Hi, I ran across a Wm. McQueen on the 1830 Lawrence Co., KY Census image 11 of 44 on Ancestry.com....His name appears at the bottom of the list. He is aged 'Of Thirty and Under Forty.' One young male 'of five and under ten.' listed. Two females under five years of age. One female 'of five and under ten.' One female 'of thirty and under forty.' ------- ______________________________________________________ Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/

Hi guys - It's good to see my or should I say our Hampton in the subject line again. I think Wendy's questions have been answered except maybe one :*) Who is James Queen and Zilpah Hogan. The only thing I have ever found on the web is the following taken from Reiley Kidd'sweb site. Reference http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/2864/ "1813? - a Rutherford Co. NC will[22] of Adam Mooney gives his land to wife Susannah, and includes the phrase “....including the land purchased from Tilpha (or Zilpha) Hogue and James Queen.” The Hogues are often mentioned in documents about the Queens. Rebecca Queen, daughter of old William Queen, married Stephen Hogue, and Tilpha/Zilpha may have been their daughter." Obviously this doesn't mean that there isn't a Zilpha Hogan - but if there is who is she? Oh the endless Questions. This has always been of interest to me as the name Zilpha/Zeltha shows up in a couple of generations in my Queen line. Oh and one more thing - remember that a descendent of Hampton matches perfectly a descendent of a documented descendent of old William. You all take care. Glenda

You can find the marriage records for Hampton Queen (b. abt 1796, d. 1854) and Hannah Williams in Wayne County, Indiana Marriage Records; Book A, page 32 with date of 11 May 1820. The marriage record is the first documented information I have found on Hampton and Hannah (williams) Queen. If you or any one else can document anything earlier on this Hampton Queen, I would be interested in the information also. Have not documented information on who the parents or siblings of this Hampton Queen are.

I haven't done a lot of research on the Queen family, but I have a Hugh Queen married into my Bracken family. At least, I thought so! I have the following note about him from another researcher: "I knew Edna Sprigs from Epworth, GA when she was alive. This is info that she gave. Edna's grandmother was Elizabeth Bracken, sister to Lucinda. She said that her grandparents were Elizabeth Bracken and Hugh McQueen. Hugh was born in 1815, I do not have his parents names. However, Edna said that this McQueen and the Queen family was and is the same one, cousins that one changed their names a little." Gene, back in May, you said Hugh M. Queen's wife in 1880 Rabun Co GA was Elizabeth WOODALL. As you'll see from the census below, Floyd Brackin was listed as a stepson of Hugh.

Open to: Family Tree DNA Group Administrators http://www.familytreedna.com/conference_2005.asp Genetic Genealogy: A Journey of Discovery ========================================= Taking a DNA test is an opportunity to make discoveries about your ancestry. Whether you are male or female, you can discover information about your ancestors. Males can discover information about both their direct male ancestor, and their mother's direct female ancestor. A direct male ancestor is your father, his father, and back up the tree. A direct female ancestor is your mother, her mother, and back up her tree. Females can discover information about their direct female ancestor. If you are female, you can learn about your father's direct male line by asking your father, brother, or a close male relative in the direct male line to participate. You are not limited to exploring just your direct male and direct female lines. Direct lines are where people usually start their DNA testing. You can also explore your whole family tree with DNA. For example, you could test a direct male descendent of your mother's father, to learn more about that line. Your journey of discovery starts when you order a test kit on our secure server. Test kits are mailed the next business day after an order is placed. Depending on your location, you will receive your test kit in a few days to a week. Each test kit has a unique serial number, which is assigned when you place your order. Your test kit will contain directions and a release form. The release form is very important. A signed release form must be received by us for you to participate in matching, where you see the name and email address of those you match and they see your name and email address. This is the only information which is provided to those whom you match. The release form is short and simple, and should be returned with your test kit. For those who are at an international destination, you will need to complete a Customs Declaration form at the post office when you return your test kit. We recommend that you put "genealogy swabs" on the customs form. The time for a test kit to arrive back at our office varies based on your location. If you are at an international location, the time depends on your country, and the route the package takes through customs and Homeland Security. Test kits are checked in at our office upon receipt, every business day. When your test kit is checked in, you will receive an email. This important email will provide you with your password. This password is needed to log into your Personal Page at FamilyTreeDNA.com. This email also tells you the expected time frame for the delivery of your test result by the lab. We recommend that you read the complete email, and save it for future reference. Once you have your password, you can log into FamilyTreeDNA.com with your kit number and password to access your Personal Page. At this stage, your Personal Page shows that your test kit has been received, and the date it was received. Your Personal