I actually deduced the ancestry haplotype in the Estes project very
early with very few participants. But as Phil said, it was because of
the extensive traditional genealogy that others who came before me had
done on the English Estes line.

We tested several descendants of Abraham Estes who came into Va in the
mid 1600s. His cousin, the son of his uncle also immigrated into the
Massachusetts area somewhat earlier. We also have a participant from
that line, so we could determine the couple uncertain markers for
Abraham with that information.

We they found a participant in England (through a fluke where someone
from another list's daughter was marrying an Estes whose father agreed
to participant) which allowed us to correlate and establish our baseline
even earlier.

Unfortunately, I have not been nearly so fortunate in my other lines.

Probably the ones who already had good paper trails.
