Jane, I agree with you about 99.9%!! I have had the FGS (full genome sequence) of my uncle's mtDNA done (which should match mine; I'm still waiting for my results), and he matches one other man's mtDNA exactly. FTDNA says this is roughly equal to a 37/37 Y-DNA match and we should be able to find our common ancestor. We DON'T have common mutations for this haplogroup. The other man and I have been in correspondence, and we are both stuck in our research around the same time/same place....so probably we connect within a generation or two in there someplace....we just need more research to find our link. However, I would say until many more people do the complete FGS for their mtDNA, it is useless for genealogical purposes. However, like you, I find it fascinating to know more about my ancient ancestors from this test. By the way, if your direct MATERNAL line is Quaker, you are also welcome to join the British Quaker project. We have quite a few mtDNA results posted there, but ! of course the surname on there are useless since they change each generation. I'm hoping to improve the mtDNA part of the site to make it more useful to everyone. Susan Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:44:34 -0400 From: "jane gilbert" Subject: Re: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Surname, welsh, and Quaker projects! If I can just comment on the mtDNA issue a little... mtDNA is all but useless for genealogy except in very specific circumstances where a maternal relationship is suspected, but can't be proven, and qualified donor descendants have been identified. mtDNA doesn't mutate anywhere nearly as readily as Y-DNA, so an exact match with mtDNA even at the high resolution level could mean you have a common maternal ancestor dating back thousands of years. From the Family Tree DNA website on this subject: "A high resolution match occurs when two individuals have exactly the same sequence in both the HVR1 and HVR2. High resolution matches are the ones which are more likely to be related within a genealogical time frame. A high resolution match has about a 50% chance of sharing a common ancestor within the last 28 generations (about 700 years)." That's only a 50/50 chance that you have a common maternal ancestor in 28 generations! I don't know about you, but I'm nowhere close to have my maternal line back 700 years. To make matters worse in my case, I've had the Full Genome Sequence done on my mtDNA (the absolute highest resolution possible), and my mtDNA has not incurred any mutations in an estimated 6000 years. My mtDNA reflects (unchanged) the mtDNA of the H1a "clan mother" who lived about that long ago somewhere in Europe. Her ancestor Helena, the clan mother of the entire H clan, lived about 20,000 years ago in south central France. Bottom line, mtDNA should be considered more of a test to satisfy your curiosity of your deep maternal ancestral roots versus being of any genealogical significance. Jane

Hi Everyone, One of the purposes of the British Quakers DNA project is to gather all Quaker names together in one location. That way, instead of searching Ysearch (which I also like, by the way) and FTDNA's site by each of the surnames you are interested in, you can just go to the British Quakers DNA site. Of course, it is a relatively new project, so it will take time to add more names. But be sure and check it out! And more importantly, if you contact someone from one of the surname projects, please tell them to add themselves to the British Quaker DNA site (free to add yourself if you've already taken the test with FTDNA). As long as they've traced their Quaker line back to Colonial America or anywhere in the British Isles, they can join up. I also welcome Quaker surnames to add to the project list. My list is FAR FROM COMPLETE!!!

