I can certainly prove my line back six generations. I am still not sure about Martin Wells, Jr.'s parents. I think his father was Martin Wells, Sr. and his mother Mary Jones but am a bit unclear about that. I can definitely prove Martin Wells, Jr. and Sarah Boyd down through me. Mary Beth Marchant

Orin how about someone like me who has been tested through another company. Will they accept ours for their project or would we have to be retested through theirs? Jackie Perkins-Horton

Hi Thomas, Of course we don't know yet who my husband's John Wells b. ca 1795 died 1845 is descended from. But one of the other reseachers told us that his grandfather's father, Daniel James Wells, son of the above John, who was born abt. 1837 and died in 1909 had told him that his grandfather was a Daniel, and was a tall man. Two of the children of this John Wells b. abt. 1795 died 1845 said John was born in Maryland. My husband's DNA matches another Wells from Baltimore area, MD. I wonder if your Daniel and my husband's John could be brothers? Have you had your DNA done to see where you line up? Thanks, Kathy Wells. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ogro69@outdrs.net> To: <WELLS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 11:07 AM Subject: [WELLS-L] Wells family Maryland 1679-1836 > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: wells/adamson > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SCWBAIB/4399 > > Message Board Post: > > I found a book that talks about Wells family in Anne Arundel, Maryland > from 1679-1834.

Orin Where are we in the standardization of the marker values. I know that the values have changed through testing methodolgy changes and different labs report different values. Also, that some of our results have been added top the DNA databases such as Y Base. Have our results been updated to reflect these changes on our database and others? Can we get a "Conversion Chart" added to our results page showing which set of numbers we are using and the changes needed to compare with another databases (lab's) data? What is the status of the Phase III portion of the project? Has any research shown the paternal link patterns/markers on another portion of the DNA that can be used? Similarly, has the MtDNA patterns been linked to the nuclear DNA? It is inconceivable to me that more areas of the "junk" DNA have not become usable for testing. The concept of paternal line and maternal line only being passed down between generations defies logic. There has to be DNA areas where females carry the paternal as well a maternal heritage, regardless of MtDNA or Nuclear DNA is tested. It does not matter what religious belief system you have, they all believe in some type of guiding hand in our evolution or creation. With that in mind, a one sided representation (paternal or maternal line) of the genetic history makes no sense. When the say that 97% of our genetic material is the same as a Chimp (I believe this is the correct monkey), how are they comparing? I know we have different number of Chromosones and more paired sequences. Similar comparasions are made between humans and fruit flies. All that tells me it a lot of the genetic material would be in the "junk" DNA catagory and possibly carry our genetic blending and history. Enough of my rambling. Dick

Kathy, Thomas Wills was tested in our project. We had hoped he would match the Wells who were descended allegedly from Emanuel Wills/Wells of Isle of Wight, VA, but he came close to the W004 family (Thomas Wells/Abigail Warner). We do not know what this means at this point. Benjamin Wills was from Maryland cir 1787 Prince Georges Co., Maryland.

For the Wells project, we can not use your DNA yet. I don't know when that will happen or even IF it will happen. They (the Sorenson researchers) are still trying to work out the methodology and are not there yet. This is where the more dna samples they collect the closer they are going to come to perfecting this testing. BUT you CAN get your DNA tested as a female for the mtDNA (so can men). This is the unique DNA that is passed down from mothers to each of their children. Only the daughters pass it on because the men don't. It is possible, with some careful genealogy and testing, to use this mtDNA to identify maternal lines. But it is not as easy as the males. And it will not be applicable to the Wells DNA project.

You send no money to Sorenson. You simply send the sample, a consent form and the genealogy (gedcom preferred). If you then use the coupon to take advantage of the discounted testing at Relative Genetics, THEN you send them money only when you get their kit (swabs) and return it. Any Wells who does this needs to coordinate with me so we can make sure your results are included in the Wells project.

The Molecular Genealogy Project is more of a research project than a genealogy project. While genealogies are connected to the samples (no living individuals) it is not designed to be proving genealogies. So it has no connection to a surname or any other type of DNA project. Yes, they will accept the samples from ANYONE who has sufficient genealogy. You do not receive the results and the ONLY way you can find your DNA results is if you already know enough of the marker values to fish it out as I have done for all of our phase 1 participants who are in the database currently. The dna samples used in the Molecular Genealogy Project must be collected by them. They can not use results done elsewhere. The samples are separated from the contributor so there is no connection. Even if you find a DNA sample, you can not tell who it belongs to unless you can figure it out from the genealogy and even then you can't find them unless you do a LOT of research and put in the effort. In most cases you will not succeed. So it is very secure. For everyone's information, they are no longer using blood samples. They have a mouthwash collection system that I think they are the only ones using today. This collects more DNA material than the swabs used by the other labs and is superior to blood. So, yes, you will have to be re-tested. But it is pretty simple and, unless you have to pay for the return postage which I don't know, it will not cost you anything.

