Hello everyone, I forgot who started this, but good for you and thanks to Jan for the additional suggestion of a "roll call" and reminder! Very cool. I have a huge, long list of Swiss Italians who settled in Marin and Sonoma, including Filippini, Dado, Gambonini, etc. I am also researching my husband's family, Moore from Nova Scotia to Marin and Alameda, and the surnames Woods and Marshall. I think it was around 1998 or so when I stumbled on this list, which was very active back then. I was a complete and total newbie, and lurked without knowing that was a word or really an option. (I didn't even know how to use 'reply' yet!) I learned almost all of my 'netiquette' from this list, which included some reprimands from Yvonne :) and have had a blast with many of you over the years bouncing thoughts around and sharing ideas. Thanks to all. Susan ________________________________
So glad to be reading from other NORCALERS again. I moved to the Deep South (Alabama) in 1963 in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement. My ancestor was a gold miner in the Gold Rush and came to California in 1849. Married my gr-grandmother in Nevada City. I have their marriage license. Still have family in Roseville and look forward to visiting California (Tahoe) in June.

My goodness, Margie, thanks for explaining all that. I have a Fuller line, and got bogged down bigtime on that one. Lots of lines there. May I ask what they charged for the testing? Donna 1 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margie" <twigsnbranches@earthlink.net> To: djsmith4927@comcast.net, norcal@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2014 1:00:31 PM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] Beyond your brick wall Donna: I presume you are asking about DNA testing for genealogy research? This is just an example. Contact me directly and I will give you more specifics. Well, in the 1960s, I was stuck with researching my John Cobb who came to CA in the early 1850s. I thought this would be my easiest family to research since we 'knew' a lot about him from family stories AND we had his biography published in the 1880 Napa and Lake County History book. A piece of cake I thought. Well, on digging into this history a bit, we realized that neither of his parents nor his siblings were named in that history, none of their family history was included and some of the dates did not match what we found in our research. My grandfather, Edward Burnham Hinton (his mother was Mary H. O. Cobb - daughter of John and Esther Deming Cobb) was born on the Cobb ranch in Lake County where he was raised by his grandparents, John and Esther Cobb. He did not pass down that vital information about the Cobb family and it is probable that he never asked the question. Following the Cobb family migration trail back to Henry County Kentucky where John said he was born in 1814, I found, through Genweb mail lists, that one of John's three sisters was named Mary. So far so good. Fortunately, the descendant of this sister of John was also a genealogy researcher. It ONLY took both of us over 15 years to piece together the early story of the Cobb children, the names of another sister and their parents. About this time, I found the Cobb/Cobbs website and the gathering of Cobb DNA testing being done through the generosity of the mother of one of the Cobbs who also did not know from which family he descended. This may be getting a bit convoluted, but it is how we unraveled this mystery. Knowing which group of Cobbs from among the 9 we found in these tests, we could determine which Cobb family from which we descend. This was needed to know our direction to focus our research. I contacted one of our Cobb relatives who graciously dontated his DNA for this family history test.

