Nancy

The DNA test results match paper genealogy except that one who "thinks" he
is an Oyster Bay Townsend descendant appears not to be and one (me) who has
a solid paper trail to an Oyster Bay brother is off by 4 markers. So it
appears that there is something in my ancestry line that has yet to be
identified.

Thanks

Lew

How do they cluster in regard to the paper genealogy?

Eight test results have now been received for the TOWNSEND Surname DNA
project. Six participants claim descendancy from three brothers in
Oyster
Bay, Long Island, NY in the 1600s and four of the test results match for
all
twelve markers. But the two others mismatch these four by 3 and 4
markers
respectively.

Two other test results are for participants claiming ancestors in the
1700s
in North Carolina and the result indicate no linkage between these
ancestors.

More participants welcomed with any Surname spelling variation.

Comments welcomed.