I would like to suggest to everyone, whether you are a Wells male or not, to get your DNA tested in the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation DNA research project. You will be contributing to the science of DNA testing, helping their project and possibly helping others who are looking for long lost cousins when they are able to connect to your DNA haplotype. This is open to both men and women. BUT, the hitch is you don't get the results of your DNA back from Sorenson. The Molecular Genealogy Project is the program through with we originally tested our phase I participants for the Wells DNA project. Most of them are now in the on-line database where you can search for matching DNA haplotypes (patterns) for y-chromosome. If you have your pattern, you can run a search. It takes them about 6 months from the time they get your sample to get you into the database. And I don't think they have the mtDNA data on-line yet. This brings us to the other part. Sorenson, for a limited time only, is offering a coupon to all participants (past and present) that is good for a $95 26 marker y-chromosome OR mtDNA test at Relative Genetics. I have talked Relative Genetics into allowing our project members to use the coupon $95 plus $40 to get the 43 marker test at $135 - a clear bargain!! 43 marker? Yes, they have decided that since Family Tree DNA keeps claiming that their test is a 37 marker test although it is actually less because some of the values are double values on the same markers, that Realtive Genetics might as well advertise that theirs is a 43 marker test. It is actually 37 markers that returns 43 alleles (values). In the reality since DYS464 is now revealing up to 6 values I guess you could call it a 45 marker test. Here is how it works. You sign up at Sorenson. They send you a kit. You send back the kit, a consent form and your genealogy. You MUST be able to provide AT LEAST 4 generations including yourself. They want more if you can provide it. This is not too hard for the first couple of generations - you, your parents and your 4 grandparents. I know there are some who can not identify their parents let alone grandparents, but this is a small group. If you are not able to document the full four generations, all is not lost. Read on. When you send back the kit they will send you a coupon for the Relative Genetics $95 27 marker test. You can either use this yourself or pass it on to someone else. That means we can use the coupons for those who can not make the 4 generation or more genealogy. But you can also use it to test a Wells cousin or any other surname cousins if you don't want to or can't use it yourself. What I would like to ask of you is that you let me know if and when you participate at Sorenson, get the coupon and how you use it. I want to make them aware of how many we send to them. If you don't want to use it, please send it to me and I will find someone who can use it. Everyone who has ever previously participated in the Molecular Genealogy Project can simply go to the website and request a coupon. A few or our participants are not in the data base yet and a few more are not there because either the BYU group was not able to get two samples (one for our project and one for the MGP project), didn't collect a second consent form or lost your genealogy. I will be notifying you all and asking you to submit a new sample so we can get you into the Sorenson database. This also serves as a shortcut for those who can't justify the 37/43 marker test cost at Relative Genetics. With the 26 marker test we can find your test results in the Sorenson database and extract the remaining markers - they do not test DYS464 (6 values) but that is only a minor problem. Now, if you are a Wells but someone from your family has already been tested so you have been reluctant to get your own DNA tested, do it NOW! We can then confirm that you match your cousins at no cost to you and we can collect more information on the mutations in various families. If you are not a Wells (some other surname but are here because you have Wells ancestors) participate yourself and encourage your Wells cousins to participate. Here are the instructions on how to do this: Go to the following website and follow the instructions as I show them. http://www.smgf.org Click on "Participate" at the bottom of the screen Click on "Request a Free Kit" at the bottom of the next screen Click the link to read the consent form then return to the request page. Fill in the requested information on the request form and click on "Request Kit" They will send you the kit and ask for your Gedcom file or paper genealogy. The Gedcom/genealogy should be a full 4 generations or more. They are also interested in anyone who has ancestry documented in the 1800s even if there is a flawed branch or two. Orin R.

I am on the Ramey list also and received this email from another member. I just thought it may or may not be of interest. This was sent out Nov 20.....KIM This has been copied and pasted from an email i received: For those who haven't tested already, or have other folks they's like to test, I have some very interesting news (to me at least!) This summer, National Geographic launched a new project to map DNA around the world by collecting samples from indigenous folks all over the place! It's called the Genographic Project and it's led by Spencer Wells--the same guy that did that great PBS special called The Journey of Man. They hope to fill in the gaps in our knowledge of human migration, and have made a commitment to the groups they test to provide ongoing support for education and social programs (The Legacy Project). Anyone who wants to support the project can do so for $99. The cool thing is that for that $99 contribution, you're not only supporting the Genographic Project and the Legacy Project,. You get your own DNA testing done (12 markers), you get a copy of Spencer Wells' Journey of Man DVD, and you get a report telling you where you fit in the history of Human Migration. Now there's a good gift for someone! And to make it even better for us, the Genographic Project is using the same lab (U of Arizona) that FamilyTreeDNA is. This means that anyone who joins either project can upload to the other! If you've already joined thru FTDNA, it costs $15 which goes to the Legacy project. If you're new to NG's Genographic project, you can upload to FamilyTreeDNA (where our surname project is) for free and use all the tools available there. (You can upgrade markers from there also if you wish). While you'd probably get into our surname project a little faster by joining directly thru the project, I have to recommend the Genographic Project thru National Geographic as a starting place because of the Legacy Project and the worldwide database. You'll still get into our surname project (as long as you hit the little button authorizing it) but you'll be doing some good along the way! Hope this helps some of you who've been "on the fence" about testing. National Geographic certainly adds an element of legitimacy--and goodwill--to the idea of DNA testing for genealogy. Incidentally, may I heartily recommend the International Society for Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) as a free resource for folks who want to learn more. There are local chapters that have meetings, and a Yahoo group online. And it's all free...
