The proved research on my line only goes back to my GGrandfather William A. Syfrett who, in 1850, was 10 years old and living with his sister Ann, in the household of George Aaron. From information given by a member of the Orangeburg German-Swiss Genealogy Society, my line may go back from William to James W. then to John then Adam Syfrett. In my research I have seen connections to the Florida line and per Harold Syfrett (author of Syfrett book) we do have a connection. I have my DNA in the Orangeburg DNA group
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/OrangeburghSC/default.as... and if someone in Florida would submit a DNA test, we might be able to prove there are connections between the SC & Florida lines. I also understand some of the Florida and SC Syfrett's went to Texas and settled there.
