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

So......let's list the DNA projects that might or are related to our Bush River Quakers. Here's the ones that I know about: 1. Gilbert (Hester Gauntt m. Thomas Gilbert in 1791) http://www.janegilbert.org/gilbertdna/ 2. Hollingsworth (The Hollingsworth Family DNA Project is managed by John R.Hollingsworth of Birmingham, AL. I am sue that John would be most happy to guide you in the development a DNA project for your family. The E-MAIL address for John R. Hollingsworth is [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) . Very Best Regards and Keep In Touch. W. Carey Hardy 3. Pearson: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/pearson Send others, please! JudyR

4. Chandler http://www.thecfa.org/dna.html Jacob Chandler and family were Quakers who migrated from the Hopewell Meeting to Bush River. This line has a solid baseline with descendants of different sons of Jacob having been tested. On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 10:29 AM, Judith F.
