How to send RADKE DNA results to you

MarilynGreene1962 — 2013-05-23 23:24:06Z

I see the original announcement about this project was made in 2008. I recently had my father's DNA tested, but I used Ancestry.com's testing service. How can I send you those results and be a part of this project? I went to the link provided, but I don't have a kit number, username, or password.

Re: DNA - Johnston - Iowa 1840's

S_H999 — 2013-05-23 02:11:53Z

Sorry, but those are not the Johnston's I have.

Is Catherine's maiden name also "Johnston"?

The Ohio records have several for a marriage of a John Johnston to a "Catherine":

John Johnston b. abt 1800 Ireland/Catherine Johnston b. about 1812 PA on 1850 census in Washington, Van Buren, IA in 1850. Daughter Sarah married Edwin Woolverton in Monroe County in 1868. Sarah died in Taylor County, IA in 1883. Sarah was born 12 Aug 1840 in Carroll County, OH.

Any information you have would be great!

S_H999 — 2013-05-22 04:52:35Z

Any particular family of "Johnston" in a particular county in Iowa you are interested in?

I am descended from two lines but I think the earliest were in the 1850s.

Since Iowa didn't become a state until just before the 1850 census there are probably some holes in the records from the 1840s.

"If you are a man named Phillips or some variation thereof and you live in the UK, Ireland or elsewhere in Europe, you may qualify for a free yDNA test if you are willing to provide a five generation Phillips lineage. Please contact us if you are interested."

Re: Stansbury DNA project, Josiah of Southampton

KStanbary — 2013-05-12 20:17:11Z

So we are still looking for males willing to participate in the Y-Dna project. This would have to be males who carry the surname Stanberry/Stansbury/Stanbury and other variants. Currently there is no proof that meets genealogical standards that connects Ezekiel Stansbury of Greene County Tennessee to a mother or father. Those ancestry trees that connect him to Nehemiah of Morris Co. New Jersey are based on no more than a guess. A DNA surname study would provide evidence that might help to support a connection to either Detmar of Maryland or Josiah of Southampton. If you know of anyone willing to participate in the study, please contact me.

Stansbury DNA project, Josiah of Southampton

KStanbary — 2013-05-09 15:04:58Z

We are looking for male descendants of Josiah of Southampton to do Y-DNA testing and join the Stansbury DNA surname project. The hope is that we can compare Y-DNA results for descendants of Recompense and descendants of Ezekiel of Greene County, Tennessee as well as the Solomon and William Stanbrough from Greene County, Tenn., eventually settling in Ohio and Indiana. The results can be used, combined with traditional genealogy methodology, to determine the father of Ezekiel and the relationship between the Stanboroughs of New Jersey with the Stanboroughs/Stansurys of Tenn/Ga/Ohio/Ind with evidence that meets genealogical standards. Prime candidates are any males who are possibly direct male descendants.

Re: Stansbury DNA project, Josiah of Southampton

I have information on direct male descendants if you are still looking. You can contact me at jade.eyez@yahoo.com.

Re: Descendants of Abraham Venable/Davis

charlesscottparker — 2013-04-10 17:21:58Z

If you go to Chapel Hill, Home of The University of North Carolina, you will find a number of Buildings or Halls with the Venable Name on same. These Venables are directly related to Colonel Charles Scott Venable, Aide D'Camp to General Robert E. Lee, or as the Same Professor Charles Scott Venable, Head of the Math Department at The University of Virginia, One time President of UVA (They rotated this position to various Department Heads) Prof. Venable also wrote a number of Math Books of which I possess a couple. His 1st love was U.N.C. He was born in his Longwood Estate in Prince Edward Co., VA, His Father was Nathaniel E. Venable b.12-05-1771 & his Grandfather was Brig. General Charles Scott, of Forkland, Halifax Co, VA and later Gov. of Kentucky 1808-1812, Abraham Venable I came from Chester Co. England to New Kent Co. VA in 1683. Abraham Venable II b.03-22-1700 settled in Goochianel(sp?) Co., VA.Served in The House of Burgess in Louise Co from 1742-1762, Married Martha Davis 1723. continues...

Re: Descendants of Abraham Venable/Davis

sandypoet2012 — 2013-04-10 06:26:11Z

Scott: There has been many updates in DNA research and certain markers in certain loci can tell if someone is related through a common ancestor, male or female, and the amount of DNA at that Loci can tell within a generation or two, how far distant the relationship is. I found a 2nd cousin through one of my ancestrl lines and we have communicated. I found a fifth cousin the same way through another of my ancestral lines. And, I have found MANY distant cousins who are from early (1600's-1700's) common ancestors, especially my Hawley and Stowell lines who migrated to New England in the early 1600's. That our families split in the 1700's to form different branches with different names tends to be verified by the "distant" cousin status. My grandfather, John WIlliam Oliver was the grandson of William F. Oliver (1790 NC-1854 GA) and Mary Venable (1800 NC-1860 GA) who were married in Savannah, Georgia in 1814 and are buried at Gravel Hill Cemetery in Pooler, Georgia. If I could get a venable to take the family finder DNA test who knows his Venable ancestry, I could determine which Venable line I come from, without knowing exactly who Mary's parents were. I know there were Stokes and Surry NC Venables but I can not find a Mary b.1800. I am willing to pay half of the cost.

