Elizabeth, According to what I've read and understand at this point, the Y chromosome transfers from father to son, and I've never read anything that indicated that race would change the transfer results. If you are referring to the Recent Ethnic Origins results from FTDNA, those are only as good as the countries of origin reported by people tested. It's really a statistical breakdown of what people listed for their ancestors and is not based on any specific part of the chromosome testing. If my current understanding is correct, it's possible that Daniel's father, grandfather, etc. were Sisson descendants, and Nathaniel would have passed the chromosome to his children, etc. I will write FTDNA to be sure that I understand this correctly, and let you know what I find out. What a great question.

Question: If my brothers DNA doesn't show a black heritage, could we still have a history of that race from the maternal side of the family? I need to know. I went in to Ancestry and the 1870 census searching for my grandfather and found this 1 year old child listed. He was born in AL, colored, 1 y/o, 1870,County is Calhoun and the post office is White plains. I then viewed the image and this is what I found: Daniel Sissen is the head of the household, age 36 and b in SC. The wife is Sarah, age 36, b GA. Son is Sam age 13, b AL, lokks like Cnahey female age 6, b AL, Eliza age 4, b AL and Nathaniel age 1, b AL. I would like any information that is out there regarding this family. Elizabeth McGhee

Dear List, I'm new to this list, but want to know if anyone has proven who the spouse was of John Sisson of Ann Arrundel County, MD. In his will he calls Cornelius Howard Sr. Brother. I suspect this means John Sisson who married a Frances ? might have married a sister of wife of Cornelius Howard. I believe Cornelius Howard married Elizabeth Todd(who I believe- but can't prove yet is the daughter of Thomas Todd the Boatright of Norfolk County, Virginia. Someone in a discussion several years ago on Howard Surname- Rootsweb board, thought that John Sisson had a brother who married Elizabeth Todd who later married Cornelius Howard Sr. Naturally I have seen this discussed, but can't find evidence of such. Any help would be appreciated. I believe John Sisson died about 1675. Would like to know who his parents were or siblings, and where he came from.

If you have New England ancestors, Sisson or otherwise, membership in this organization is hard to beat, particularly as nearly everything is available online, and published genealogies can be borrowed through the mail. The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2003 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. Information about the newsletter is available at http://www.eogn.com. David Arne Sisson NewEnglandAncestors.org The New England Historic Genealogical Society, founded in 1845, is the country's oldest genealogy organization. The five charter members (Charles Ewer, Lemuel Shattuck, Samuel G. Drake, John Wingate Thornton, and William H. Montague), a group of merchants and book dealers, envisioned an association devoted to "collecting, preserving, and publishing (occasionally) genealogical and historical matter relating to New England families". Throughout its 158-year history, the New England Historic Genealogical Society has been a leader in the genealogy world. This society has always taught its members the proper methods of genealogy scholarship. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register (notice the slight name change from that of the Society) is one of the leading examples of high-quality genealogy research with scholarly articles published about many New England families. It is also the oldest of all the genealogy publications, having been published four times a year for the past 155 years. The NEHGS Register system, used in that publication, is a standard method of listing genealogy information in narrative form. Many other publications also use the Register System as invented at NEHGS. The Society's library and archives in Boston hold some of the best records available anyplace for those researching New England ancestry. In fact, the manuscript collection of the Society is priceless, with a wealth of information not available elsewhere. The focus is primarily New England, but in recent years this has been expanded to include the ancestral homelands of many New England's immigrants: eastern Canada, England, Ireland, and more. There is but one problem: these documents are located in Boston! Not everyone interested in these records can easily travel to read them. This is a large society with more than 20,000 members, more than half of whom live outside of New England. Even those who live within a few hundred miles of the Society's location in Boston may find it inconvenient to go to the library in person. Luckily, the Society has found an excellent method of serving those members. While steeped in tradition, the New England Historic Genealogical Society also has become a high-tech organization in recent years. Under the guidance of Executive Director Dr. Ralph Crandall, the New England Historic Genealogical Society now is a leader in electronic publication. Luckily for Society members who do not have convenient access to the Boston repository, this information is available at home, both online and on CD-ROM. I have written reviews of a number of NEHGS CD-ROM publications in past newsletters. This week I spent some time on the Society's Web site, available at www.NewEnglandAncestors.org. Some of the introductory information is available for everyone to see. However, the "good stuff" is kept behind user IDs and passwords and is available only to Society members. The crown jewel in the online site has to be The New England Historical and Genealogical Register - 1847-1994. The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of topics since its inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land and probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical essays. Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the Register for more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been treated in the pages of the journal, and many more are referenced in incidental ways throughout. These articles may range from short pieces correcting errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that reveal family origins or present multiple generations of a family. Every page of this publication is available online through 1994. The register is searchable by a combination of first name, last name, start year, and end year. In addition, the search may be for exact spelling of words, "begins with" searches, or Boolean searches. The user can also find information by entering the exact page number(s), a useful feature after finding a reference to the Register in some other publication. The appropriate page from the Register is displayed on-screen as a graphic image. Each image can be printed or saved to a local hard drive as a GIF image, the latter of which can be imported into other applications. The Register is but one of the online publications available.

