Several members of this group have traced their families back to the early 1800s. We will be able to see if we have common ancestry, and furthermore, narrow down the year of which two people had a common ancestor using the newer Y-DNA67 test and the mt DNA Plus (high resolution Maternal Match) test. We will know which families may be more closely related to others. We feel that this will help us to better understand and to be able to proceed much more efficiently with our research. Also, this will enable us to formulate a map of the paths that our ancestors took over the centuries. It would be extremely interesting.

Note: The group has decided to all use the Y-DNA67 test (male 67 marker paternal test (group)and/or the mt DNA Plus (high resolution Maternal Match) test). Please e-mail the group administrator, if you have any questions or comments.

We are also working with World Families Network. In this fashion, we are able to view ancestral charts combined with DNA results. Please go to the website:
