Does anyone know if there is a Gean Family DNA Project going? or is anyone interested in participating in one? You would have to be a male descendent with the surname Gean (including the various spellings) as I understand it.

Did you submit your DNA to different names? I guess what I am asking is were you alaready suspicious that you weren't a Jeans, but a Seymore...or was that a surprise?

I guess I am asking because there are some Jeans who married in to the Seymore family and it would seem possible that a descendant of that line might have DNA from both lines. At least if I am understanding the DNA correctly, and of course it is my understanding that it would be different for females than males, and the further the generations apart the less likely. (I guess)

Is there another company doing Jeans DNA testing already?

Sorry for so many questions, but this is still kind of new to me and I am trying to understand it all.

Thanks,
Mel

Hi Mel

i knew i was a Seymour from the moment i looked at the church records..

plus being handed the Family Bible which is 200 years old ..

my 4th grt grandfather was given the maiden name of Jeans because he was born out fo wedlock 4 years after his birth his true Father Married his mother he was a Seymour and there child my 4th grt grandfather was baptised the following year..
i had a DNA test untaken for my own personal reasons ...
if you check history and there is info online you will see alot of Seymour and Jeans family memebers came from france and they lived almost next to each other .the name jeans and others names connect with the same name came from the name John.
regards Howard.

The Name Jeans comes from the name John,Jen Jaynes Jane Jeans Jeanes ...so on and so on..

JOHN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAHN
English form of Johannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Éùáííçò (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ and a victim of beheading by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John, also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. The name has been borne by 23 popes, as well as kings of England, Hungary, Poland, Portugal and France. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke.

YAHWEH
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Theology
Pronounced: YAH-wah
A name of the Hebrew God, represented in Hebrew by the tetragrammaton ("four letters") Yod He Waw He, transliterated into Roman script Y H W H. Because it was considered blasphemous to utter the name of God it was only written and never spoken. This resulted in the original pronunciation being lost. The name may have originally been derived from the old Semitic root hwy meaning "to be" or "to become".




SEYMOUR

Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: SEE-mor
From a Norman surname which originally belonged to a person coming from the French town of Saint Maur (which means "Saint MAURUS").

MAURUS
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Ancient Roman
Roman name which meant "dark skinned" in Latin. This was the name of numerous early saints, most notably a follower of Saint Benedict

Where were your Jean and Seymore families from? We have Jeans and Seymores in Chatham County NC. They came from Charles City/Prince George County, VA.

You are the first person of these names that we know of who has done DNA testing.

Thank you for your reply Howard. Sorry not to have replied before but have been a bit under the weather. I guess you live near Stalbridge from past replies I have seen to other people. Would really like to know any information about the French connection of our Jeans family. I have traced my branch of the John Jeans b.1640. I see there are 5 sons Henry, Christopher, Bernard, John (my direct descendant) and Nathaniel (who I take to be your descendant) Have traced the line up to the present but working on all the other connections now.Hope to hear from you again soon.
