I recently sent mine in. It is a little hard to understand at times, but I have been able to connect with several "cousins" I didn't know about and it confirmed a cousin relationship that I had already discovered. I did the Family Finder for myself through familytreedna.com. They often run specials after you join for upgrades, so when they offered the mitochondrial dna stuff for the female line, I upgraded to include that as well. My uncle submitted his YDNA for testing so I've been able to look at that for the direct paternal line. I also manually entered my results onto my ancestry.com tree to find connections there. If anything, it has helped me explore lines in my tree that I might not have necessarily concentrated on before. And I'm hoping, as more people submit their DNA, I can solve some mysteries in my family tree.

I haven't done anything with my family's, but a woman & her Dad from our local genealogy society took a bunch of Y-chromosome DNA kits with them when they went to Ireland a few years ago. There were Shanahans in two areas in Ireland, and the kits identified which area of Ireland their Irish immigrant ancestor came from when the tests came back, as from the one area there were matches, and none from the other area. It did nothing to identify the immigrant ancestor. What it can do is determine that two people are related, what it can't do is tell HOW they are related (no names & dates, and if there are anomalies like adoptions or something that one doesn't know about early in the family's history, it, of course, won't show a familial match to others that may be blood line kin.) Mtd DNA perhaps isn't as useful, as there are only 7 kinds in the world. If you don't know much about DNA studies, it is the DNA in the cell out side of the nucleus. It's passed on by the mother. Men have their mother's Mtd but don't pass it on to their off spring, but women do. The Y chromosome DNA is passed on only by the male, of course, and will link male father/son connections for generations (if one can get the samples.) Apparently these two types of DNA do not vary like other genetic strands within a cell, although on rare occasions there may be very slight mutations over generations. It's getting somewhat less expensive, and it depends on which genetic level you're testing for, with the more comprehensive studies being more expensive naturally. That doesn't necessarily make it cheap, especially, if you're doing as my friend did and had several tests run on men from the two areas of Ireland. At least in that case though, they know which area of the country to focus their research in. Karen On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 7:06 AM, <bradncathy@charter.net> wrote: > I recently sent mine in.

It's been a while since I asked -- Is anyone researching the family of Joseph P Allen, b 1818 Buncombe Co. NC, d 1903, Union Co., TN, and his two sons, John Henry Allen and Benjamin Turner Allen. Their mother was Frances/Fanny Jane Bradley 1811 SC-1881 Union Co. Also two sons by his 2nd wife, Agnes Sharp, who were: William Hasten and Charles/Charlie Allen. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Has anyone ever sent for their family DNA and was it worth the cost What information did you get from it Thank you Margaret Freemon _margfreemon@aol.com_ (mailto:margfreemon@aol.com)

Has any one ever done DNA testing and what kind of results did you get Is it worth the money? Thank you Margaret Freemon _margfreemon@aol.com_ (mailto:margfreemon@aol.com)

Yes....we have the same info and Peggy and daughter are in search of Fred.  I wanted to see if there was a news article on the accident.  Find-a-Grave's info was the same as I had on Nyle.  My Aunt Ruby was the family historian and she had passed that info down.  I would like to find a news article on it so if you run across one, please share . Peggy says she and her sister both remember Fred but no recollection of his death circumstances.  My mom barely remembers Fred as she was little when he was around.  Right now...it is a mystery.

Nile was my distant cousin and was killed in a car accident in Jan 1942 in Union County.  He was the son of Wylie B. Brewer and Martha Christian and had 3 siblings, Ocie, Zin, & Fred.  Does anyone know a direct descendent of any of these I can contact to find out the details of his accident and what happened to his brother Fred.  Fred also disappears in the 1940 Union County Census. Thanks, Veronica

His obit grabbed my attention especially because he was from the same town my grandfather, B. Lillard Booker was from. William O. Collett was born in Luttrell and moved to Nebraska where he lived a variety of places & performed a variety of jobs. He was in two succeeding days of an Omaha paper, but the first day had a photo of him (not a very good picture, but a picture, nontheless.) From what it said, I gathered he moved to Nebraska fairly early, and never moved back to TN. My grandfather's brother, John, also lived in NE for a time, but he was a bit more fiddlefooted and also lived in IN, AR and returned to Lutrell after several years. In case William is one of your lost sheep, here's a clue to his final end.

Dear List,   Does anybody out there connect with George Henry Johnson, b. 1877 & d. 28 July 1954 in Knox Co. TN?  He is buried in Stiner Cemetery in Union Co. TN   I believe this family connects to our DNA group, and would like to make contact with anybody who may have info on Geo. H. Johnson.  Also, does anybody have an obit,  TN Death Certificate, or any additional info on him?   Always willing to exc info to benefit each researcher.   Thank you,  Judy in TX

My maternal grandfather, Walter Lyons pastored it in the 1960's I think. Perhaps the school met in the church building? My father's Hamilton's are from Union & Grainger County. His great grandfather was Francis Marion Hamilton married to Mary Jane Haun. Their son Paris Hamilton was his grandfather. Elvin Tyler Hubbs' mother Mary Emily Hamilton was Paris's sister. So we are related! I would love to have a copy of the picture too. And I'm sure the Union & Grainger County Historical Societies would too. I have a picture of Francis Marion Hamilton & Mary Jane Haun I can send you. I also have my family tree on Ancestry.com & have lots of pictures on there. I started Hamilton & Lyons pages on Facebook for our family to share old family pictures & stories with each other. The Lyons one has been more active. They are closed groups but I can add relatives who friend me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