Dodd: Patriarch William came from Kennett, Chester, PA, to northern neck, VA, ca 1741 where he joined Fairfax MM. We have DNA from descendants of William's four sons Edward of Hopewell MM, VA (to Greene Co., TN); John of Loudoun, VA; Thomas and Jesse of Bush River MM (Padgett's Creek), SC. Thomas had land in Newberry ca 1766 then brought father (probably) and 3 siblings down to settle in Union, SC, around Padgett's Creek MM An Elleman bought Thomas Dodd's Newberry land. Anne Crocker now living in Concord, NC PS I second Jane Gilbert's discussion of mtDNA: great for Deep Roots comparisons with National Geographic type maps and sometimes with very careful selection and testing of multiple female descendants for perhaps proving the general family group of an uncertain maternal ancestor. But the proving of a maternal ancestor several generations back is very iffy. We're trying now to find female descendants of sisters of a Nancy Cathcart b ca 1772 probably VA to Samuel Cathcart and unknown wife. This Nancy Cathcart married Fielding Foster ca 1792 in possibly Scott Co., KY. The Fosters and some of the Cathcart allied families migrated to SC along the Spartanburg/Union/Laurens/Greenville lines. Martha Cathcart is said to have married a Clarke and sister Sarah Cathcart married a James Hindman. Again, to accomplish this almost impossible feat (with very uncertain results), we need to track down the daughter's daughter's daughter's children and do this with at least 3 lines for comparison. I'm just doing some hunting, it's my cousin who's masterminding the process. If anyone has Cathcart females, please send me an email. Ah, yes, the tie in: Fielding Foster/Nancy Cathcart's daughter Malinda (ca 1798-1862) married Edward Powell Hemperley ca 1817 Spartanburg, SC. In turn Malinda Foster Hemperley's daughter Mary Jane(1834-1868) married James Thompson DODD, ggrandson of Thomas Dodd and wife Sarah Sample of Fairfax MM, VA, and Bush River/Newberry/ Padgett's Creek, SC--at least Thomas' wife Sarah and her children are listed in the Bush River MM records.

If you want to see if there is a project on any of your family names there are several places that you can research. Familytreedna.com has a searchable database and sometimes the admin has websites that you can contact for more information and results. I like Ysearch.org http://www.ysearch.org/ You can just enter your surname and it will give you matches. Some people put out their pedigree which really helps but there is usually an email address for each record and some info on the most distance Patrilineal ancestor. It is completely voluntary to put your results in this database, so most people are very receptive to exchanging info with you. Vivian

I'll chime in here on the DNA projects....because I find them to be so much fun. I did my mtDNA (mitochondrial----mother to children--that is female line) in the early summer. It was very disappointing at first for me. I don't know what I expected. But what you get is hundreds of matches with such a variety of surnames that it is mind boggling. Then I bought Bryan Sykes' The Seven Daughters of Eve. And now I am absolutely fascinated! I descend from Helena. And now I am devouring Bryan Sykes' book on the Y-DNA called Adam's Curse. Honestly, run...don't walk to your local library or bookstore and get his books. They are an extremely entertaining read....if you don't get hung up with trying to understand every single detail. Then man is a scientist, but he writes like a storyteller. Now, that said, I have to admit that I am VERY interested in his subject matter. I have paid for many DNA participants for my various lines. I only wish that I could find a few more before the sale ends on Sept 30th. I am still working on a possible McKinsey for my Newberry County line. I actually have someone who knows that they descend from my McKinsey line who has cousins and uncles....but it is hard to convince someone not interested in genealogy to take the test even when they are not paying. Just thought that I would add my 2cents. marsha moses

Right on Steve. But...and not to confuse anyone, if you are a female and have a living Hollingsworth cousin and you can talk him into taking the test for you, you can confirm your line. My cousin took a Cotrell test for me and the data is online in my name, not his so his identity is not online and we had a fund that paid for it so it did not cost him anything. I know several women who have done this.

Remember....a son carries both his father's y dna and his mother's mtdna....so the "volunteer" you decide on depends on which maternal line you are interested in. Genetic Genealogy is also very helpful in determining which lines you do NOT match...for those of us researching very common surnames, this is its main value. By having a dna test of our pre revolutionary Walker line in South Carolina, we not only have found a group of matches, we have eliminated more than 50 other Walker family groups...

Anne, I have Quaker Pearson ancestors who lived in SC during the late 1700's. They moved to Hawkins County, in East Tennessee, near Greenville. I don't think they remained Quakers after relocating. Do you have any connections or information on them? I noted the name Pearson in your subject line.

Do any of you have Greene Co., TN, connections to family that came from the Frederick, VA, Hopewell MM area? My Dodds in Greene Co., TN, from at least 1796 are from Edward Dodd/ Mary Littler of Hopewell MM.
