I am reading "From Babylon..." now. Sure does disavow a lot of SC Huguenot myths and recent modern, scholarly information and interpretations. Bill DuBose Saturday morning, March 11, there will be a Huguenot session at the SC Archives in Columbia. The president of the Huguenot Society of SC will be there. Topics will include, how to join the society and some hints to help your Huguenot research. I will have a copy of the new book "From Babylon to Eden" about Huguenot migration to SC. There is a fee that will cover lunch. Send me an email off the list if you would like some details.

    1. National Geographic Article The Greatest Journey......Our DNA
    2. Herbert Hendricks
    3. National Geographic "The Greatest Journey Ever Told, The Trail of Our DNA" March 2006. For those who participate in the Genographic Project per providing their DNA sample and getting their 12 marker DNA results they should read this article. When reading the article pay particular attention to the paragraph on page 73 which reads; "The Tribe's DNA is unlikely to yield any simple truths, at least in the short term. Native American groups like the Seaconke-Wampanoag have European and African as well as Native American ancestry. And as Theodore Schurr explains to those donating blood, "the initial results won't reveal a person's full heritage." They could point back to Metacomet's people-or to ancestors from another continent. "A fuller picture will emerge only after the project analyzes each person's full set of chromosomes and compares them with the Genographic Project's growing lode of DNA from other Groups." As some of us has been pointing out also, that the 12 marker results provided to the Genographic Project's participants, "the initial results won't reveal a person's full heritage" is just part of what it takes and requires to track a person's full heritage, "A fuller picture will emerge only after the project analyzes each person's full set of chromosomes and compares them with the Genographic Project's growing lode of DNA from other groups." Interesting that the article makes this type of quote but again never really quantifies in terms of DNA testing what a person's "full set of chromosomes" really is that is required in comparing to others. If you really understand DNA testing you know that it takes more than 12 markers to determine the "fuller picture." Another little bit of information for those participating in the role of DNA testing and what people tell others and don't tell others that is happening with their DNA. God Bless.

A lot of 12 Marker DNA tests also do not give you the first step in your mapping process It often takes an SNP test to do this. About 20% of our Hendricks DNA participants had no typical route to a Haplotree marker without an SNP testing. Then a deep clades set of test to map further back in time. Then you may find you have a uniques set of results that has not been mapped. The results a brick wall until enough of a data base is collected and compared to continue mapping backward in the past.

    1. The Genographict DNA Project as Seen by the Initiators
    2. Herbert Hendricks
    3. To All, Please read the following quote: "Last year, in April (2005) the National Geographic Society threw its weight behind a distinctly 21st-century mapping effort: The Genographic Project. under the leadership of geneticist, Spencer Wells, its scientist will collect and analyze DNA of 100,000 people. By mapping the global distribution of genetic markers, they hope to develop a detailed picture of humanity's migration out of Africa." "Wells was a graduate student of population geneticist Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, who first linked the disciplines of genetics and geography, pioneering what he naturally termed "genetic geography." In a landmark letter published in Genomics in 1991, Cavalli-Sforza called for a "worldwide survey of human genomic diversity" fearing that just as science was coming into its own, the populations most in need of study were heading toward extinction. The idea transformed the Human Genomic Diversity Project (HDGP), a forerunner of Wells' effort, and the term "genetic geography" morphed into the quotable hybrid "genography." But the HDGP fizzled, and the term genography lay dormant until it was revived last year. Now, with thousand of participants to date--and its share of controversies-the Genographic Project stand to go down in history and bring the word genography with it." This is what was being sold by DNA companies (who have made huge bucks off of this project) to numerous Genographic Project DNA managers the DNA companies recruited throughout the USA. However in order to get people to participate the propaganda was changed to "we'll connect you to your family with a $99 - 12 marker DNA test." Many SC Web sites were posted to this message to recruit people to participate in the program. No one sought to tell people that 12 marker DNA tests could connect you to your surname and to many others also who were not your kin. The DNA companies started fostering these people off on Family DNA Project to take the rein and explain that 12 marker DNA tests didn't solve your family connectivity problem. The local Genographic Project managers continued to recruit people until it became ridiculous, get your 12 marker test and connect to your family was the message. That is when people, like me, started posting what was the truth. It takes collective people in the same family with matching family histories and matching DNA markers up to 37+ to match up your family lineage and show it is true. To many little white lies still out there. In addition this Genographic Project DNA information is available publicly who know who else will use it 1) the FBI for their criminal data base, 2) the US Government, etc. So if you really want to use DNA to solve your family history problems, just join a your Surname DNA Project and work with the people there to get a sufficient data base of your family group and you will have a better than even chance to solve those brick walls. If you want some more of our brick wall stories contact me off line. God Bless.

