concern - but - to some it is a giant leap, and puts them out of the realm of discussion, not to mention, embarrasses them, which I'm sure none of you would want to do. What I would propose, is, first, to open the list again - and continue the discussion, without the mention of any charges, or exchange of money, in following with the AUP. I would see no problem with offering links to sites as suggestions, and commenting something like "check out xyz site for their charges. Let's also agree that to share any results from the DNA testing with the list, would be acceptable. But, again I stress, no mention of charges. I'm sorry, that part is not negotiable. It's one of the AUP items, and as you can read on the link I offered, Rootsweb.com tells you that if you cannot abide by them, then perhaps you shouldn't participate in a Rootsweb list - and even offers a link to other servers that may (or not) have less stringent AUP rules where you can form your own list. How clear can it be? Now - answers to some questions I've received, either directly or addressed to the list. You will readily recognize the answer if it fits your question... No - no traffic to the list today - genealogically speaking that is - only argumentative statements concerning this 'incident'. As to my interpretation being off-center and not following the 'spirit of the AUP' - I'm probably not the sharpest ax in the shed, but I read real good, and am also pretty good at interpreting what I read. To those who argue that this forum is, in deed, a place for this discussion - I agree - see above. To those who wrote to thank me - you're welcome - it's my job.... Let me know if you think this is workable, and we'll get it going again. If not - offer your own solution. Ken Hollingsworth

What rules?

I agree 100%, the whole object of a Maxwell Genealogy site is to help us all connect with each other and our distant relatives. If it ain't on paper somewhere you ain't going to find it. With modern technology and our every changing world, DNA might be the only way. I'm down from Rev. Thomas Maxwell and Mary Pemberton, other than what's in the Middlesex Christ Church Registry, I've fell to get any further back. I've searched and searched, talked with hundreds of Maxwell's in my line, yet no one has any thing further back down the line. It's now time to get modern and connect the Maxwell's the 2002 way. My vote is lets try something new, what do we have to lose. I'm still requesting people send me a copy of their files, to log in to the computer to help cross reference the various Maxwell Lines.

I wanted to post a simplified summary of the DNA study goals with a few caveats: 1.A considerable amount of money has been donated to get the study started. 2.We would prefer 2 samples per line(from distant cousins proven genealogically). This will avoid a mutation or a "non-paternal event" from being established as the standard for a certain line. 3.Find and obtain samples from nonrepresented (ie new)lines. 4. Obtain upgraded tests ("refinement from 12 loci to 25 loci")supported and paid for by members of a clan/family already sampled in the "core group".The orginal sample can be utilized. 5. Need participation (ie sponsorship, group donations,toward more sophisticated tests {see #2 and #4 above}) from Maxwell descendents, without the Maxwell surname, as they will be the largest available contact group and will also benefit from the data compiled from the DNA studies. Again the administrators do not benefit monitarily from this study and orgainized it in an attempt to link previously unrecognized clans in to "related families".

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Wilmer "Max" Maxwell and I (Don Maxwell ) are putting together a MAXWELL FAMILY DNA project , acting as the group co-administrators. The TEMPORARY webpage for this project is: http://hometown.aol.com/dnamaxwell/myhomepage/index.html and (as alternate) http://www.geocities.com/ragswell/finaldna.htm Here is some basic information about the Maxwell DNA study: We have already established (ie obtained samples from) a core group of approximately 12-14 living male Maxwell descendants (LMMD). These individuals were carefully chosen based on the the following: 1. availability and willingness of a LMMD to participate. 2. "probable" relationships to early (colonial and Rev War era) Maxwell clans based on standard genealogical techniques. 3. LMMD in Maxwell lines already thoroughly studied thru standard techniques and currently at a "brickwall". 4. Those lines with "proposed but unproven" relationships to other known Maxwell lines.