Page will be updated as your test kit proceeds through the steps at the lab. You can log in at any time to see the status of your test kit. Your Personal Page also provides a link in the upper right, called Update Contact Information. Use this link to change any contact information, such as your email address, as well as to add additional email addresses for family members to share your experience with you. If your email address changes, be sure to remember to ALSO change your address for your newsletter subscription, using the link found at the end of each issue of the newsletter. Once you log into your Personal Page, you can then bookmark or add to Favorites your Personal Page, so you can log in at any time with just one click. Once your result is back from the lab, you will receive an email from Family Tree DNA. At the bottom of this email is a link to log in to your Personal Page. Your Personal Page will now have several tabs. These tabs correspond to selections available for the test you took. For a Y DNA test, your Personal Page will have the following tabs: Setup Preferences Y DNA Matches Recent Ethnic Origins Haplogroup Y DNA DYS Values If you took a mtDNA test, your Personal Page will have the following tabs: mtDNA Matches mtDNA Search mtDNA Results A description is provided for each tab. If you take both a Y DNA test and a mtDNA test, then both sets of tabs will be on your Personal Page. When you decide to take a DNA test, you will begin your journey of discovery. This journey is a very interesting and exciting experience. The experience continues after you receive your results, as new test results are added to our database, and match emails are sent out to those who match. If you want to view sample pages for the above tabs, visit our demo: http://www.familytreeDNA.com/ftLogin.asp?kit=Demo-2&code=A2418 To see an example certificate and report you will receive in the mail, click on the link below: http://www.familytreeDNA.com/CertReports.html If you are thinking of becoming a Group Administrator, you can view the tools available for Group Administrators, at the Group Administrator demo. Click on the link below, and then click Demo-1: http://www.familytreeDNA.com/CertReports.html mtDNA: Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS) ========================================= Human mtDNA is made up of 16569 base pairs and is divided into the coding region and the control region, which is also known as the D-loop. The D-loop is further divided into HVR-1 and HVR-2. HVR is an abbreviation for HyperVariable Region. The first mtDNA to be sequenced in full is called the Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS). A mtDNA test reports your results as compared to this sequence. Family Tree DNA reports your mtDNA results in the form of a table, showing the mutations as compared to the Cambridge Reference Sequence for the areas tested, either HVR1 or HVR1 and HVR2. The results will look like this: HVR1 Mutations 16264T 16270T 16311C 16319A 16362C 16391A If you have an insertion, such as after base pair 255, the insertion will be listed as 255.1C. This notation means that a single base pair insertion has been found in your mtDNA string, noted by the .1 and the molecule is Cytosine, denoted by the C. If you have a 2 base pair insertion, the results will look like this: 255.1C 255.2T. It is also possible that you have a deletion, where a base pair was not copied and you just don't have a base pair at that particular place. A deletion looks like this: 224 - . The dash signifies that the location 224 isn't in your mtDNA sequence and is represented by a minus sign at the site where it should have been found. On your mtDNA Results Page, below your mtDNA test results, is the Cambridge Reference Sequence. The mtDNA sequence displayed is read from left to right with the first nucleotide at position 16,001. Where you have a mutation from the CRS, the letter is shown in Red. A deletion is shown with a strike and an insertion is shown in Green. Your mtDNA test result shows the mutations as compared to the Cambridge Reference Sequence. Your test result also provides your Haplogroup, or major population group, and a description of this Haplogroup is provided. This information tells you about the distant origin of your direct female line. The CRS belongs to Haplogroup H. Haplogroup H accounts for about 40% of European mtDNA. Several tabs appear on your Personal Page. The tab labeled mtDNA Matches will search for exact matches to your mtDNA result. The mtDNA Search tab will tell you about the migration of those whom you match from our database of customers and databases from research studies. A mtDNA test will tell you about your direct female line, which is your mother, her mother, and back in time. Both males and females inherit mtDNA, though only females pass on mtDNA. When selecting a vendor for a mtDNA test, consider the extent of the area tested. Family Tree DNA tests for HVR1, locations 16001-16568 and for HVR2 locations 001-574. If you consider another vendor, most likely they will not test this entire area. The mtDNA test is available in 2 versions. These tests are called: mtDNA mtDNA Plus The test called mtDNA provides a result for the region of mtDNA called HVR1. The test called mtDNA Plus tests two regions of mtDNA, the regions called HVR1 and HVR2. If you want to find mtDNA matches in a genealogical time frame, select the mtDNA Plus test. To order a mtDNA test, either order as a member of a Surname Project, or click on the link below: Order a mtDNA test http://www.familytreeDNA.com/products.html For more information on mtDNA testing, see: Understanding Your Results: mtDNA http://www.familytreeDNA.com/facts_genes.asp?act=show&nk=4.2 Understanding Your Results: mtDNA Matches http://www.familytreeDNA.com/facts_genes.asp?act=show&nk=3.2 Understanding Your Results: mtDNA Haplogroups