Orin; I checked the DNA on ancestry, and wrote to Michael Wright. I have a distant cousin through Williams son that is coming out from Wisconsin. She is decended from my 2nd great grandfathers brother and a son of William. She has a cousin that we are thinking about having a DNA test done on him and see what comes up. How much is a DNA kit now? I've looked at the William Wells from Wellsville's genealogy and the given names match so close it is uncanny John, George, James, William, Mary, Sarah, Rebecca, Anne. But my William doesn't fit in anywhere it is so frustrating. I'm kind of embarrassed to question my cousin who is the source, and if there was any adoptions or hanky panky I don't know of it. LOL Thanks any how jim In a message dated 6/29/2009 5:29:49 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Jim, The two you cited from Ohio were from the "Little Wells" Family. This is W008 - one of the ones you don't match. There are a couple of possiblities when the DNA does not match. 1. You have an ancestor who changed his name, was adopted or resulted form a "roll in the hay". Unless you trip over someone else with a different surname who matches you, we have no idea if this is a possiblity. 2. This a Wells family we have not seen via any other descendent yet. Since we have not seen them yet, it is pretty hard to speculate here. But we do know that a LOT of different Wells families passed through Ohio - many still have descendents there. In fact, if you search in DNA.Ancestry.com there ARE some very close matches who are not Wells. Whether one of them has some meaning could only be determined by contacting the person who submitted the DNA for testing. The names I see are: Michael Anthony Wright - Perfect match Stuart Whiteeagle Ackley - one deviation Walter Wiley Chisholm - one deviation David B. Haynes - one deviation (same as Chisholm) There are several others who only tested at "33" markers that I wouldn't spend much time looking at. The problem with Ancestry is there are no indications of where the ancestors originated without asking the participant. If you are not sure how to check your DNA against the Ancestry data, write me off list and I will give you the username and password.

Current cost for the testing is $119 for being test through the group project. Plus tax and shipping. Don't be afraid to talk to your cousin. Just be honest with him and tell him we don't know if there was a mistake in the genealogy and try to verify whatever he can confirm. It may be whatever happened, if something did, it was far enough back no living member of the family will have a clue. If you can find another member of your Wells family who connects down a different branch than your cousin, that would tell us a lot. Assuming there was no hanky panky down that branch too. Either he will hit on a Wells family or he will match your other cousin. In either case the focus changes. It might get you closer to the correct answer.
