Biography

Troy Gresham was an avid Gresham family researcher and privately published a manuscript of his family. He was always helpful to anyone who asked questions on the Query Boards and a generous mentor to any new person doing Gresham research.

For anyone interested in DNA ancestry, Troy's daughter and Tom Grissom were able to get his original dna sample upgraded to add him to the Big Y 700 Gresham Surname Project at FTDNA. He is helping us even after he is gone. You may contact Woody Hewitt, Coordinator for this project at FTDNA.

FTDNA Kit is 174412 and haplog is R-FT286509

Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree: It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Troy:

Hello,

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having. How is your experience with Wikitree going? If you have questions regarding Gedcoms, here's the link to the GEDCOM help category: GEDCOMS

Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles. The Help Index is also an important place to find how to do most tasks.

Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.

P.S. I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. Our process here is a little different than what you might find on other sites because of our goal of growing one worldwide tree with a single profile for each individual. Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process including screenshots that you might find helpful.
