I just signed up for the FamilyTree DNA and am starting to get back some test results. It's a tad bit confusing but interesting. I was wondering if any people on this list have done it; and if so, I'd be interest in your experiences. I have done both the Y (which is the male line - not from Hunterdon) and the mitochondrial (which is the female line which came through Hunterdon). My furthest known maternal ancestor (by which I mean, the female line all the way up) would be the wife of the German immigrant Peter Young. Anyone out there match? I see that on a website where I submitted my genetic info that I match with 2 others with Youngs from Hunterdon. --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?

The DNA for my Hoffmans, who are from Virginia and not Hunterdon County, indicates that I'm probably not related to any other Hoffmans in the area where they lived. Instead of concentrating on a male Hoffman, I think I need to focus more on female Hoffmans. My thinking is that my first Hoffman (b. c. 1804) was born out of wedlock and the genetic material of another surname has been passed down. I belong to haploid group G, which I've not seen in any others of my surname. Of course, I'd love to see what the Hunterdon Co Hoffman lines are like. At this point, everything is in the realm of the possible. Incidentally, I'm descended as well from Peter Young (Jung) but have, as yet, done virtually nothing with this line.
