Hello Everyone,
Attention to all Dabbs Males, even if your surname is different. My great-grandfather came to Texas and changed his name from Dabbs to Crutcher. My brother did the DNA test kit for me. If you think that you (I'm talking to the men) follow a male to male, generation to generation link with no breaks, just male to male on down the generations, then now is the time to do something. I would like to encourage everyone on this board to check into DNA testing at this web-site below! You ladies find your male Dabbs relatives and get them to do a test for you.
http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=DobbsBe sure to stay on this Dobbs page, because the other project listed with our Dobbs is Dobbins.
If you have a brick wall and no paper trail seems to exist, then DNA is the only way we are going to find out who and who not we connect with. After you have clicked the link above, scroll down to the bottom and you will see the price of a compbined Y-DNA37 and mtDNA test. This price of $119 + tax ($123) is a fantastic price compared to the price of just the one Y-DNA37 test ($169) without joining a project group!!!
Dobbs research members are joining every day. They are contacting people they know and telling them about this project. Because I am a member, everyday in my mail box I am reading about an average of 5 emails, week-ends more than that. These Dobbs researcher are interacting and "talking" about their individual lines.
Some of these "chats" are about a lot of the same lines we are researching but we have the surname with an "a" instead of the "o". Stan would think it was Christmas if we had a move of Dabbs researchers joining this project to see how or if we do indeed tie into the Dobbs surname, not to mention the benefits for us.
Brick walls could come crumbling down. Those ugly brick walls that we seem never to break through. If you join this Dobbs DNA Project, not only would you be matched with all the members of this project, but Family Tree DNA will contact you if you have a match with any of the 250,000 other people worldwide who have already had their DNA tested with this web-site.
We do not have a Dabbs Project, but Stan Bevers is the Administrator for the Dobbs Family Project. He is very knowledgeable about determining the results of people's DNA as compared to others who are members of a particular project! So what are we waiting for. Now is our time to do a mass DNA testing of the great name of DABBS. We have nothing to loose, but not finding out what is behind our Brick Walls.
Check this link out. See what you think!
