Hello researchers, I am interested in hearing from other descendants of James ROSS of Stoneycreek Twp (c1734-1801) A male ROSS cousin of mine consented to sending his DNA for family research analysis and so far it does not connect with any other ROSS lines in their database. Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) suggests obtaining samples from several more direct male descendants of James through his other sons in order to identify the specific markers for this line of ROSSes. Our lineage is from James through Adam, then Nathan, Oliver, and Blaine. We would, then, be talking about samples from a male directly descended by male lineage through sons other than Adam namely Michael, John, George, Jacob, or Joseph. Please assure any prospective donor that they do not have to donate blood; a sampling is adequately made from scrapings of the oral cavity, i.e. the inside of the cheeks. I do have the recent ancestral origins and the other results of the DNA testing. Another feature is the option of recording results in the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Genographic survey and to check ancestral tracking. Thank you. Jean Hudson Masco
