George had a brother Francis and two sisters, Elizabeth and Julia. Their father's name was either Joachim or Joseph Wells. Their mother's name was Elsie Woodard or Woodward. We believe Joachim/Joseph was from upstate NY somewhere around Cuyoga or Onondaga Counties. Through DNA tests we have found another branch of Wells that match, but have not been able to find a common ancestor. This other branch is 'stuck' at the same brick wall as our branch. If you are interested in more information, contact me directly robertlwells@hotmail.com By the way, Angeline's last name was Dennis. She, George and Olive are burried near Michigan Avenue in Denton, MI (Denton is just east of Ypsilanti)

Robert: Boy, this all sounds so familiar. I was helping a researcher (before my computer crash) and we found quite a bit of information on Joachim, his wife .. I thought her maiden name was Bunker / Bonker or something like that ... after Joachim died, she married a Samuel(?) Woodard or Woodward. My memory is like swiss cheese but we found most of the information around Albany Co., NY ... and another county in NY. Unfortunately I lost all this data with the crash, but maybe the BUNKER or BONKER name will kick loose some memories for someone else -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of robertlwells@hotmail.com Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 8:49 AM To: WELLS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WELLS-L] Re: George Wells This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

This is honestly the first time I have taken a look at the W037 vs W008 comparison at 37 markers. No way are they related. That just strengthens the need to get as many as possible up to the 37 marker level if we don't have collaborating genealogy. >-----Original Message----- >From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of >robertlwells@hotmail.com >Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 8:49 AM >To: WELLS-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [WELLS-L] Re: George Wells > >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Classification: Query > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SCWBAIB/4383.1 > >Message Board Post: > >A number of us have been working on this mystery for at least 10 years. >George had a brother Francis and two sisters, Elizabeth and Julia.

Yes, I see what you mean. I have seen several with just the 25/26 marker that they could go a couple ways ... but, the only way to separate is having the additional 12 markers.
