Joe,
Yes, I think I may sign up for that soon too. I'm trying to get my dad to
participate on the DNA test. I'm interested in what you find out. Keep me
posted.

Dear Bonnie,

All the best

I, too, am in the same boat as you as our West line died out with my Grand Uncle James M. West as he had an only daughter, Trunella West, b. bef. 1920 in Memphis, TN. My Grandmother was Pirley "Pearl" Andrew West, b. 22 Sep 1875 in Water Valley, Yalabusha Co., MS, d. 1956 in Tacoma, Pierce Co., WA, m. 20 Feb 1898 in Holly Springs, Marshall Co., MS to Arthur Augustus Manning, b.

Hello Edith Gomez:
I do not know Walter Turner, who you say is descended from William
West b.1823 in TN and d. in Marshall Co., MS, but he sounds like someone I
should meet if you know how to contact him. I know there were other Wests
in Tippah and Marshall Counties around the mid-1800s, but I have not been
able to connect any of them to my family. And I am sorry, I cannot help you
with your request for information regarding James Madison West. Thanks for
your help. I have not yet made the
Joe,
I'm not sure if any of this helps in any way. But I just looked through all
the info I found (census records, wills, etc) and just mentioning any Thomas
West's I found and the little bit of info that I have on them.

Hello Mark West:
Thank you for the Thomas West information you sent. Hopefully I can
someday make the connection somewhere. Yesterday I went ahead and signed up
for the West DNA test with the hope that it may open some doors. Thanks
again.

Dear Patricia
My West family originated in Leicester, England, where Henry West was a
foundry worker in the 1830's & 40's, and where there were also many other
West families in the county of Leicesterhsire. I have noticed your West
family in London, although as yet I have been unable to find any connection.
I am looking for any mention of a Henry Robert West, who arrived in
Australia as a private citizen, but under some sort of cloud, most likely
during the 1890's. He left a wife behind in Suffolk, Engla
It doesn't fit with anything I have.

Thanks Mark, for your reply. My guess (from reading Internet postings and
minute research on my part) is that the Isaac West from SC is one that gets
confused with the Isaac West of Lincoln Co by many researchers. The others
are probably descendants of Isaac West of Lincoln Co.
I was hoping that some descendant out there could give me an approximate
birth date and a listing of children based on real sources as you have done
for the individuals in your previous post. Up til now all my research has

Hi, I am seeking further information on my ancestor Robert West, born Sept 27, 1775 in Fairfax, Virginia, moved to Ohio to Clermont and Clinton Counties. Married to Henrietta Fairfax, born abt. 1795 in Virginia.
I am seeking help on his ancestors beyond what I have learned-- that his father was Thomas West and mother Sarah Trammel. I have to offer what I have gathered on his descendants and also photos of his headstone at Lees Creek, Ohio.
There is much on the Internet on his connections to the De La Wa

Joe West,
You must be related to Walter Turner who is descended from William West b. 1823 in TN and d. in Marshall Co., MS. Walter and I have been trying to connect our West families. I descend from James Madison West, b. Aug 1818 in TN and d. shortly before 1920 in Marshall Co., MS. My Grand Aunt Ada Mattison (West) Preher was living with Walter's Aunt/Grand Aunt Josephine West when she died in 1956 [I think] or 1959 in Marshall Co., MS. James Madison West married Amanda Jane Ragsdale Dec 1866 in Har
After reading postings on this site they seem to be all American but I am asking you all anyway for your help.I am looking for Eliza Charlotte Banister who married Frederick West in 1880 in Marylebone . I have a part record for her in 1861 at the age of 3months and what I want is to trace her until she married I know she appears on the 1861 London Census with her parents and sister but I cannot trace any more so if any one can help I will be most grateful.

Hello Mark West:
Do you have any further information regarding the Thomas West of
Rutherford County, NC, who had sons William and Isaac, that you mentioned in
your February 15th letter to the "list"? My great grandfather, William
Berry West, died in Marshall County, Mississippi about 1887. Census records
indicated he was born in Tennessee in 1823, and later census records
indicated both his parents were born in North Carolina. Since William Berry
named his firstborn son "Thomas" (actually, J

Etna, Fabel, Edith, and others,
I really wish I had a positive answer, but the only way
this test can be pursued is to find a living male who
has the surname WEST from your line. In Edith's
case, and many others, when she finds that person
she will have crashed one of her brick walls, because
she knows that her James WEST has no living male
descendents with the WEST surname. When she
finds the parents of James WEST, or the name of
one of his brothers, she can follow that line forward
to see if there

I do not have a male living West surname relative, but is there any way I can
find which line my West relatives fit in with.

As far as I can tell (and I am in the same boat) is just tying to your line
link by link...once you tie onto a family who has done the DNA - than I
think you are pretty safe.
There are no living West males in my line. So...I guess I'll ask you where
your West's link.
The last link for me was my grandmother, Jessie Belle West (Willbanks), her
parents were Sarah S. Webb and Thomas Conley West, Thomas's parents were
Jeffrey & Ollinda Smith - does any of this sound familar?