Thomas Cary of Newburyport, Massachusetts, 1762-1806 The Diary of William Ingersoll Champney of Boston, Massachusetts, 1814 Divided Hearts, Massachusetts Loyalists, 1765-1790 The full list goes on and on and includes a number of family genealogies. Some of these are available as images of old books while others are textual databases with words that can be copied-and-pasted into other documents. To be sure, you could purchase most of these publications on paper or on CD-ROM to add to your personal library. The cost, however, would be thousands of dollars. It is far more cost-effective to join the Society and then use the online Web site instead. As valuable as these resources of genealogy information may be, they are only a part of the available information on NewEnglandAncestors.org. Other features of the site include: a.. NEHGS Library Catalog b.. Helpful Guides for New England Research c.. Research Columns: articles on a wide selection of topics, updated weekly, by noted genealogical authors, members of NEHGS, and fellow researchers. d.. Locality Research: The articles in this section will provide you with detailed information on how to do genealogical research in the New England states, New York, eastern Canada, England, and Ireland. e.. How-To Guides, such as: a.. Making Optimum Use of the IGI by Helen Schatvet Ullmann, CG, FASG b.. A Research Trip to the Family History Library: Twenty Reasons You Should Go by Paula Stuart Warren, CGRSSM c.. Family History Fun for Children by Maureen A. Taylor d.. and more. f.. Other articles on: a.. African American Research in New England b.. Family Health and Genealogy c.. Genetics and Genealogy Again, the above is an abbreviated list. All of the above is a sample of what you can find on www.NewEnglandAncestors.org. It is not a full list. A complete description of everything on that Web site will fill more than one newsletter. If you have New England ancestry, NewEnglandAncestors.org is probably the best online resource for you. It is available to members of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The present membership price is $60.00 per year; however, that will increase very soon to $75.00, so I'd suggest that you join now at http://www.newenglandancestors.org/rs1/membership/main/ To learn more about this online treasure house of genealogy information, go to: http://www.newenglandancestors.org

Sharon, This line descends from Robert and Amy of Richmond County, VA. Their son, William (m. Martha Hudson), was the father of Henry (m. Anne Meeks), who was the father of John (m. Mary), who was the father of Richard. The documents for these are cited in the "notes" sections after each name. Richard, b. about 1760, married Hannah Thornton. Their son, William Atwell, was born in Richmond, and his Baptism is recorded in the North Farnham Church records in 1791. Richard and Hannah left Richmond Co and re-settled in Georgia in about 1797. Richard had served in the Revolution, and after his death, his sons applied for his land bounty. However, the sons who applied in 1837 were Richard of Jasper County, GA and John B of Pike County, GA. Since William Atwell's name was not included, it appears that he was not living in 1837. I concentrate on Virginia, so have never looked into Georgia records. You may find William Atwell references there. Please note that there is an Atwell Sisson, b. 1798 in Fairfax, Virginia. His notes are found at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~dasisson/robert/aqwg17.htm#2265 We have no information on descendants for William Atwell, but the line of Atwell is well documented.

Obituaries: Posted in the Bangor Daily News, Maine, Tuesday, September 9, 2003 London - C.H. Sisson, a British poet, novelist and critic who explored the human condition and the melancholy of growing older, has died. He was 89. Sisson died Sept. 5 at his home in Langport, southwest England, said his daughter Janet Louth. The cause of death was not announced. Born in Bristol, southwest England, Sisson graduated from Bristol University before joining the Ministry of Labor as a civil servant in 1936. During World War II he served with the British army on India's northwest frontier. His first anthology, "The London Zoo", was published in 1961 and one reviewer found in it "the inviting yet menacing ripeness of a bruised pear." But Sisson did not become well known for his poetry until "The Trojan Ditch" was published in 1974. It was regarded by some critics as one of the most important poetry collections published in England since the war. Sisson remained in the civil service until retiring in 1972, as director of Occupational Safety and Health in the Department of Employment. Other works include "Christopher Homm" (1965), a novel about working-class life, and "The Case of Walter Bagehot" (1972), a collection of criticism in which he attacked Victorian liberalism. In "English Poetry 1900-50" (1971), he accused poet W.B. Yeats of strutting and Wilfrid Owen of sometimes being "unpleasant and tasteless" while Dylan Thomas, he opined, has "very little" to say. Sisson's wife Norah died earlier this year and he is survived by his two daughters. Funeral arrangements were no announced.

Dear Cousins and Friends, I don't know what took me so long - but I have discovered that searching in Google (or probably in any search engine) with the words Sisson and image (just type those two words) will show you a whole lot of pictures by and of Sisson people. David Arne Sisson

Pfc Sisson was a man who gave his all that we might live in freedom and so that the people of Iraq might also. I am proud of him, his devotion, and mindful of his supreme sacrifice and the pain that brought to his loved ones. Thank God, that we have fine men like Christopher. My deepest sympathy to his family. Col. Edward M. Nissen, USA, ret. (Richard, James, Richard, Lemuel, Lemuel Jr., Jacob, Isaac, Jose Padilla, Mary Louise Padilla)
