Biography

Status of Ancestry Information

The table (table format at Space:Table of Known Ancestors) below summarizes the extent of the information on my ancestry that is included in Wikitree. For the ten generations previous to mine, it shows the number of possible ancestors, the number of these ancestors who are currently identified/documented included in WikiTree, and the percentage of the possible ancestors who are identified here. Cumulative (overall) totals are also provided. Generations 9 and 10 are not up to date.

"Identified" ancestors include some with unknown last names at birth. It also includes some questionable identifications and people that I have not researched.

*There are several duplicates (people who appear on multiple branches of the tree) in these generations (see "Endogamy" section below for a list). These people are counted more than once in the numbers for both possible ancestors and identified ancestors. Cumulative numbers of distinct individuals in my WikiTree-documented ancestry are: 340 at generation 8, 560 at generation 9, and 914 at generation 10.

Endogamy

Autosomal DNA matching with me may be complicated by the number of ancestors who are represented in my lineage more than once. These distant ancestors' DNA may be somewhat amplified in my DNA. Also, if the same ancestor appears on different branches of my family tree, that may reduce the chance of triangulating a particular DNA segment to a particular common ancestor.

Identified ancestors appearing in multiple lines of my ancestry include (this list is not yet complete):

Generation 8

Maternal
Paternal

Generation 9

Maternal
Paternal

Generation 10

Maternal
Paternal

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Occurs once in Generation 8 and once in Generation 9
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Occurs once in Generation 9 and once in Generation 10

PGM
A wee bit more than half of my ancestral lines trace through colonial New England, and many of the "immigrant ancestors" arrived in the Puritan Great Migration from 1621 to 1640. I'm an NEHGS member and I've enjoyed researching this population.
PRE-1500
I can help fix errors or resolve other problems with early profiles.
PRE-1700
Research on early ancestors can be both richly rewarding and severely challenging.
US_HISTORY
Almost everything I do here is in the scope of the US History project, and I'm currently Project Leader.


DNA Tested
Ellen Smith's DNA has been tested for genealogical purposes. It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Ellen or other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • Ellen Smith: Mitochondrial DNA Test Other, haplogroup H1e
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share DNA with Ellen:
  • Ellen Smith: Autosomal DNA Test, GEDmatch EP9026105 + 23andMe, GEDmatch M162952

Ellen, you posted a message that I didn't see on Oakman-64. You will also see that there are a couple of related duplicates that I thought had been resolved, i.e., Collamore/Colamor.

I'm looking at how to fix it, but would appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

Can you complete the merge of 2 PPP profiles Lotman-2 into Lootman-1?

Thank Ellenyou you have detected an error that has been passed on for some generations. The name of the Town in Pennsylvania found by my ancestors appears to be slightly spelled differently than the actually family name. Will correct but might take some time.

Yes, indeed. I am looking for any male or person of whom might have the time and knowledge to guide me as to Howell Y-DNA connections in the area of North American eastern seaboard.

I am in NZ. I was unaware, until I took an Ancestry DNA test, that I had many DNA connections in this part of the world, Surrey, UK, the Channel Islands and NZ. I am the end of this NZ line I am interested in legitimately establishing our shared history. Many thanks for your reply, Kind regards, Christopher Howell.
