As the list is aware, I e-mailed about my mtDNA which went back to the early Youngs of Hunterdon County. Interestingly, I have not investigated the Young family in any amount of detail. When I started genealogy. I was happy to get as many lines back to the Revolution, and followed a few lines further. So what I on the Young family is not much... I followed one family line to John Hoffman , whose wife was Elizabeth Young. Unfortunately I do not have the source for her father. I have his (Peter Young's) dates b.abt 1727-1796. To David Hoffman who responded, small world isn't it - we both have Youngs and Hoffmans in our lines One person that I had a DNA match for responded to my e-mail and stated that she was a first generation citizen and her mother was from the Berlin region of Germany. Another genetic match e-mailed me back that they descend from Sophia Young, b. 1757. Her daughter emmigrated to Canada, and the family has resided their since. So, this mtDNA testing has confirmed my research, and confirmed the obvious that Peter Young was from Germany.
