Brigitte & Anne, The Y-chromosome is passed on from father to son to son to son etc with very little change in numerous generations. Since we are concerned with the Tucker surname (ie. tracing the paternal line---in this case, TUCKER), you need to have a male relative (ie. brother, uncle, cousin, father etc) participate in the DNA. If you wish to trace the maternal line, that is also possible. You ladies could participate in this part of the testing. As I have said, since I do NOT understand all of the ins and outs of this you really should contact Lee Tucker. He is VERY knowledgeable and I am sure that he can answer your questions much more fully than I can.

Anne, I see from your surname that your surname is Gibbs. Is your son's surname Tucker or Gibbs? In order to participate in the Y-DNA part of the test, he would need to be a TUCKER by birth. You can find out the costs etc by visiting the website:familytreedna.com You can then access the surname projects link. Under this link, you should find alphabetized surnames (ie. links A-Z) When you access the "T" link you should find the Tucker project. Under this link you should find a link to the project manager/co-ordinator. This should give you the email address of Lee Tucker. If not, I THINK his email address is ltucker@mindspring.com, but I am not sure of that. You need to check the website to be sure.

Some time ago..I saw a family Dna service,the Mormons were doing.I never got the full details..

Joan: I've never even met a male Tucker who was not my father or his 2 brothers. My grandfather was an only son, my great grandfather only had one son who died without children; there were some half-brothers in SC but have been unable to locate any male descendants from them.

June 30, 2005 As a descendant from the Amelia Co., Va. Tuckers, I have no hopes of having DNA submitted - I know of no living Tucker men in my branch. My father was the last Tucker in his branch of the family and there were only 2 girls in our family - he had one brother who married and he had a daughter.

JB, I meant to add that there are no males in my own family--just my sister and myself. But, I was able to convince an uncle. And, I certainly am glad that I did.

JB, You might do the MTDNA which defines the maternal line (if you know the name of the wife/mother of your Tucker ancestor). That is just another option. But, if you are interested you need to contact Lee Tucker. he can better explain all of this than I can.

Hello Twiggy :) I don't really know what you mean by "strain". Are we a virus (*laughs*). Or do you mean different ethnic groups? We all know that the Tuckers are of almost/if not all nationalities. I really can't say how many various lines are represented. For example, I would love to get someone from the Joseph Tucker of Maryland (Perry Co. MO) to participate. I would love it if more from the Bermuda Tuckers would participate and those from the Amelia Co. VA Tuckers etc. etc. Those with proven lineages can definitely help those who are wondering about theirs. These early Tuckers were very prolific and spread out all over this great nation. And, for those with "proven" lineages, there is ALWAYS another "twig" that one may not have been aware of. So, essentially, what helps one CAN help ALL Tucker researchers by giving a better view of the ENTIRE picture. But, of course, that is my opinion, for what it's worth :) Joan --- Acltk2@aol.com wrote: > Joan, to your knowledge, have they identified two or > more separate strains of > Tuckers in the US?

Hi, There are no "stupid questions" :) One cannot learn if one doesn't ask right? Of course, there can be "stupid answers" and I hope that this is not one (*laughs*). I will do my best. It it NOT a vial of blood. The submitter swabs the inside of the cheek with a swab. Our DNA is contained in our saliva as well as our blood. So, the test is totally painless, I am told. I hope that you will be able to participate. The more Tuckers who participate, the more DNA samples and various lines we have for comparisons.

May I ask a stupid question -- is this test a simple drawing of a vial of blood as when one goes in for a physical? I have a couple of lines this might really help with but don't "know" male cousins from either of these lines; would have to contact one of the distant cousins and would want to know what is involved.

To anyone on the list with suggestions Here goes one more time. Clinton TUCKER b. 1789 Lincoln Co. NC. I have no clue who his parents or siblings were. I'm quite willing to believe his parents may have come from VA. George TUCKER is listed as bondsman for Clinton's marriage to Rebecca Munday, in Tryon Co. NC. Could this be George the younger, or elder. Relationship, father, uncle, cousin ??? Clinton was a Methodist Episcopal Preacher. In the Lincoln Co area of NC there is a " Tuckers Grove Campgrounds" used in the early years by Methodists for revivals. Actually it is still in use by other denominations. Thanks to anyone with suggestions. Carol, http://community.webtv.net/carg/MYREALWORK Whatever befalls the earth Befalls the sons of the earth. ~Chief Seattle~

Anne, Women can participate in the MTDNA which is Mitochondrial DNA. This, however, doesn't trace the male lineage. I think it is used primarily for the maternal lines. But, again, you would need to consult Lee Tucker or someone else who is more knowledgeable about the intricacies of this procedure.
