Joan, I have DNA Myers my Mother was a Myers. I asked to go in the FTDNA MTDNA Group I have given the kits numbers to all my DNA places. Just to see who I would link up to. I sort of didn't get in for some reason. Really I not sure how the administrators verify anyone in that group. But for anyone wanting to check out to see if we connect. My Gedmatch kits A605848 and M012301, my FTDNA kit is B25630. It sure would be nice to find out where this Myers family DNA wise goes back to. But it seems like it dead ends. I have serious questions about my Myers as far as stories ect. It hard to tell where it leads. If anyone matches my kits please let me know where this line does go back too love to know. Paperwise I can take my Myers in Craig VA and WV. I heard many stories on family.

Joan, Oh, I wish we could connect on the Myers, which is on my father’s side. About 2 years ago, I asked my brother to do the YDna and he did, which I’m very thankful, as he passed away this year. I have 2 cousin who also had their brother do the YDna and one of those cousins also did the Autosomal with Ancestry and FamilyTree Dna, as I did also. We have our Myers back to VA, early 1800, our brick wall. Jennie > On Jul 8, 2016, at 9:13 AM, Bobbyjo465 via <[email protected]> wrote: > > Joan, > I have DNA Myers my Mother was a Myers.
