DNA Surname Project

From Burgess Surname DNA Project, Ancestral Burgess Families #2^[1]

"Edward Burgess III is the ancestor of James A. Burgess; John Burgess Sr. is the ancestor of Milo W. Burgess; Henry Burgess I is the ancestor of Donald L. Burgess and Michael R. Burgess and __ Burgess; Moses Burgess III is the ancestor of Robert C. Burgess and James S. Burgess; Edward Burgess IV is the ancestor of David A. Burgess; Thomas Burgess Jr. is the ancestor of Charles F. Burgess; King Hiram Burgess I is the ancestor of Jerry D. Burgess II and Richard R. Burgess.

Test results received from eleven representatives in this line confirm a genetic relationship between these seventh cousins; they have a common male ancestor, Edward Burgess Sr. of King George Co., Virginia. The markers also match the numbers of the descendants of William Burgess of Bedford Co., Virginia, and of William Burgess of Albemarle Co., Virginia; they have a common Burgess ancestor, name unknown.

These families are likely descended from Niall of the Nine Hostages (Niall Nóigiallach), a fifth-century High King of Ireland who died about 450 A.D., and who is believed to be the ancestor of 21.5% of the male population of Northwestern Ireland—and of roughly two to three million present-day males of various surnames."