General background information There are about 200 such family studies currently in progress. We chose the paternal lineage study because ......the Y chromosome is passed unchanged from father to son, generation after generation (ie a son can only get Y chromosomal genes from the father...mutations occur only every 40 generations or so).....you can see why this would allow distant cousins to compare genes and prove a common ancestor! Depending on how sophisticated test you run you can predict 50% chance of linking to a MRCA ("most recent common ancestor") at 6-7 generations. Maternal lineage tests are available (mitochondrial DNA), but they test for a "anthropologic pattern" (ie nonspecific family origins). Y chromosomal studies test for a "specific family" relationship. To participate: you will need a living male MAXWELL(s) to provide a sample....hopefully you, your son, an uncle, father or male Maxwell cousin will be willing? The testing doesnt prove exact relationships (theoretically it will be able to in the future but not yet), but does prove or disprove a close family relationship. Therefore those of us stuck at a "brick wall" genealogically MAY be able to identify other common lines and therefore focus our research on a "closely related line" as a "back door" to ID the father of the "brick wall" .... and hopefully link to other known Maxwell lines.We hope there will be some "surprise results" which will help us focus on specific closely related lines previously unknown thus opening a "backdoor" connection to common lines in Ireland/Scotland! Family Tree DNA of Houston, Texas We chose the company, Family Tree DNA to do the DNA processing. Family Tree DNA's webpage is: http://www.familytreedna.com/ and family reconstruction projects: http://www.familytreedna.com/family_reconstruction.html There is normally a $149.00 fee for the test (other companies' fees range from $123-$237). If you wish to participate in the Maxwell family study you will receive a discounted rate of $99.00 plus $4.00 s&h. To receive this discount you must order your collection kit thru the Maxwell DNA Study website: http://hometown.aol.com/dnamaxwell/myhomepage/index.html or (alternate) http://www.geocities.com/ragswell/finaldna.htm We will request that a collection kit to be mailed to you. We will also need your address and your genealogically documented line (oldest 4 generations) back to your oldest known Maxwell ancestor. The sample is simple to obtain ...you rub a Qtip on the inside of your mouth (at home) and mail it back to the company....test results take about 5 to 7 weeks!!! Privacy Concerns If you have concerns about providing DNA you can read the article pasted below. Remember: you control the release of all information, we hope you will sign the Family Tree DNA release so they can notify you by email of any future common ancestors (they will not release your name or identity to anyone you do not approve). You would be providing such a small sample, there would be no way for a unscrupulous person or anyone whom you did not release your results to, to identify you specifically. GENETIC GENEALOGY CONCERNS. By Kristen Knight of Ancestry.com. I can understand the worries of the individuals who responded to the Genetic Genealogy information. I had similar concerns when I first heard about genetic testing for genealogical purposes. So I did my homework and found, to my relief, that I had nothing to worry about concerning genealogical DNA testing and privacy with Ancestry.com. First and foremost, Ancestry.com is meticulous at protecting customer data, including DNA analysis. It does not share personally identifiable data with anyone, including the U.S. government, or the LDS Church. The only way this data would be shared is if the user requests it. .......Secondly, the DNA tests themselves protect the customer from any possible misuse by insurance companies or other entities. The Ancestry GenWeb DNA tests do not analyze, nor do they provide a report, on the entire DNA strand, but rather these tests only look at specific markers. These markers provide no health-related data. The markers analyzed do not actually create proteins, or "do" anything in the body. They are rather markers that simply "sit" in the DNA, and are passed on from generation to generation with little variance, making them ideal for assessing common ancestry between individuals. Even if another individual were to access this information (through a means other than Ancestry.com), it would tell them nothing that would have anything to do with the health, ability, IQ, hair color, or other attributes of the individual tested. As others learn of the characteristics of this kind of testing, it is hoped that they will begin to see the power of genetic testing to help solve even difficult genealogical questions. Many customers have been able to verify their research through Genetic Genealogy. Others have been able to get past a previously dead-end paper trail. For many family historians Genetic Genealogy has given them answers that have saved countless hours and a lot of money. For information on using DNA testing to aid genealogical research see: http://www.ancestry.com/genetics/main.htm If you visit our website you will see that we will protect your privacy by posting only the 4 oldest generations of Maxwells along side their migration pattern and the 12 -25 loci (numbers) for your specific Y chromosome (ie we do not post your name). I know this is alot to absorb...so please feel free to visit our webpage and review the links, especially the the FAQ (frequently answered questions). Please feel free to contact either one of us if you have any further questions! I hope you find this idea as new and exciting as we do. Hopefully this will give some of the needed "jumpstart" we need for those of us with dead end lines! Thank you so much for your consideration. Sincerely, Don Maxwell Wilmer "Max" Maxwell Maxwell Family DNA Study Co-Administrators _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Larry, I descend from a Thomas Maxwell thru his dau Martha who married John Stanford Sr. Does this connect with any of yours? Ellen (Craig) Lacey

Larry I have documentation/records on the Henry Maxwell m. Agness Carson line. Seven sons/48 grandchildren proven plus other generations if you do not have this. THese have been published on this list. And, I have corrected a lot of mistakes made early on about this family.
