I am interested in communicating with
cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
Here is my family tree.
I'm looking to break through the brick walls between my Puritan Great Migration (PGM) ancestor Henry Kingman (abt.1594-1667) (my eighth patrilineal great grandfather) and his English ancestors. I'm also stuck along my maternal line back into Germany past my great great grandfather George Babst (abt.1820-abt.1867).
John grew up in West Los Angeles, California, and has lived in North Carolina, Colorado, Connecticut, and Texas. All of these moves were made while John worked for IBM. John joined IBM in 1967 and retired from IBM in 1997.[1]
John is an avid Tesla owner has been driving Teslas and owning TSLA stock since 2013. Feel free to ask about Tesla vehicles, etc.
John is an agnate of Henry Kingman (abt.1594-1667) (click to see the relationship) the first Kingman known to have emigrated from England to America in 1634-5.
John is both an 8th great grandson and a 9th great grandson of Henry via his grandsons
Henry Kingman and
Samuel Kingman, respectively. Although Henry was only one of John's 512 theoretically possible 8th great grandfathers and 1,024 9th great grandfathers, John's surname and Y-DNA came from him. (The line from Samuel is not patrilineal.)
My detailed Haplogroup path is: R-M207>M173>M343>L754>L761>L389>P297>M269>L23>L51>P310>L151>P312>Z46516>ZZ11>U152>Z56>BY3548>Z43>FTE48906>Z145>BY1823>BY3951>BY3966[9]
Paternal Confirmations
Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Peter Kingman, YSearch ID D8NMD, and John Kingman, YSearch ID KFTAS, match on 37 out of 37 markers thereby confirming their patrilineal lines back to their Most Recent Common Ancestor, Henry Kingman (born 1701). John and Peter are 6th cousins (click to see the relationship).
Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA test results on Family Tree DNA. John Kingman, FTDNA kit # N145956, and his 6th cousin, Peter Kingman, FTDNA kit # (private), match at a Genetic Distance of 0 on 37 markers, thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is Henry Kingman, the 5x great grandfather of both John Kingman and Peter Kingman.
Paternal relationship is confirmed by an AncestryDNA test match between John Kingman and his niece Maile (Clark) Kaiser. Their MRCAs are John's parents and Maile's grandparents, Paul Henry Kingman and Cecile (Babst) Kingman.

MRCA: Unknown Kingman, b. in Somerset, England, most likely.
Y-chromosome DNA test matching confirms that Gerald Kingman (FTDNA kit #214925, YSearch ID YUH8Z, and mitoYDNA Kit T10826) and John Kingman (FTDNA kit #N145956, YSearch ID KFTAS, and mitoYDNA Kit T10429) most likely share a direct patrilineal ancestor in a genealogical time frame. Their results match on 33 out of 37 markers. Family Tree DNA estimates the probability that Gerald and John share a common ancestor within the last 16 generations is 78%, and within the last 20 generations is 91%. No MRCA has yet been determined as John's Earliest Known Patrilineal Ancestor is Henry Kingman (1594-1667) who emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1634/5 and is said to be of Frome, Somerset, and Gerald's Earliest Known Patrilineal Ancestor is George Kingman (1701-1748) of Farrington Gurney, Somerset, and probably extends to John Kingman born c1640 in Frome, Somerset.
Derrick Watson has contributed a diagram showing how our matches lead to our English patrilineal ancestors in Somerset, England, here.
Sean and Pamela are 3rd cousins once removed. (Sean tested on 23AndMe)
John Kingman and Bruce Byers are 4th cousins and share 58 cM across 2 segments. Unweighted shared DNA: 66 cM, Longest segment: 56 cM. (Ancestry) Bruce is descended from Forrest Waldo Byers (1899-1991), my 2c2r.

Thanks for correcting my DNA statement on my Holland line — I wasn't sure if the match was large enough to confirm both parents, whereas I could be sure of the mother.
Good evening John. Thank you for helping me understand how to properly do better research in regards of dna for the selected ancestors of my tree. I just need to meet with other cousins to see whether or not the ancestors would have the exact matches with the cousins or myself.
Thanks for your contributions to Puritan Great Migration (PGM) project profiles.
Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members periodically to find out about their continued interest in the project. Would you please respond by February 5, 2024, to let us know about your interest:
Would you like to continue as a PGM project team member?;
Do you have any suggestions for PGM Project priorities in the next year (optional)?;
Do you have interest in taking a more active role within the PGM project, and if so, what you might be interested in doing (optional)?
I've got my hands pretty full with the DNA Project, but I am happy to help with any DNA related issues you may encounter related to the PGM Project. So I guess I'm a relatively passive member of the PGM project at this point.
Thanks for your quick response, John, and we appreciate your expertise in the area of DNA. We always keep you in mind when DNA questions arise. Please continue on as a member.
Thanks for all your contributions to WT, and to PGM when applicable.
Hi, John! I don't see a communication process mentioned on the DNA Educators sub-project page. Where does the Confirmed with DNA sub-team coordinate their work?
I'm going to send the first message in a long time to our main DNA group asking for an educator to volunteer to look at the G2G posts on John Fleming (1697–1756) and perhaps lend a hand to Kevin.
It looks like Eowyn is seeking a leader for the DNA Educators, according to that page. It also seems that the Educators Team is leaderless.
As far as I can tell, the only people working on DNA confirmation are myself and Kay (Johnson) Wilson. We occasionally exchange emails about problematic profiles.
Are you responsible for the overall DNA project now? I didn't see your name on the DNA Project page. Do you have a communication process that includes the sub-teams?
I think It would be great if there were better coordination between the Innovators and the Educators. I feel like the DNA Project could use more some help from the main profile editing software in preventing simple things like setting "confirmed with DNA" on a profile before there is any genealogy or DNA source, for example.
Anyway, regarding the profile for John Fleming, I saw a recent G2G about that and it seems that Kevin wants help with X-DNA matches. I think Peter Roberts could be the one to help him, but he's not an "Educator". Maybe Edison Williams will chime in on G2G, I know he has made other posts on the subject.
Thank you for tidying up some of my DNA notations and reminding me that I must go back and clarify proper DNA confirmation source citations now that I have closer relatives with DNA on file to prove DNA relations.
John, I appreciate the link you left on one of my profiles to the automatic citation generator, I really do, but please just stop changing the status indicators on my profiles for one minute and tell me what the issue with them is so I can correct them. Was it the MRCAs?
The most common problems I've seen are either that the relationships of the members of a Triangulation Group are not all listed, or that you have neglected to include the MRCA of a match which includes an anonymous tester.
The DNA Confirmation Citation Maker can help you avoid these problems.
Thanks for letting me know - I do appreciate you showing me which profiles needed correction, and hopefully the auto-citer will make fixing them go more quickly.
Hi, I noticed that you changed the DNA confirmation status on some of the profiles I manage. All of them had a source citation - name/initials of the two people, their exact relationship, estimated relationship, and exact amount of shared DNA. Is there anything I was missing? As far as I’m aware, all of the profiles had proper citations.
Thanks for the information about how to confirm DNA on my tree. I have now deleted them all and am using the app mentioned to gradually add the confirmation on the child pages. So easy with the app.