http://www.familytreeDNA.com/facts_genes.asp?act=show&nk=3.1 Understanding Your Results: mtDNA http://www.familytreeDNA.com/facts_genes.asp?act=show&nk=2.8 Y DNA: No Matches With Your Surname? ==================================== If you don't have a Y DNA match yet, and others with your surname have tested, this may indicate that your surname has multiple points of origin. If a surname has a single point of origin, one man or family adopted the surname. Where a surname has multiple points of origin, more than one man or family adopted a surname. These men could even be in different countries. Over time, surnames evolved, often to multiple forms, and through migration the surname spread out geographically. Another reason for not having any Y DNA matches could be that your surname evolved from a different root surname than those who have tested. As surnames evolved over time, two different root surnames each could each have a branch which evolved to the same form. For example, the surname Matts could evolve to Mates, and the surname Mate could evolve to Mates. If all the family trees tested in the project so far evolved from Matts, except your tree, which evolved from Mate, you wouldn't have any matches yet. The dataset of test results may still be small, as compared to the population of your surname. As the number of participants increases for your surname, you should find a match. It is possible that an event occurred in the past that affected the link between your surname and your DNA. These events include: a voluntary name change, informal adoption, extra marital event, or an illegitimate son taking on the mother's surname, and therefore breaking the Y DNA/Surname link. The most likely reasons that you do not have a match is that your surname has multiple points of origin and no one else has tested from your origin. The second most likely reason is that your surname evolved from a different root surname, and no one else has tested yet from this root origin. Unless your research or family legends indicate that an event occurred to break the link between DNA and surname in your family tree, you should first consider multiple origins for the surname or the surname evolving from two different root surnames. Let's look at the situation where your surname has multiple points of origin. For our example, the surname originated in 3 different locations in England. Each origin represents a different DNA result, or DNA Line. For our example, we will call these families D, E, and F. The surname originated in Essex, Staffordshire and Warwickshire. Over the centuries, migrations occurred in each family, so the surname has spread over a much larger geographic area. Some migrations resulted in all three families having members residing in the same geographic area, such as London. Even though they have the same surname, and are in the same location due to migration, they belong to different DNA Lines. Family D originated in Warwickshire, and for the first several generations after the adoption of hereditary surnames, there were many sons, who also had many sons. Therefore, this DNA line proliferated rapidly. Family E originated in Staffordshire. For the first 100 years, there were very few sons, so the population of this surname grew very slowly. Family F originated in Essex, and had a typical number of sons. The plague resulted in the major branch of this family wiped out. Only a few males were left to carry on this DNA line, so there are very few males today. Multiple migrations from different branches of Family D to the USA occurred, starting in the 1700's. Other branches migrated to Australia, and in the 1800's to the Republic of South Africa. In the USA, the proliferation of the surname continued, with multiple generations with a large number of sons. A branch of family E migrated to Canada in the 1700's, and then a descendent later migrated to the USA in the 1900's. In Canada, this surname proliferated, especially in Ontario. In Quebec, an unexpected and unknown variant has developed due to the pronunciation differences. The population size of Family F is still low today, and has never recovered from the plague. One male migrated in the 1800's to the USA, and another to Australia in the early 1900's. Today, in the USA and England, the majority of the population with the surname belong to Family D. The second major component of the surname population is Family E. Family F represents a very small fraction of the population of the surname. Less than 5% of the US population, and 15% of the England population belong to Family F. A person in Family F who tested would most likely not have any matches early in the Surname Project. Their surname has multiple points of origin, plus their DNA line is found in a low percentage of the population of the surname. Family D has the most matches. This family is also the majority of the surname population, and migrations have spread descendents to multiple countries. Family E has very few matches, and will have more matches when research or testing uncovers the unknown variant in Quebec. Thousands of different situations have occurred over the centuries. Each surname has encountered situations that would affect the population of the surname and the location of the population today. The above hypothetical situation is just one example of a situation that could occur, and which could result in a person testing from Family F and not yet having any matches. It is disappointing to not have any matches. You will have matches in the future. Perhaps a study of your family tree or surname will provide some clues as to where your DNA line is located today. In this case, perhaps you can recruit some participants from that geographic area. This action may result in you finding a match sooner. When you don't have a match, most likely your surname has multiple points of origin, or evolved