Hello! I was born in Columbia, TN and have lived in TN almost all my life, except for 3 years in Peru, South America. I'm a 6th generation Tennessean and have a great great grandfather and a great great great grandfather that both fought in the Civil War. Trying to get beyond my great great great grandfather at this point. His name was John Bolton and I have very accurate original source information regarding his death, but not his birth or his family lineage, where he was from etc. He's my brick wall at this point! Any help would be appreciated!!! Thank you.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Chris or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Chris:

- New member introducing myself Jun 29, 2022.
My name is John Kingman. I am a Coordinator with the WikiTree DNA Project.
When you have your part of our One Big Tree fleshed out and you are ready to supplement it with DNA test matches, please check out the DNA Help category page to see all the DNA help that is available, and the How to Get Started page in particular.
You may see some relatives show up in your list of "DNA Connections" on your profile if they have added a DNA test to their profile. These DNA Connections are possible DNA test matches, they are not sufficient for marking parental relationships as "confirmed with DNA" without providing a DNA Confirmation source citation providing details of the DNA match.
When you are ready to start documenting that your genealogy sources are confirmed by DNA test matches, be sure to follow the guidance at the DNA Confirmation help page. A profile should not be marked "confirmed with DNA" without source documentation for both genealogy and DNA test matching. Also, please try out the DNA Confirmation Citation Maker, I strongly recommend it for creating and/or validating your DNA confirmation source citations.
If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to ask on the G2G Forum using the Tag "DNA" and/or "DNA_Confirmation".
Happy hunting!

You mentioned that you "new to this." I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point. Take your time, keep track of sources, and ask questions. Check here for tips.