Thanks for contributing to Puritan Great Migration profiles over the last six months. Every little bit helps, so please keep those edits coming!
Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members twice per year and it's that time again. Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:
If you'd like to continue as a PGM project team member
If you're happy with the team you're on (Research and/or Profile Improvement) or if you'd like to make a change
Optionally, what you like since the reboot back in May or what you think could be improved. This could be something about Discord, or Google Groups, or managed profile spreadsheets, or challenge participation or really anything. If you like everything the way it is, you can let me know that too :)
If you'd like to tell me about a particular project or family you're working on, I'd love to hear about that as well.
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you.
I've been pretty busy with the DNA project, so haven't been much help on the PGM project. I am happy to help if there are questions related to DNA confirmation.
2. Is there a benefit, more information garnered if I recognize my second cousin who has tested, say a Y (male) DNA test for a surname, ie Rucker. If I recognize him and use his Y test (somehow) to compare to mine...obviously I can't do a Y test, what would I garner in information and how would I go about doing that? HIs test is at ancestry and mine was an ancestry DNA test which I have posted to wikitree.
Your 2nd cousin's Y DNA test will help him confirm his Paternal lineage, but you cannot compare your test to his unless he also has autosomal DNA test results. If he has, and you match sufficiently, Ancestry probably shows that you match and you could look into DNA confirming your ancestry back to your great grandparents.
One more question John....Is there a benefit, more information garnered if I recognize my second cousin who has tested, say a Y (male) DNA test for a surname, ie Rucker. If I recognize him and use his Y test (somehow) to compare to mine...obviously I can't do a Y test, what would I garner in information and how would I go about doing that? HIs test is at ancestry and mine was an ancestry DNA test which I have posted to wikitree.
Thank you John, I am obviously new to this and did not, do not, completely understand what benefit, if any, testing DNA offers. I appreciate your time to instruct me to change the buttons on my profiles to confident until future time when I figure out why or when I would change those status indicators. It surely is NOT SIMPLE!

Hi my name is Caryn Im trying to out my dna results in wiki properly can you help me out Im ost why I dont have the personalised number it will also pop up and say that my test is outdated but its not ty Caryn
In regards to the YDNA connection to my most distant Price ancestor John Price Price-11136: The YDNA test was submitted by my male Price second cousin, Mike Price FTDNA kit 62659 in 2007. He is now deceased but gave me administration of his DNA kit. However, I am not comfortable providing more information.
Thank you for your DNA message. I'll have to look at the links provided better to figure out how to do the source. I'm not sure there are any cousins that have DNA on my Cherokee line for those pages, here on wikitree. I do have confirmation connection to multiple cousins to the same ancestors on Ancestry.
Hi! I posted a reply to Base Camp - here's a copy:
the project's goal is to have a project-approved (badged) trail from each Richardson-documented Gateway Ancestor (listed at Category:Gateway Ancestors. If you have someone you'd like to have included in the project, you'll need to show clear primary proof for each parent/child relationship between the pre-1700 immigrant to America and a surety baron (or a profile for someone who is documented by Richardson).
Folks who are working on trails for someone not documented by Richardson usually join the project as an Affiliate (no participation requirement to work on a Richardson-documented trail). To do so is easy. Just copy/paste this coding to your profile:

1. I am obviously new to this and did not, do not, completely understand what benefit, if any, testing DNA offers.
I suggest you take a look at the DNA overview and How to get started with DNA.
2. Is there a benefit, more information garnered if I recognize my second cousin who has tested, say a Y (male) DNA test for a surname, ie Rucker. If I recognize him and use his Y test (somehow) to compare to mine...obviously I can't do a Y test, what would I garner in information and how would I go about doing that?

Your 2nd cousin's Y DNA test will help him confirm his Paternal lineage, but you cannot compare your test to his unless he also has autosomal DNA test results. If he has, and you match sufficiently, Ancestry probably shows that you match and you could look into DNA confirming your ancestry back to your great grandparents.
Thanks again!
