DO you recommend a particular lab for the DNA. Family tree - or DNA heritage?? I am finally going to do this. Monty Newton (John Newton of Lunenburg County Virginia - 1750-1799 - node T). Monty Newton, P.G. Technical Coordinator Site Remediation >>> Gregg Bonner <greggbonner@yahoo.com> 6/6/2007 5:08 AM >>> Hi Folks, Recently we got a second sample tested from John Newton (23 Jan 1772 - 14 Oct 1847) of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. It agreed with the first sample, and the new participant descends from a different son of John than the existing participant which means that the assignment of DNA type should be robust. So now we can add this John Newton (1772-1847) to the list of NEWTON men for which we have a klind of "DNA litmus test" for. In the future, anyone with unknown heritage my use this assignment and a DNA test for themselves to see if they have descent from this family. Moreover, perhaps, is that since the DNA type is known, it makes a solid baseline by which to compare other groups which may come along. Interestingly, the DNA matches another sample in our NEWTON group who descends from William Field Newton, whose ancestry traces (according to some) back to George Newton of Norfolk, Virginia. It may be that this Virginia line gave rise to this Pennsylvania line. My opinion is that this is an unusual migration pattern, given the counties involved. But since it would have been immediately pre-revolution...well, there were a lot of things going on. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/newtondna/ Best, Gregg Bonner NEWTON Surname DNA Project Group Administrator --------------------------------- Luggage?

Monty, Personally I would recommend DNA Family Tree. It is growing quite nice.

Hi Monty (and other interested readers),   I recommend FamilyTreeDNA, because most of the participants have tested through them, and therefore the searchable database would be largest if you tested with them. With another testing company, you would have to search the results longhand, rather than just using the premade search utility.   I will be glad to have you aboard!   Best,   Gregg --- On Fri, 10/17/08, Monty Newton <monty.newton@rrc.state.tx.us> wrote: From: Monty Newton <monty.newton@rrc.state.tx.us> Subject: Re: [NEWTON] DNA Project: Vol. 38: Lawrence County, Pennsylvania DNA type confirmed To: newton@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, October 17, 2008, 10:41 AM DO you recommend a particular lab for the DNA.
