I've run into a wall with my Stone line. My grandfather, Roy Stone, an only child, was born on May 3, 1893 in NYC as Herbert Manville. Manville is my gggrandmother's maiden name, and I don't know where Herbert came from, or when it was changed. On the birth certificate, marriage status is listed as UW (unwed?), and although there is no name for the father, it states the father is a 26 year old machinist from Brooklyn. In both his SS application and military records, my gf lists George Stone as his father. Family rumour has it that he was a British Merchant Marine, but I could not confirm that. I would love to find out if either of these lines in Brooklyn, or perhaps the other possible George Stones in NJ or Conn. might be my line. I'm fairly sure that George Stone was my gf's biological father. There are also a few Herbert Stones I'd like to check. If there's enough interest, I'd like to be the administrator for a Stone DNA group. I perused the Family Tree DNA site and didn't see anything about a $99 group rate. Is there enough interest to start this? ws Pam Eagleson wrote: >Ditto....I have a father, brother or nephew I could talk into this and would >be most interested.... my line goes back to the 1700s Prince William CO VA. >I have done research on DNA testing for another line but couldn't get enough >people interested....

correction: Sarah Cornelia Manville was my ggrandmother. I have one too many g's below. Winston Stone wrote: > I've run into a wall with my Stone line.

You can e-mail Family Tree DNA, they will give you the $99.00 group price. Contact Bennett Greenspan. They did this for my Cooper DNA study. I started with just my own sample, it will grow as other Stone men will want to participate if you contact enough of them. Gary Winston Stone wrote: > > I've run into a wall with my Stone line.
