I graduated from Northwestern University in 2022 with an MA in Mental Health Counseling.
I'm particularly interested in exploring and confirming my links to the Lees of Virginia back to England, as well as finding out more about my Fochtman ancestors in Germany.
Other spellings of Fochtman I've seen on documents include Fouchtman, Fouchman, and Foughtman, among others. Perhaps the spelling variations have led to the difficulty in finding information, or maybe Fochtman is actually the derivative of another German spelling.
My research has also shown connections to various lines of European nobility and aristocracy.
It is also worth noting that I am not biologically/genetically a Lanham. That is my father's, stepfather's last name. His biological father's surname was Jolley.
My Palatine Migrant relative is Johannes Hans Georg "Hans" Schuck der Junger, my sixth great-grandfather.
Genetically, and across multiple testing services, I have the highest population percentages from England, Scotland, Germany, Wales, Scandinavia (Sweden, Denmark, and Finland), and Ireland, descending in that order. Trace DNA amounts have been identified from populations such as Burosho, Africa, East Asia, Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish, Romani, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Maternal Haplogroup: X2
Paternal Haplogroup: I-S2606
My father completed a 23andMe DNA test, which is what provided me with the Y-DNA haplogroup information. His results also showed Italian and Eastern European DNA, along with <1% Egyptian ancestry. I found this useful as my DNA did not show any of those populations, so it has helped add validity when I have found ancestors from those regions.

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz! Pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, thus coordinating with others is essential.
Please refer to the new recommended sources for citing Pre-1700s sources. when working on profiles of that time period.
For questions, just ask.
