New URL for the Cowart-Coward-Cowherd Surname DNA Project

New URL for the Cowart-Coward-Cowherd Surname DNA Project

Surnames: Cowart, Cowherd, Coward
The new URL for the Cowart-Coward-Cowherd Surname DNA Project is:
http://bellsouthpwp2.net/t/h/themcbees1/Cowart-Coward-Cowher...

Hopefully, we can pull together many of the males in the family who are still with us to get answers about those who are not! Just like me, the females in the family can help by encouraging their male Cowart-Coward-Cowherd relatives to participate (I’ve ordered a kit for a Cowart cousin on behalf of my Cowart Family). With the 37 marker test, we can tease apart the different Cowart-Coward-Cowherd lines and I know that many of us would be interested in the answer to those questions. I hope that a lot of you will participate - it’s a small effort for a potentially big payoff for the family as a whole.

(* Please note this is not for profit – I have volunteered to do this as an amateur genealogist trying to find answers about my own, and my mother’s, Cowart family)

THANKS!

Hi Kerry,

The name changed at different times for different families, but the name progression seems similar for many of the lines. Some, of course, stuck with the original names. In my line, the name changed about 4 generations back (from Coward to Cowart). The change was much further back for Cowherd to Coward.

The purpose of comparing DNA is to try to use science to answer some of the questions that paperwork cannnot - the trails often go cold. It's just a way to try to get through some brick walls and to verify which lines are closely related.

We welcome your husband's participation - only through having more Cowart males participate can we really get any good answers!

I am a Cowart and my father is still alive as well as my two brothers, so what do you need. My father just did a DNA kit and we have the results.

I'm flowing this thread. My great grandmother was a Cowart from Mississippi. Don't know much about her at all, but in doing her lineage I saw there was the change from Coward to Cowart, and have always been curious about it as well. Not sure exactly when the change occurred, but looks like maybe three generations beyond her, with her great grandfather, Edward Coward, born appx. 1774 in So. Carolina.

My Cowart are from Mississippi. I believe Edward Cowart 1774 in S. Carolina is a great grandfather. I did my father's and my DNA but now it is gone. What do you know about it.
Still looking.

Thanks,
Deborah (Cowart) Lochridge