Re: Descendants of Abraham Venable/Davis

charlesscottparker — 2013-04-10 04:09:42Z

Sandy (I hope I am using your first name--I go by Scott):

I have no idea as to the meaning of the family finder DNA tests. I understand the purpose of same, but I did not know that the DNA data could be in different lines over the number of years and stretched out lineage would still apply. Our Ancestors had quite a lot of issues(Children) and trying to draw or form a tree was impossible for me to make a meaningful tree. I learned early on that I would try to make a tree that concerned direct family ties. I did spend hours at a library in Houston, Texas, that was specifically set up for this type of study. This was back in the early 1970's before the Bicentennial Celebration. My wife Barbara and our two Sons were able to be in Washington, DC to enjoy the fireworks and see the actual original Constitution and Bill of Rights on display. We went to the Archive Building about 3:30am to avoid long lines. I did have some conversations with some of the persons that assisted me in Virginia, Boston, Iowa, and North Carolina. After the Bicentennial I pretty well stopped trying to expand same. I gave a copy of my work to the Houston Library that I used and is still open the last I heard. The name escapes me, but I will find it out if you would like. I will also check as to the cost of reproducing the large chart that accompanies lines back to England. If I get the time, I might try Ancestry.com. Best of Luck to you Cousin(?). Scott

Re: Descendants of Abraham Venable/Davis

Thanks Linda for getting in touch with me. It has been what - about 50 years since we last spoke - when you came down to Venezuela when I was in high school. I never knew that we had an O'Brian in our tree. Where are you living now? Still in PR? A few years back I really wanted to get a copy of your father 's book - Battaan (sp?) y La Marcha de la Muerte but could not find a copy anywhere online. Here in New Mexico, there are several Battaan war vets that would have lived to have read it. I am a conga player in an all-female band as well as playing with a guy named Jose Salazar(guitarist). You can see us on youtube if you type in Jose Salazar playing Smooth or Jose Salazar playing Night in Granada, etc. tell me please what you need from me. Thanks!!!

Hi Lonnie!
How is the project going? I'm still working on DNA trying to find the biological ancestors of David Brazille Plunk b 1880 AR and raised by William Henry Plunk and Sophia Angeline Niswonger.

I'm using Y DNA of two of his great grandsons as well as autosomal DNA on myself. No luck yet, but I'm ever hopeful!

Re: Update: Smith DNA Project - Over 1600 participants now, 179 matched groups

debh_1 — 2013-03-30 18:10:19Z

The upload is for YDNA tests. If you did that for Ancestry (or most of the other vendors) then you will have a haplogroup and YDNA markers and a reference #, usually starts with an A or a 9. We don't compare autosomal tests, but you are welcome to come post your lineage on the tree part of the site regardless.

Re: Update: Smith DNA Project - Over 1600 participants now, 179 matched groups

Looking at the site and I'd like to upload my information from my Ancestry DNA test. But, I don't see an upload capability for the raw data. I do see an area to enter specific marker information. But, the field headings don't seem to make any sense or correlate to anything I've been given for results. How do I know what pieces of information to enter where? Also, when it asks for kit#, what do I use? Simply the order number from Ancestry? Thanks for any further information. I have DNA results to upload for myself and my father and would love to see what kind of results I could get.

vhclem — 2013-03-29 17:36:14Z

Have any direct male descendants had their DNA test done, and if so, would you share your haplogroup? THere are many proposed lines of ancestry for him. Hopefully, not that DNA testing is being done by more individuals, we can figure things out.

I know that many people have used other companies, but there is an Adkins project on ftDNA that has many Adkins lines listed, so we have a growing database to compare to.

Descendants of Abraham Venable/Davis

sandypoet2012 — 2013-03-25 02:45:04Z

Has anyone from this line done the Family Finder YDNA project test? It is for anyone, male and female, and finds cousins based on DNA from first cousin to fifth. If anyone from this line wants to take this test, I would be willing to go half as I am curious as to which Venable line I am descended from:

Mary Venable (1800 NC per census)-m-William F. Oliver om 1814 in Chatham County, Georgia.

