This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: STEVENS Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stevens/4044/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am trying to find a site which is collecting DNA studies of the descendants of Thomas Stevens [1679-1774] who died in Canaan Parish, Litchfield County CT. Although I have seen the Stevens name spelled as Stephens in census returns, etc I have not seen it spelled as any other way than Stevens and that is the way it is spelled in my line. The Stevens line through my grandfather is PROBABLY traced back to Thomas Stevens and that is why I am specifically looking for this line's test page. I recently provided a DNA sample [mtDNA] to the Sorenson Foundation [I urge everyone to do this--it is free and it will ultimately help sort out surnames. There is no immediate benefit to the person who donates except a discount on yDNA analyses -- if you have yDNA you want sequenced the discount is excellent. The url for them is: www.smgf.org This is not an advert for them but just thought I would throw that in. TIA judy