from a different root surname. Recruiting Participants: Finding Potential Participants ======================================================= As a result of your family history research, you have probably developed a list of contacts. These contacts are the beginning of a mailing list, and as a Group Administrator, you may want to occasionally send out emails to keep fellow researchers informed about your Surname Project, and also to elicit their participation, or if they are female, their assistance to find a male in their family tree to participate. You can build a mailing list in your email program, and perhaps quarterly send out an email to all the people on your mailing list. The email doesn't have to be long, and can direct the recipient to the Surname Project web site for further information. In your email, be sure to highlight the key results for the Surname Project, and tell the readers how they can participate and represent their family tree, or how they can help by finding a potential participant to recruit. There are many sources from which you can add people to your mailing list. For example, perhaps you receive an inquiry about the Surname Project, and they aren't ready yet to participate. Put them on the mailing list. Your quarterly emails will serve as a reminder. In addition, the results you report for the Surname Project may motivate them to participate, or to recruit a participant. You can also look on the internet for those with your surname and an email address. Using Google advanced search, put the surname in the "all" box, and in the box labeled "at least one" put mailto: email. This search will bring up web sites that contain your surname, and either mailto or email. Mailto is used in html coding to designate an email address. Some of the search result web pages will have people with your surname and an email address. Some web pages will have your surname, but another person's email address. If you have a high frequency surname, you probably want to put in the Google search exact phrase box either genealogy or family history. If you don't have a high frequency surname, you can also limit your search results to those interested in family history or genealogy by adding those terms to your search. By adding the search criteria of genealogy or family history, you will probably find those who have posted about their surname interests or brick walls. Family History societies in the geographic area where your surname occurs, or has occurred historically, are often an excellent source to find others researching your surname, and participants for your Surname Project. Many Family History societies have Members Interests pages, where members can post their surname interests. Be sure to check the web sites for all the societies which cover your geographic areas of interest. If you don't know the geographic area for your surname in other countries, build a Surname Distribution and Population chart. Directions to build a chart are covered in the last issue of Facts and Genes. To read this article, click on the link below: Surname Distribution and Population http://www.familytreeDNA.com/facts_genes.asp?act=show&nk=4.3 To find family history societies for a geographic area, search with Google, combining family history with the location. If you do not get the right results, add the word society. For example: Family history New South Wales Family history Australia Family history Staffordshire For the US and England, if you are uncertain of the major locations for your surname, or haven't had time to break down your Surname Distribution and Population chart by geographic unit such as state or county, try the free mapping tool at Ancestry.com. This tool will map a surname for the UK 1891 Census, and for the US 1920 Census. Look on the map for the concentrations of the surname. The counties or states where there is a concentration of the surname would be an ideal location to find others researching the surname. Look for societies that cover these geographic areas. To access the Ancestry.com free mapping tool, click on the link below: Ancestry Family Facts US 1920 Census Map http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/fact.aspx?fid=7 Ancestry Family Facts UK 1891 Census Map http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/fact.aspx?&fid=6 To see a distribution chart of a surname in Ireland in the mid 1800's, use the link below, search the surname, and then click on the map. There are also extracts from a surname dictionary shown on the first search results page. Irish Ancestors: http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/index.cfm If you have a low frequency or rare surname, you might find a person researching the surname who belongs to the Guild of One Name Studies. The Guild of One Name Studies is a global family history organization headquartered in London, England. Members are interested in a one name study, which is researching all occurrences of a surname and variant world wide. Only one person can register each surname. Most members have accumulated a large volume of research, and have many contacts around the world. The surname researched by a member of the Guild of One Name Studies is not necessarily the same as their surname. Therefore, regardless of the frequency of your surname, you will want to check if any members have your surname. You can search to see if a surname is being researched or if a Guild member has the surname at the following link: http://one-name.org/register.shtml Another place to find those with your surname or those researching your surname are mailing lists. You can search Rootsweb and Genforum, looking for persons who hold your surname and have posted. Building a mailing list in your address book is one tool to help you recruit participants. A quarterly email to all the people on your mailing list will result in more