    1. Re: [SCLAUREN] A True DNA Story
    2. Herbert Hendricks
    3. Dear Carole, You have asked an excellent question. I visited the Laurens DNA site which posts some DNA results for people from Laurens. This is not the way to find about your connections to your family. Why? Nothing ever stands alone. DNA testing and family history needs something to compare to. DNA testing is only valid when you have a surname connections project of similar surnames with hopefully matching DNA profiles to compare to. We have 22 different Hendricks groups and this illustrates what I am saying. Generally surname Projects are slightly less expensive to join and get DNA testing. Generally surnames have diverse family connections. Joining a group will generally get you some one who knows something more than a posting about your surname. In our case we have about 80 years of documented land deeds, grants, wills, church records plus numerous lineages. We also provide free 3 family history CDs which are useful for searching out your family records. So what to do? As a start you can go to your browser like Google or Yahoo and plug in DNA testing. This will pull up a lot of stuff. However there are a number of DNA testing companies and this is what to look for. I will give you an example, Family Tree DNA is found at (Not a necessary advertizement for FTDNA) http://www.familytreedna.com/surname.asp<http://www.familytreedna.com/surname.asp>. This web site gives you a place where a large number of surnames are posted. Scroll down to the alphabet listing of projects click on the first letter of your surname. This will bring up a list of surnames of the beginning letter of your surname. Scroll until you find your surname and click on it. This takes you to a page that begins to give information about your surname. Depending upon the knowledge and dedication of the Group Administrator you will begin to connect to your family. There is also a link to the person doing the coordination of the project. We and numerous other DNA Projects have learned the hard way overtime to do 37+ marker DNA testing. Why? Visiting such sites as Charles Kerchner (http://www.kerchner.com/dna-info.htm there<http://www.kerchner.com/dna-info.htm%20there> is excellent documentation that shows you why. To separate out people 12 and 25 marker testing often gives false positive matches which lead people to make errors in connections to family members. 37+ marker testing also helps separate out different members in family groups. So if you are really serious about DNA the above is a beginning. However you need to search out male members of your family for Y-DNA testing as the genes are passed for a given surname down form father to son to grandson forever. Getting other members of your surnames, once your know your family's DNA profile, will establish a DNA base profile in which to compare others to your particular surname group. We have a number of good case example. For instance we had three particular groups of Hendricks do DNA testing. 1) back to Daniel Hendrick of MA 1617., 2) A family back to KY 1792 and 3) a family back into Eastern NC 1700. When they saw that all three were beginning to match, one group only did a beginning 12 marker test, then a 25 and 37 test they all began to match. So from 3 different groups at the beginning (one group only 12 markers which wasa mistake at the beginning) they matched into a single Hendrick/s family Group pointing toward Daniel Hendrick of MA b 1617 m 1642 Dorothy Pike, d of Robert Pike Mayflower passenger. Talk about thrilled. Now all this different happen overnight. The Hendricks Family Association had a data base on the Daniel Hendrick group and also what some know as the Jabesh Hendricks or Francis Hendrickson family of Eastern NC. All this helped put the family together for DNA does not stand alone it stands with family history records. The whole story is more complicated but it shows you what can happen in a family surname project where you have good participation for DNA testing and good family records. Working with dedicated people who search their families histories and getting good DNA participation form multiple given surname families is what makes success. Standing alone somewhere just hoping and waiting will not solve your project's problems. Participation and working with family members to bring together your family history will solve many a problem. God Bless.
