Genealogical Interests and Pursuits
There are several different priorities that I am working on at the moment. Those would be to publish the research in my possession, ensure that all the individuals in my tree are supported by sources, discover new connections, and break brick walls if possible.
As there are ancestors or relatives that I have a particular interest in learning more about they will be highlighted here:
Maternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between Chase Clift and his second cousin NW. Their most-recent common ancestors are their great grandparents, Robert Graham Wagner Sr. and Eva Elizabeth Riland. Predicted relationship from AncestryDNA: 2nd Cousins, based on sharing 227 cM across 13 segments; Confidence: Extremely High.
Maternal relationships are both confirmed by an autosomal GEDmatch comparison between Chase Clift , GEDmatch kit # AL8270600, and Living Denune, GEDmatch kit # GB7151136, his 1st cousin 3x removed. Their most-recent common ancestors are John Denune and Fannie Ferris, the 3x great grandparents of Chase Clift and grandparents of Living Denune. Predicted relationship from GEDmatch: 23andMe, based on sharing 86.7 cM across 6 segments.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships.
It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Chase:
Talked to my cousin, Dr David Denune MD today. He is son of Wilber Denune, son of perry denune, son of John Baughman Denune. He, like my sister, are working on a book of family memories. Anyway, David said he tried to join the Mayflower society (Deagory Priest) and though Ethel and Ina Denune were members years ago, they were rejecting some old proofs (Matilda Bancroft). WHen I get their letter to him, I'll send a scan, and send to you.
Dad did a dna test, 23 and me. I need to figure out how to upload it. I should get one myself. I really appreciate your work on the Scottish Denune line going back from Minister William Denune, and whenever and where ever it's published, I want to purchase a copy.
I'm beginning to understand wikitree and adding a few recent relatives to make it easy for them to link to the enormous work you have already done. 100+ years ago, my great aunt, Ethel Denune Young (sister of Elias Denune, father of Elias Earl Denune, Jr) began her work on our family. She initially thought Denune was a French name. Later she joined the Mayflower society, and Wurtz Magna Charta society. Her name is listed on his old (1940's) series of books as a descendant of every Surety. I managed to figure out all but deHuntingfield, and Mowbray (if I remember right). Rod Stuart, author of Royalty for commoners (the complete known lineage of John of Gaunt, son of Ed III) was a friend of mine, sharing a common interest in tuberculosis Christmas Seal collecting. He was the editor of Seal News, journal of the Christmas Seal & Charity Stamp Society for several years before he passed away. His last edition goes into Egyptian pharos, who may have had great records, but I have to wonder... Anyway, Just for fun, I added you as a Life member to Denune.org.
Good to see you on WikiTree! There's still much that I have to publish and am continuing my research into our Denune connexions. My most recent work has been on Rev. William Denune's profile, which has been fascinating. Further research has yielded some valuable sources, and I can't tell you how excited I am to get through the information and publish it. In many ways I've been building on the research that you have shared on your website. There are several Magna Charta lines that are under development & verification here on WikiTree, and I have found some of Ethel's research. Long term, my plan is to bring connexions to the present day. I look forward to collaborating and developing our common connexions & ancestry!
