Anybody working on HENDRICKS? Dee ----- Original Message ----- From: Herbert Hendricks To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 9:35 AM Subject: Thanks for Jerome Thanks for your sharing. I forgot to tell you that I am the Secretary of the Hendricks Family Association. When I talk about sorting out Hendricks I speak of sorting out before 1800. We're the Group that sponsored the Frontier Hendricks, the Pamunkey (Virginia) Hendrick and the Albemarle (NC) Hendricks research efforts (about 17 years of research on these topics). I'm a native South Carolinian and we have a number of Hendricks projects for SC. In SC before 1800 we have approximately 15 different sets (located in different counties of the state) of Hendricks. Of course there are some commonality in about four of these groups with others. Afterwards it become fuzzy fast. We kind of have the Virginia Hendricks sorted out., mostly 1) Hance Hendrick and 2) Frontier Hendricks it seems at the present with some pockets here and there not well quantified. The North Carolina Hendricks are partially sorted out to date into four groups; 1) Frontier Hendricks, 2) Albemarle Hendricks, 3) 1720 NJ John Hendricks descendants, and 4) Virginia Hendricks. Been trying to get some NC resident to work on this but none so far. I'm also the Group Administrator of the Hendricks(on) DNA Project. We have only been working on this since 9/2004 and currently have 39 DNA participants and 2 more committed. We have identified the DNA profile for the Frontier Hendricks and two major groups in SC that for some reason seem to have no connection yet elsewhere. We have one tested and two being tested of the Pamunkey (VA) Hendrick group but not quantified and proven yet. We have one tested and two others being tested from the Albemarle (NC) Hendricks group. Hopefully these two groups will end up with a proven DNA profile. What is interesting is that the Haplotypes are not turning out to be what a lot of people thought. A Haplotype tells you where in the world your family originated from. It seems a lot of these Hendricks are Nordic, from Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden instead of Western Europe, British Isles, Netherlands, Belgium, France,, etc. Anyway what I try to do is help find paths to family. We have one Daniel Hendrick of MA m 1642 Dorothy Pike DNA participant who matches to 4 others (first 12 markers only) who only have their lineage back about 3-4 generations. The whole group is Nordic but not enough evidence yet to prove they have a common DNA profile back to Daniel Hendrick of MA. Just a little bit to let you know where I am coming from. If you're really in to Hendrick/s let me know and I'll send you a copy of our 3 Free CDs we offer to Hendricks DNA participants. Thanks for your time and help. God Bless.
