Hi Wilson I am sure that if you will send a note to the people at the Grand Banks Site, they will be glad to check that out for you. They are the ones who have a full set of the census pages and can send you a copy of those families if you would like.

Hi Judy here are a few of the web sites I use for DNA info, some of them are family sites but still have explanations of the DNA origins and identification process. http://www.kerchner.com/dna-information.htm http://www.mun.ca/biology/scarr/Daughters_of_Eve_in_Newfoundland.html https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html http://blairgenealogy.com/dna/dna101.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ISOGG/ http://www.dnaftb.org/dnaftb/ http://www.answers.com/topic/the-seven-daughters-of-eve http://www.duerinck.com/genetic.html There are obviously many many more.

Hi Judy, good question. I've posted it to the forum so others might benefit as well. I personnaly haven't had my DNA run yet but from my research, most of the Costellos and Corbetts I've seen from Ireland are in the Rb1 or R1b1 haplogroup. For example, see the Corbett Project at Family Tree http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/c/corbett/results.html The various numbers you refer to (DYS 314, etc.) are genetic marker names. Specifically, they are different microsatellite loci on the Y chromosome (the one that determines whether you are male or female). Microsatellites are bits of DNA that have the same short sequence repeated a number of times in a row. The number you get with your results is the number of repeats. Let's make up a marker... well call it DSY001 Allan CATCATCATCATCATCATCATCAT Judy CATCATCATCATCATCATCATCATCATCATCATCAT RESULTS Allan DSY001 8 Judy DSY001 12 ... here the CAT motif is repeated 8 times in a row for me and 12 times for you, so we get different results at the marker. The key with these microsatellites is that some are very variable among families (others only variable among major groups) so that when you run enough markers (37 seems to be the standard number now for high-resolution results) you are able to pinpoint your genetic affinities, BUT only if related families have submitted their DNA for comparison. Microsatellites don't code for anything and are not associated with things such as hair or eye color... think of them as filler between the genes that do code for your traits. Hope it helps...

Matt, My grandfathers name was James McCabe from Clarkes Beach, Newfoundland, he married Jane Edmunds from Roaches Line. His fathers name was Patrick McCabe, I believe his wife's name was Bridget Power from Cupids. I do know that Patrick died when James was about 2 or 3 years old. James was born Nov.5, 1900 and that he had no sibilings. I can't find any information on Patrick McCabe. Barb [email protected]

Hi Allan I have a Maria Gorman in my tree and have not be able to find her birth or parents or much else. Here is what I have on her and her husband. I would appreciate it if you see anything on her to let me know. Cheers, Dan. John Breen was born 14 Aug 1805 in St. John's, NF. Sponsors were Laurence Kitty/Bridget Fitzgerald. 7 Feb 1829 John Breen and Maria Gorman were baptised in St. John's, Newfoundland, in the Roman Catholic Basilica of St. John the Baptist by Bishop M.A. Fleming. Sponsors were James Kennedy and Catherine Breen. They were both adults. I was not able to find the marriage record for John Breen and Maria Gorman. They had children up to 1852. Maria was listed as a widow as early as 1864. So he would have died between 1852 and 1864. I was not able to find the birth record for Maria Gorman. However, Paul Doherty found a death record that we believe to be our Maria. It stated: "Maria Breen, died 29th May 1908. Age 97. Place of residence was Signal Hill Road. Funeral from St. Mary's Church to Forest Road Cemetery. Service performed by Rev. Mosdell". A check with the cemetery records revealed that there was no headstone. Maria was 97 at the time of her death so she would have been born in 1811. She was living on George Street up until 1897-98 with her son and grandson. The 1904 Directory for St. John's showed two families of FARRELLs living on Signal Hill Road. These families could have been descendents of GGGGrandmother Mary Breen whose maiden name was FARRELL. Maria may have gone to live with them when she got older and couldn't care for herself. Uncle Frank said that a Bert Gorman lived near him on Stephen Street. Bert Gorman told him that they were cousins. Frank objected because Bert was a Protestant. Bert had a son Bert and a daughter Ella. Ella married a John Ryan. Frank tells a story about a Gorman woman who was a housekeeper at the Government House while Governor LaMarchand lived there.

Hi, I had my DNA test done by the National Geographic Genome project. The output from this is a report that shows the historic path of your DNA. The purpose of the project is to map the DNA across the world. The project is collecting samples from all the indigenous peoples and samples from the world population. Once the test is done you have an option to have your DNA results uploaded to Family Tree DNA (no charge for this). At this site they match it to all the other DNA in their database, they also have family groups that you can subscribe to. They send you an email everytime they have a new DNA input that matches yours I found it to be a good site. Ed Barbour ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allan B.

