Craig I had 9 participants who joined the project by Fri morning; 5 had given me an OK to use their names; 7 had already taken the family finder test (like me) I already have 342 matches. All together the 7 who took the Family Finder test had 2,000 matches. It's just an indication of how many others are in the mix and weather we're likely to get many Common Ancestors from the NN.

Hey Jim, Sorry I haven't been involved until now...just too much going-on. I joined the NN project last night. I'm Family Finder test kit 33030 and my gedcom is already uploaded. I'm in Family Finder under my legal married name, Mary West Rumora (my maiden name is Mary L. West).  Some of my NN direct ancestors include: Blackwell, Downing, Jones, Morriss, Morris, Pinckard, Steptoe, Stone. I'm chiming in late but would like you and all our other luncheon partners to know I had a great time and truly enjoyed meeting everyone at The Daily on Oct 1st.

Mary, I was very disappointed that you and I do not have a match....I also have Pinkard in my ancestry. My 3-gr-grandmother was Matilda Pinkard of Culpeper County, Virginia. So she is probably at least one or two generations away from the NN....Using Jim's Math, our common Pinkard ancestor in the NN might have been 7 generations ago and quite possibly even more generations making our "Cousinship" not show up on FF....too remote of a cousin....but it is very interesting. As an aside, I did not know before your below e-mail that Stone was a NN name. I am not descended from the Stone family, but I do look at a Joshua Stone in Pittsylvania County, Virginia during the Revolutionary War.....any chance that you know if this man might have had ancestors/family from the NN? From others' research I think his parents were likely to have been William Stone married to Sarah Howard. And grandparents John Stone married to Mary Nelson. Totally NOT my research nor is it documented....I am just curious if you have information related to NN. marsha moses On Oct 20, 2012, at 8:27 AM, "Mary L.
