Biography

Jane (Murtishaw) Lindsey is a member of the Nowell Name Study Project.

I first became interested in genealogy when my aunt published two books on my mother's family lines in the mid 1970s. I got serious about it when I logged on (via dial-up modem!) to Prodigy - the first online service with a graphical interface. One holiday weekend, probably about 1987, I logged into their genealogy forum. Looking at some of the posts, I found that my ancestors and my husband's ancestors knew each other in the 1700s. This later turned out not to be true, but it was interesting. I posted a query and quickly got an answer. Then another. Many of us stayed up most of the night chatting back and forth on dial up internet. I had found new friends and new interests and thought that Prodigy genealogy was always this exciting. Later I found out the reason it was so busy that night was that forum had been given free access for the night. It was not always that busy because it usually cost too much. But I was hooked!

DNA

Paternal and maternal relationships are confirmed with Family Finder matches between Jane and her two brothers that predict we are full siblings: Wesley Murtishaw matches 2510 cM and John Michael Murtishaw matches 2502 cM.

Hi Jane,

It has been a couple of weeks since we contacted you about your participation in the Southern Colonies Project. As we haven't heard from you, we are following up to make sure you wish to remain a member.

We understand that interests shift as we grow our shared tree and that some members may have moved on to projects more pertinent to their ancestors. If this is the case for you, please let us know.

If we do not hear back from you within the week, we will assume you have moved on to other things for the moment and remove you from the project. Please know that you will always be welcome to rejoin should your interests shift back in this direction.

Thank you so much for your participation; we genuinely appreciate it.

Hi Jane,

On behalf of the US Southern Colonies Project Leaders, I am doing a six-month check-in with members to see if you were Active in US Southern Colonies?

1) Have you joined other Southern Colonies Subprojects, such as Southern_Pioneers Project. Or other projects?

2) Your activity in Southern Pioneers Project. Do you want to retain the Southern Colonies badge?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey Jane, We're apparently 15 cousins 3 times removed . I long stretch, I know, but I had found you through a DNA match which is kind of cool because it confirms a rather ancient ancestor we both had listed in our family trees. ( John Throckmorton MP )

On my 23&Me relatives I also have a match for a John Michael Murtishaw ...4th to distant cousin. Just curios if he is on your radar also ? Thanks, Mike

Jane, we are genetically matched. I'm curious why I don't show up on the DNA list for Gov Thomas Brooke but I show up in the list of his son. I'm new to Wiki.....

So glad you are here! Have you DNA tested your line of Brewer forefathers?

We also have a Brewer One-Name-Study to assist you with your research.

If you have not done so already, please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include Brewer & any other tag terms that you wish to follow.

Hi Jane - Unfortunately, no. But that is a great question and something I should have mentioned to you earlier. I'm aware of as many as three other Little families that were itinerant, or preceded my William Little line. There was a colonial Alexander Little who married a Boggan daughter, and if I recall correctly a Jacob Little, etc. I used to search documents in the Anson County register of deeds office and I do remember seeing deed references but not so many wills connected to these other families.

There is a researcher in Anson who knows how to search these records. He presently works part-time with the Anson Historical Society in their offices. His name is Steve Bailey but we should discuss before you engage him.

Welcome to the DNA Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:DNA

Please make sure each bit of DNA test information is added to the actual test participant's profile, not someone else's like your own. To make cousin connections, WikiTree needs to see the FamilyTree tab. Check that your Privacy on your profile is set to "Private with Public Family Tree" as a minimum. (Living minors should have an Unlisted privacy level.)

Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include DNA and other terms on the (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

As you add your family lines and connect to the big WikiTree, you may find new cousins. Use the Relationship calculator to see if you are related to me, Cooper-1 with http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Relationship