James WIlliam Oliver (1822 Chatham Co, Ga) married Mary Dudley

(Children married Brantley and FOuntain in Chatham County, Ga)

John William Oliver (1853 FLA) married Inez Stowell

Edgar ray Oliver (1891 Ga) married Ella Frances Payton

Edgar Foster Oliver (1917 Ga) married Marie Miranda Johnson,

THENME

I have found cousins from families that intermarried with the Venables descended from Abraham and Davis. Could be my Mary is from the same line.

If you are interested, please email me and I will send a check to FamilytreeDNA for my half. If you have, by any chance taken the YDNA test for this line, maybe you will not have to submit another sample.

Thanks: Sandra Oliver Becker

I've started a new project that will focus exclusively on the Y-DNA haplogroups in Greece. If you can trace your paternal line to Greece, feel free to join. FTDNA is still offering 12-marker tests for only $39, but there doesn't seem to be any word on when this will end. I would highly encourage anyone who's even mildly interested to take advantage of this sale.

Please help to spread the word. The Greece Y-DNA Project can be found here: www.familytreedna.com/public/Arcadia

Re: Wheatley DNA Project

Yes, the project will happily include the surname Whiteley. Having your father DNA test is a good way to determine if you have connections to other Whiteleys not only with the Wheatley Project but throughout the large database of the testing company. If you like, I will be happy to place your Whiteley pedigree on the Wheatley DNA Project Patriarch Page. You don't even have to DNA test to do that.
Please contact me for more details. I will be happy to help you in any way I can.

Re: Wheatley DNA Project

suewhiteley178 — 2013-03-15 03:54:18Z

I am a Whiteley, and I would like to have my Dad do a DNA test to prove our line connects with Joseph Whiteley Sr. of Russell Co. Virginia in the late 1700's. I am wondering if this is possible. Are there already DNA projects out there for that line? My line traces back to John B. Whiteley born in Russell Co. VA in 1802, and I believe he is the son of Joseph Whiteley Jr. & Franky Lea, and Joseph was the son of Joseph Whiteley Sr. who came with his father from Whitehaven, England as a boy. There is a record in Russell Co. VA showing Joseph Whiteley Jr.s children John & Polly 'orphans' being indentured out as apprentences at a young age. I believe this is my John Whiteley, as family tradition said his fathers name was Joseph Whiteley Jr.
Does your project include WHITELEYS? If I ask my Dad to do this DNA, I don't know what to do from there, so I am hoping there is already some DNA testing done for that large well known Whiteley family descendant from Joseph Whiteley Sr. & Sarah Stappelton.
Can you give me any advice???
Thanks Sue

Re: DNA Test (Samuel New of Maastricht, Holland)

trippfitz — 2013-03-14 20:56:03Z

Yes, I am referring to to this Samuel New. I would like to know who took the test because I want to make sure the results are applicable to my gggreat grandfather's family. My gggreat grandfather was Stephen Florence New of Washington Co., GA, son of John Florence New. John was the son of Daniel McGuire New (the elder) who came to Washington Co., GA from Abbeville, SC. I have not been able to locate anything proving Daniel from Abbeville's descent from anyone. However, I would like to verify whether it was a descendent of Daniel McGuire New who took the test. I don't have to know the individual's identity. I just want verification of the common ancestor.

I believe that you are referring to Samuel New that came to Georgia from Holland back in the 1700's (I don't remember which year). If I remember correctly, his descendants settled around the Washington County, GA area. Is that the Samuel New that you are referring to? if so, check this link:

FREE mtDNA Test Available for Umbilical Descendant of Lydia (Adams) Larrabee, wife of William-3 Larrabee (Stephen-2-1)

Perry_Streeter — 2013-03-10 02:16:36Z

*FREE* mtDNA Test Available for Umbilical Descendant of Lydia (Adams) Larrabee, wife of William-3 Larrabee (Stephen-2-1)

The purpose of the “Dorcas (—) Andrews & Umbilical Descendants” Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Project is to develop a genetic “mtDNA signature” for Dorcas (—) Andrews based on mtDNA test results from multiple umbilical descendants. By comparing mtDNA from known umbilical descendants of Dorcas with mtDNA from her probable or possible umbilical descendants, we can confirm or refute theoretical or ambiguous lines of descent that have been developed through conventional genealogical research using indirect evidence.

Unfortunately, the mtDNA of Project Participant #1, a *PROBABLE* umbilical descendant of Dorcas (—) Andrews, and the mtDNA of Project Participant #2, a *POSSIBLE* descendant of Dorcas (—) Andrews, do not match. Thus, we need at least one more Project Participant to confirm if either the probable or possible umbilical descendant of Dorcas (—) Andrews (or neither!) is a biological descendant of Dorcas. A *FREE* Mitochondrial DNA test is available to the first candidate qualified to become Project Participant #3!

Dorcas (—) Andrews, wife of James-2 Andrews (Samuel-1)