Hi, Because I had an address for my grandparents, I was able to find out that they were paying taxes, first in my grandfather's name and after his death, my grandmother was paying it. This was from City Hall. They had a lot of old records. Also, at the library of the Univ. there is a wealth of info on Newfoundland. I also found my grandfather's death notice even though it was a small notice on micro film. I live in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. Hope this helps some.

Judy, I am so sorry that you have been disappointed, and that you feel that the DNA test was not [yet] worthwhile. In isolation, a DNA result is (as you realise) of little value. The results really take on meaning when compared with other people. Since 2004 I've been voluntarily coordinating a DNA project for the Pike family, so that we might be able to use genetic analysis to help distinguish between different family lines, and also to discover which family lines are connected to each other. We now have over 50 people involved, from 4 different continents, and have discovered that there are at least 19 genetically distinct Pike family lines. Of interest to the readers of this list will be that we so far have only 4 Nfld Pikes involved, each with roots from Carbonear, and these 4 have been shown to be related ... we're actually quite excited about this since for some of us we cannot find written records to show that we are related. Also of interest is that we have not yet found any Pikes elsewhere who genetically match the Carbonear crowd... my hope is that we will make a connection someday, as that may help shed some light on the origins of the Pikes of Carbonear. I'm also hoping that we'll get more Nfld & Lab Pikes involved, such as those from the Burin Peninsula, from Old Perlican, Red Bay, etc, so that we can find out if we are all one big Pike family, or if there are multiple Pike family lines [my personal suspicion is that Nfld is home to multiple Pike family lines]. Anybody interested in the Pike family can find our DNA project (plus lots of other Pike information) on my website at http://www.math.mun.ca/~dapike/family_history/ Judy, if your brother is a Corbett, then if you go to http://www.worldfamilies.net/ you will find that there is a DNA project for the Corbett family. I would recommend that you try to get involved, as that's the best place to be comparing your DNA with other Corbetts. You might also consider entering your brother's DNA markers into the public database at http://www.ysearch.org as this is another way that you might find genetic matches (especially with people of differing surnames). You can also search for genetic matches at http://www.smgf.org For other folks who are contemplating getting involved with genetic genealogy, I have a number of recommendations. The first is to get involved with the International Society of Genetic Genealogy. It is free, has a number resources online at http://www.isogg.org but especially has a wonderful mailing list/forum (plus more resources and links) at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DNA-NEWBIE/ For those wanting to trace their direct paternal line, seek out a project for the corresponding surname. There are a number of companies out there that do genetic testing for genealogists, and if your surname has a project with one of them, then it might be difficult to compare your DNA results if you test with a different company. A few places where you can search for surname-based DNA projects are: http://www.worldfamilies.net/ http://www.familytreedna.com/ http://dnaheritage.com/ If your surname has no project, then it's worth noting that several of these entities also provide some assistance with creating one (that is, if you're willing to take on the task of coordinating one)... you might also be interested in checking out this list/forum http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ISOGG/ which often discusses issues of interest to project coordinators. Be aware that there are a number of other companies that are happy to take your money and provide you with DNA results, but as I said earlier, unless you will be able to compare those results with other people then there really is little value to be had. Some companies are really good about telling you who match with, while others are not; which you test with will likely impact on how you feel about your experience with genetic genealogy. Changing topics slightly now, from paternal ancestry (and Y-DNA) to maternal ancestry (and mtDNA), I would like to also take a brief moment to announce that a Newfoundland and Labrador mtDNA Project has been recently established.

To David and anyone else that might have information. After reading your email, I did a web search and came across the following website. Do you have any experience or way of know if this is something that would be worthwhile to participate in? pages.sbcglobal.net/jimsims/sims/sims-Y-project/SimsSignatures-elsewhere.htm It was found at the following website, http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=J87323&special=True&projecttype=S -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Sat, 11 Nov 2006 11:17 AM Subject: Re: [NFLD-LAB] DNA primer Dear David, Many thanks for the leads in this DNA project. I guess I should have started on another site but I had an ad online from Genebase.com and they are of no help once you pay the $118. When I went to FamilyTree, they would not accept this DNA and wanted me to retest for $150. So I was dismayed. I felt as though I was an isolated case CORBETT DNA in hopes of finding links. Doing the genealogy/family tree is one thing, but finding genetic matches must be thrilling.