participants. In your quarterly email, we also suggest that you mention our newsletter, Facts & Genes, and provide the link for a free subscription: For a free subscription to Facts & Genes: http://www.familytreeDNA.com/fgregister.asp The newsletter can help turn potential participants into participants, and participants may enjoy learning more about their test results, and the other tests available. In addition, it will encourage participants to upgrade their Y DNA tests when warranted. The newsletter will also keep your participants informed about advances in Genetic Genealogy and new features on their Personal Page. Once you have set up a mailing list, you are ready to send an email about family history research for your surname and your Surname Project. You don't need to wait for people to find your postings or web site. You can go find them. Disclaimer: Family Tree DNA does not endorse or sponsor any of the products or sites mentioned in the newsletter, and provides the information solely to assist those interested in Genetic Genealogy. For Group Administrators: Action Items ======================================= Action Items are suggested tasks for the Group Administrator, to continually enhance their recruiting efforts. In the first issue of Facts & Genes, we started the year with a review of the Project Profile and reviewing the surname variants. In the second issue, we suggested a review and update, or creation, of your web site. In the last issue we suggested that you start your Surname Population and Distribution chart, and also make your participants and potential participants aware of our newsletter Facts & Genes. For this month, our suggested activity is to use the web sites and techniques suggested in the above article, and build a mailing list in your email address book. You don't need to wait for people to find your postings or web site. You can go find them. Case Studies in Genetic Genealogy ================================= In each issue of the Newsletter, we present a situation which you may encounter as you utilize Genetic Genealogy testing for your family history research, followed by our recommendation. Case Study ========== I recently received my Y DNA results. I have a lot of matches, but not one has my surname. I have a paper trail back to 1752. Can you tell me why? Recommendation ============== When you are the first person to test with your DNA result for your surname, you wouldn't have any matches with your surname. You should have matches with your surname or variant in the future. Surnames can have a single or multiple point of origin. At a point in time, perhaps one man or family in one place started being known by your surname. In this case, the surname would have a single point of origin. Over time, the surname spread to various locations around the world through migration. On the other hand, perhaps there were multiple men or families in different locations who started being known by your surname. These locations could even be in different countries. Over time, migrations also occurred, spreading the surname. Since many people immigrated to the USA, your surname could have arrived here from any or all of the various points of origin. Let's assume for a moment that your surname has 5 points of origin in the UK, and all these origins are represented by family trees in the USA. Families from three of the origins were very prolific, and had many sons, and represent 90% of the USA population of the surname. Your origin is only represented by your family tree, and there is only one surviving male branch in the UK. You wouldn't have a match until some one from your origin tests. If you know the location in the ancestral country for your ancestors, this information will help you or your Group Administrator find participants from that location. Assuming that you are not the only male left in the world with your surname and DNA result, you will have a match. It is only a matter of time. In the Next Issue ================= We hope you have enjoyed this issue of Facts & Genes. Please feel free to contact the editor with your comments, feedback, questions to be addressed, as well as suggestions for future articles.

A few thoughts to stir the pot on this warm Sunday morning. Peggy is the nickname for Margaret. The full name Margaret Meredith is an interesting but plausible fiction based upon the naming of her second son Meredith Queen. The descendants of William McQueen and his marriage to Katherine Lewis are discussed in a well-researched theory that has never been established unless you take the opinions of Myles Philbeck as gospel. Even Philbeck never made mention of any offspring of Katherine named Margaret. I will sign off before I become even more insufferably pompous.

The brides name on that 14 Apr 1791 marriage to John McFarlin in Rutherford Co., NC was Peggy Queen. But that doesn't really help answer your questions.

OK super stars. Who has the correct and complete families. I have found a Margaret Queen bn abt 1774( md to John McFarlin) as a child of Margaret Meredith and William Lewis Queen Sr along with a Mary Queen bn in 1793/1798. However, I also have seen this same Margaret Queen bn about 1748 married to John McFarlin as the daughter of William Queen and Margaret Katherine Lewis. Who does she really belong to? If she belongs to William Queen and Margaret Katherine Lewis it means that she was about 43 when she married John McFarlin which she did on Apr 14 1791 in Rutherford Co., NC. I tend to doubt that. The answer would be easy if anyone has the children of Margaret Queen and John McFarlin. Literally, half of the genealogical data in the Internet and what I have collected over the years has her with either family. Someone, correct me please. Also where does this Mary Queen fit? Please help me get my families straight. You are wonderful. have a great day Wendy P.

