It appears that two of Pleasant Wilson's older siblings were born in Kentucky. My guess of where Pleasant was born would be Clay Co. Beverlee

My father is a WILSON male living in New Zealand. Descended from WILSON'S in Monmouth, NJ. What are the chances of getting a DNA sample taken here & sending it out to the States? Is this a viable proposition or not? Megan Wilson-Scott

Megan, Sending a sample from New Zealand to the U.S. should pose no problem. The only difference is that the overseas shipping cost will be a tad more.

Thanks George. I have already heard from Steve, and he provided all the info that I need, for now. Again, Thank you. Harold in Florida

The point of contact for the Wilson DNA is Steven J. Zuraff at e=mail sjz1@earthlink.net George

Some folks might appreciate that as a "unique" gift for a special event - birthday, Christmas, other....

Who is the point of contact for test kits, testing procedures, and cost involved? I have a Wilson cousin who is a direct male ancestor of a Wilson family that lived in the Bedford/Campbell County, Virginia before coming to Ohio in 1800. The family, according to my grandfather and great grandfather, came from Scotland. My grandfather was so proud of being Scottish, that he gave himself a middle name of Scotland. He signed his name on everything as "Charles Scotland Kincaid Wilson." I would love for this cousin to do the DNA test. He is the closest male Wilson relative that I have, since my mother was a Wilson. Thank you, Harold McDonald Cantonment, Florida

Another question. My dad is gone but his brother is still alive. Their grandmother was Amanda Jane Wilson daughter of John/Jonathan Wilson. Would my uncles DNA help at all. My Wilson's are from Edwards, Wayne and White Co. Il. My dad always said we we Scot-irish. Geri Cullison Lilley geri@beecreek.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven J.

The 17th should be getting his results back this month. He's our first European participant. He lives in Scotland. That means he has an all Scottish ancestry. It will be interesting to see what his results are. > The biggest surprise so far is the amount of variation in the Y-chromosome markers among our participants. Recall that we analyze each participant's Y-chromosome at 12 or 25 specific markers on the chromosome. (So far all our participants have opted for the 25 marker test which has better resolving power than the 12 marker test.) As a rule of thumb, if two individuals match at 24 or 25 of the markers analyzed, then they probably have a common Wilson ancestor within a genealogically measurable time frame (although that could be as far back as 40 generations). Sometimes a match at 23 of 25 is also indicative of a relationship. Under certain circumstances, a match of 22 of 25 markers might be indicative, too. But a match for any number less than 22 of 25 suggests that there is no common ancestor. That appears the case for most of our participants. Except for a group of three who are known to be distantly related and another group of two who are second cousins, all our participa! > nts have fairly unique Y-chromosomes. This suggests that the Wilson name has multiple independent origins. Some might be Scottish or Scotch-Irish. Some might be English. Some may have had ancestors who merely adopted the name Wilson. Most of our participants don't know where their immigrant Wilson ancestor came from. That makes it hard to draw conclusions. Presumably nearly all the Wilsons in the Shenandoah Valley--and especially those in Augusta County, VA--in the mid 1700s were Scottish or Scotch-Irish. I would like to see more participants with known ancestors from that area to see if any trends stand out. We'll compare these with our Scottish participant. But if your Wilson ancestor is not from that area, don't let that discourage from participating. > > Steve Zuraff > Wilson DNA Project Manager > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "George Wilson" <gwwilson@webtv.net> > To: <WILSON-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 6:40 PM > Subject: Re: [WILSON-L] DNA Project > > > > Contact Steven J Zuraff at > > sjz@earthlink.net for the Wilson DNA project.

I am looking for the ancestors of Thomas WILSON b. 1831 in PA. His mother was Harriet ____ b. 1804 PA. His children were Morris WILSON b. abt 1852, Harriet V. (Hattie) WILSON b. 1854 who married James T. KENNA, Edward WILSON b. abt 1856, Catherine WILSON b. abt 1858, Mariah WILSON b. abt 1862 and Susan (Suzie)V. WILSON b. abt 1864 Walt Jones Spokane WA waltrjones@omnicast.net

The two necessary requirements for a participant are (1) that he be a male (because it is the Y-chromosome, which only males have, which is analyzed). (2) that his surname be Wilson. The theory behind this (or any) surname project is that the Y-chromosome is passed unchanged from father to son down through the generations. Thus the Y-chromosome follows the surname, which comes through one's all male lineage: father, paternal grandfather, father of the paternal grandfather, etc. After so many generations there may be a mutation at a marker on the Y-chromosome, so that a son's Y-chromosome becomes be slightly different from his father's. In that situation a son and father would match at only 24 out of the 25 markers which are analyzed. All of the son's descendants carry this new mutation. The more generations which have passed, the greater the chance for more mutations. Eventually, say after a millennium or two, the Y-chromosome could become sufficiently different from his ancient ancestor's that we can no longer recognize a connection. In your case, Geri, your uncles wouldn't do as Wilson DNA participants because they no longer have the Wilson surname and consequently do not carry the Wilson Y-chromosome. You would need to find a living male Wilson who descends from Amanda's brothers or paternal uncles.
