DNA

DNA Ancestors View: http://www.wikitree.com/treewidget/Pierpont-94/89

I have been tested at both 23andMe and FamilyTreeDNA. The 23andMe test includes SNP test of yDNA, mtDNA, and auDNA. My FamilyTreeDNA test only includes 111 STRs on the yDNA.

Below, I have included a complete description of my SNP test results, along with the progression through that haplogroup tree. This is so that others can compare their haplogroup branch to my haplogroup branch. As long as we use that latest haplogroup trees, this should tell us how closely we are related (or not at all). This only works along Maternal or Paternal lines, but that may include thousands of people. This will allow us to find errors in the genealogy in WikiTree and also allow us to discover so-called "Non Paternal Events" (NPE)[1]

  • Mitochondrial DNA shared with:
Pierpont-94
Pierpont-100
Greene-1555
Covill-16

Hi Rick. In July of last year you added parents to John Robinson. I see the sources, for the birth, but couldn't quite make the connection to this being the same John Robinson married to Hannah Wiswall. Hannah is currently attached to two different John Robinsons. Can you take a look?

Rick my ancestors are from the Kemp-Camp and Campe and my records have that Mary Farmer Campe is one of my kin and was married to William Campe from England born in 1559 and married in 1584 in England . My source is from GEDCOM Ancestral files v4. 19 from the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Hi Rick. I see you've changed Elizabeth Gannett's profile recently. The possibility that she had a son William Leverett (by Hudson) is crucial to connecting our line to the famous governor of the colony. I'm wondering if that's what you added and, if so, where you learned it. Thanks!

Hi, Rick. Would you have a look at Elizabeth Evelyn? Sources say she was daughter of Sir John Eveleyn of West Dean who is Sir John Evelyn. See EVELYN, Sir John II (1601-85), of West Dean, Wilts. Too many John Evelyns!

HI. Me again. My gift for clarity seems to have deserted me. Found your name on the England project. I thought it would be helpful to have the information somewhere on the project. I suspect there are thousands of the certificates out there from pre-Ancestry days and it would be helpful if people knew they could post them. I know my collection will head straight to the tip when I pass on and they were expensive. Perhaps I should have talked to someone else.

Hi Rick. The subject of English BMD certificates has come up in G2G twice in the last year. "It is ok to post English BMD certs. See National Archives https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/information-management/reproduction-of-birth-death-marriage-certificates.pdf ." Could it help to publish the info somewhere on the England Project? I suspect that I am not alone in having thought that it was forbidden under copyright restrictions. Sorry if it has already been done, couldn't find anything.