Hi My Kin Folks. Does anyone know of these Queens in Rabun County Ga.? Tiny, John W., and Arzelia. Arzelia Queen's mother was a Redman - Stacy Elizabeth Redman. From the Home of Jimmy and JoAnne Redmond Sr

If you are going to be in the vicinity of Eureka Springs MO, on Oct 1st-2nd drop by Berryville which is just south of Eureka in Northwest Arkansas. There were Queens [and aligned Butlers] in that area 1835?--at least to 1900. Note: it is in Carroll County. The Historical Soc. is in the old Courthouse and has a lot of interesting artifacts and displays, and of course, they're planning this big blow-out. Katy ----- Original Message ----- From: Fleta To: Katy McMillen Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 5:50 PM Subject: Re: Oct 2005 Jamboree Certainly. It will be held in Berryville Arkansas at the First Church of the Nazarene, Hwy 21 North, October 1, 2005. Space and a table to display and/or sell items relating to your family history will be provided free of charge to individuals, family associations, and small vendors. All are encouraged to bring their family history material (books, notebooks, computer printouts, photos, charts, letters??) to share with attendees. To register complete the Registration Form here http://www.rootsweb.com/~arcchs/jamboree-register.pdf There will be no admission charge or charge for display space for genealogy exhibitors. Set up for exhibitors will start at 8 am, and the doors will open to the public from 9 am to 3 pm. We really want to encourage family history researchers to bring their research material, photos and family stories to share at the event. We will welcome genealogy orientated venders, but are stressing that we want exhibitors of local family history research material. Carroll County Historical Society will have their hugh collection of photos at the Saturday Jamboree for your browsing pleasure. For a small fee we will scan and print or copy to CD photos from our collections for you. We could also scan photos you might want us to add to our collection. Those attending may register for a free copy of Carroll County Families, These Were The First as well as many other door prizes donated by CCHS and local merchants. CCHS will also provide a basic genealogy how-to booth to assist beginning genealogists wanting to learn how to begin tracing their family trees. A mixer-dinner will be held Friday night, September 30, at the First Church of the Nazarene, Hwy 21 North of Berryville. If you want to attend the mixer, you will need to register for that also so we will know how many to plan for. There will be a charge of $8 for the dinner. A program on local Indian history is being planned. If you have any questions, just let me know. We are hoping for a big turnout of just plain family history buffs looking to exchange information with other researchers, but again, we will welcome vendors of genealogy related merchandise.

We have just added another participant to the DNA test. The new participant traces his ancestry back to Charles Queen, so he will be a welcome addition to the Group 4 Queens. I have reposted the webpage with a slightly different look today, showing some columns that don't usually appear. What I would like everyone to do is check the webpage, confirm the data that is in each column for your participant. I would particularly like to fill in any blank data for the most distant confirmed ancestor. So do the following for me. 1) Make sure that the person listed for each test is the most distant CONFIRMED ancestor, not just who you logically think it should be based on the other DNA tests. In otherwords, in your research, who is the most distant person you can documentarily confirm. This might seem silly to make the distinction, especially for a Group like the Group 1 Queens when the DNA points to Old William. But remember, our goal here is to build bridges, not leap rivers. 2) Give me the name of the spouse if known, first name will do if that is all you have. 3) Give me the city, state, and country of birth, and year if known. Put a question mark at the end of each if it is not confirmed. Finally, give me the geographic location that the most distant known ancestor first appears CONFIRMED in the records. For instance, my Francis is alledged to have been born in Ireland?, date Unknown, but his first CONFIRMED mention in the records is (Rowan County) Iredell County, NC, in 1778. I want the spreadsheet to reflect both assumed and confirmed information. I am going to continue to show only partial information on the webpage at the following exiting web address: http://webpages.charter.net/rlqueen/DNA/queenmarker.htm I am also going to start showing all of the expanded information for the test data for your reference at http://webpages.charter.net/rlqueen/DNA/queenmarker-x.htm I'll be posting that page sometime in the next day or so. For your information, the webpages are created using Microsoft Excel - Office 2000 version. I am more than happy to send anyone that wants it a copy of the spreadsheet to use for their own analysis. Ask and ye shall receive. We have 6 current kits in hopper making up a fine Queen stew. We can always use some new ingredients, a fresh DNA donor or two, to spice up the pot. We ll take a leg bone, a hamhock, a wishbone, anything as long it contains Queen DNA. Just like Col. Sanders, we want our DNA to be finger-lickin' good So get out there and ring the neck of one of those reluctant Queens and throw him in the stew. We use all parts! Nothing goes to waste here at the ole' Queen kitchen. BAM! Let's kick it up a notch!