Knowing which group of Cobbs from among the 9 we found in these tests, we could determine which Cobb family from which we descend. This was needed to know our direction to focus our research. I contacted one of our Cobb relatives who graciously dontated his DNA for this family history test. The part of the DNA used in family history is not the part used by the forensic detectives to find people as seen on TV programs, what is used is considered 'junk DNA' and this junk DNA looks into the past family members by using 'markers' with numbers. You can learn more about this on a generic DNA site www.worldfamilies.org . If I had this site early on, it would have saved me years of research. We now had OUR Cobb DNA and by comparing the markers and numbers, we learned we matched (with what is now considered to be a preliminary test of 12 markers - now, genealogists are using a minimum of 37 or more markers for comparison) the group of similar marker/numbers to the Ambrose Cobbs family who moved into York, Virginia in the early 1600s. This narrowed down our search greatly since there are at least 9 known DNA groups, each with different markers/numbers. Knowing which family group to research is VERY helpful. DNA testing is gender specific - meaning that MY DNA cannot be used for this determination as MY DNA goes from me back in time through my female lines while my cousin's male DNA goes back in time through the father-son direct line. A lady from Indiana found both of us on a mail list and she told us that John's mother was HER relative - we still had no father's name but census records gave us two Cobb names to go on, two Cobb men sailed down the Ohio River from Virginia to Kentucky/Indiana - but which one was our Cobb 'father?.' We (several of us) are continuing to search for the generations between 1600s and 1814. We have found the name of John's parents and one of his uncles, and we are still researching for earlier generations - most of the Cobb families we contact claim no knowledge of our William and Thomas Cobb who are the father and uncle of my John. We know that John claimed his father was born in Virginia - this from a later census. Well folks, Virginia, at that time was Augusta County, VA went from the east coast to the Mississippi river - until shortly before John was born - an easy area to research? At least, with the DNA testing, our research area was narrowed. We have a similar problem with my Hinton family line. We can trace our direct family line, with certainty, back to George Henton in PA (records find he was purchasing land in 1717 and he is mentioned in the James Boone history of the 1700s as sailing from Bristol, England to Philadelphia with their family in 1717 - so far so good. Then comes a big controversy among Boone historians who disclaim this as fact. I will not go into the controversy as that only detracts from what I am finding as 'truth' - proof by using actual records. I learned that one of my male cousins - descendant through a son of my George Henton - had his DNA tested. By using his DNA markers/numbers, we can now pinpoint which of the Hinton/Henton families that George is genetically related by matching the marker/numbers. This narrows the research from among several/many Hinton and Henton families of England. So, in a quick nutshell, the comparison of DNA markers and their corresponding numbers are most helpful in narrowing your research to the correct family line. Just don't get bogged down with all the 'way back in time' information that these sites love to tell you - how many thousand of years your family can be 'traced' to which part of the world. That isn't what you are needing to know - at this time - to find your nearer relatives. Sorry if this seems long, but DNA testing is not well understood.

Margie, can you explain that more? Thanks, donna 1 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margie" <twigsnbranches@earthlink.net> To: norcal@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2014 10:09:06 AM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] Is anybody there Well, well, well, Leave it to Roland to wake everyone up out of the doldrums. It is so good to know you are all still there - good to see everyone's names again. I have about completed research on my California names and have moved back in time to the East Coast from the 1600s to 1700 and to England and France before that with some missing generations still to find. DNA testing has been most helpful in directing my research to the correct family rather than doing it shotgun style. As a female, my DNA isn't of help on my direct family name line, but if anyone is interested, I found an intermediary website to look at - FamilyTree DNA and AncestryDNA won't let you look at the markers/numbers for comparison unless you submit a test sample and mine doesn't work here.

We left Santa Clara before I could spell so I've never really known anything about the actual school's name. The only school picture I have from school days with the school's name on it was Centenniel Elementary in Little Rock, Arkansas. After kindergarten and first grade, I went to about seven schools for a year or less. EdrieAnne...thanks, I'll remember Haman. We had a house on Murgia, the first house my parents owned. > >
My Phillip Jacob Bastian was born near Philadelphia and was sent out to Tioga and Lycoming as a teenager to fight Indians supported by the British in the American Revolution. I descend from his son, Benjamin who died very young in 1828, leaving three small children who were raised by Jacob, Benjamin's brother. One of those was my great-great grandfather, Louis Bastian. He married Dorothea Moyer about 1848. They moved to Wisconsin about 1860. His son Gideon was born 1853 in Pennsylvania, raised in Wisconsin and followed his Preston in-laws to California about 1892. My grandfather was born in San Jose in 1899 and my dad in 1924. As near as I can tell, the Germans and English settlers kept separate settlements in Tioga County. EdrieAnne
