Communication Preferences: I am interested in communicating private message with anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests. Here is my family tree.
With 40 years of experience in genealogy and a database of over 130,000 persons, I am now focused on DNA-based research which I believe we can use to break down our ancestral brick walls and help other people locate unknown family members.

We need your help. If you have tested your autosomal DNA, please upload your Raw DNA Data to GEDMatch.com where we can compare matching DNA segments with others. Ask your DNA matches to do the same. This type of research can only be successful with the mass cooperation of others. — Will You Help?

Biography

Crown of St Edward
Bill Vincent Ph.D. is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.
Bill Vincent Ph.D. is a Project Member of the Main and all subprojects of the Military and War Project.

Why Genealogy?

Bill began working on his own family tree after his mother passed away in 1984. He had been interested in her family research before, and picked up her efforts soon after she died. His first online genealogy experience was with using Compuserve and Mailing Lists, years before the Worldwide Web was created. (Yes, he's ancient.) His mother's ancestors traditionally valued their ancestry and passed on a rich tradition of oral family history.
Virginia and Southern Colonies

Early Southern & Kentucky Roots

Bill was born and raised in Kentucky, as have been all his ancestors for the past 190 years. Several ancestors came to Kentucky before statehood in 1792. Most of Bill's Kentucky ancestors came from Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland, plus some from Delaware, and South Carolina. Just a few were Yankees from Pennsylvania and New York. Bill's Virginia cousins include US Presidents, Governors, First Ladies, and Frontier Explorers. (See list below.)

Kentucky Counties

Bill and his immediate family were raised in Grayson and Edmonson Counties, for whom he is the KyGenWeb coordinator. Other family came from Adair, Barren, Green, Hardin, LaRue, Lincoln, Marion, Metcalfe, Nelson, Washington, and Wayne Counties. He has a large personal database of over 100,000 entries, especially of people linked to those areas.
Kentucky Counties of Principal Interest

Historic Roots

Thirty Patriot Ancestors of the American Revolution (see list below), plus three English Loyalists.
Most of Bill's Kentucky kinfolk fought for the Union during the Civil War, even slaveholders. One ancestor who didn't own slaves was a Confederate in the Kentucky Orphan Brigade.
Other ancestors fought in the French and Indian War, Northwest Indian War, and the War of 1812.
Two ancestors, James Wood and James Watson, were captured at Preston in 1715 during the First Jacobite Rebellion in England, and deported as prisoners to Jamestown, Virginia.
Bill's Personal Hero is his Uncle, Lieutenant Colonel Edward Lane, who earned Engineering degrees at West Point, University of Kentucky and Harvard, and died tragically in Vietnam.

Hello! We are some kind of DNA kin over on GEDMatch, but I have no clue who the common ancestor may be. I did lower the cM to 3, even though I know it's supposed to not be accurate at that level, but the total cM is 23+. My kit is SM675440.
posted by Cherie Harris
Cherie, I don't think that you have inherited any DNA in common with either me or most of my established cousins. I used the Gedmatch tool People who match both kits, or 1 of 2 kits to check this. Any match we have at a 3-cM level is surely useless.

There is a good reason for the usual 7-cM DNA cutoff. Even for matches between 8 cM to 10 cM, about half of them will be IBC (Identical By Chance) rather than IBD (Identical by Descent), and basically meaningless. Below are two good references outing IBC and IBD DNA matches for you to use as a reference.

When is a DNA segment match a real match? IBD or IBS or IBC?, by Kitty Cooper

Identical by descent by the International Society of Genetic Genealogy

Dr - I have 1 day of experience with this, so I'm really struggling. What a pleasant surprise to get your suggested merge. I do realize that it means i made an error in creating it, the confirmation on that specific profile is a huge deal to me. Catharina Natsin is my GGGM. I have had nothing but frustrations for years in trying to expand upon my few leads on the Slovak branch of my family. I may have not discovered yet how to figure this out for myself, but could you tell me where you got the info from for that profile? Thank you again.

We just started a new project on WikiTree: the Appalachia Project and we would love to have you join us. Since you are already working on profiles in Appalachia it wouldn't add to your WT work. Just a sticker and a category, here and there. To join, review the Project page, pick a regional team (or teams) and answer the G2G Membership post.

Hi Bill.

Ten thousand connections within seven degrees! What an amazing accomplishment! Only 10 other WikiTreers have a CC7 of 10,000. Congratulations!

By the way, I happened to notice that you indent a lot of paragraphs with colons. Our preferred style is only to indent paragraphs that should be set apart from other paragraphs. If you want to propose to the community that there be wider margins on text, this could be done with one change and every profile on WikiTree would change to the new style instantly. But then profiles that use colons for every paragraph would look especially odd.

Hi Bill, I have found several more Sandidges that were married around the same time as David and Larkin in Mason county KY: Mary Sandridge to Robert Lurty 25 April 1809 bondsman Joseph Eubanks; Philadelphia Sandridge to James Teeples 20 Apr 1813, bondsman Joseph Eubanks; Martha Sandridge to John Artis 24 march 1812, bondsman Robert Lurtey. These might be other children of Patsy and James. Should we make these into the family of Patsy and James with a strong warning that we do not have any primary evidence and this associated is based on circumstantial evidence? I have not seen a tree with any reasonable references with Patsy and James' children. Robert Lurty is probably the son of John Lurty, Revolutionary soldier, so there may be a reasonable amount of research on that line, and perhaps it can be traced back to James Sandidge through his daughter Mary.
posted by Julie Henry
Julie, I think we can reasonably do something about adding and connecting these Sandidge people in Mason County. I need to find good sources for James Sandidge and Patsy Bronaugh before adding them. Back in 1997 made note of an old Bible entry for James and Patsy that gave their DOB and marriage information, but I need to track that down first, if I can. The Bible might also contain information about their children. After James and Patsy are added to WikiTree, with a source or two, we can then add probable children and grandchildren for them. That has been my plan and I'll be happy to work with you on doing that.

Hi Bill,

It looks like you may have some outstanding merges that need attention. You can find them by following the link at the top of this page under >My Wikitree>Watchlist, then hit the button that says Pending Merges. If you need help, just ask. Thanks for helping with Wikitree

posted by Robin Lee
Robin, I check my outstanding merges frequently.
  • I merged 2 profiles after you posted this reminder. (Thank you.)
  • I am waiting on one merge for opinions on the correct LNAB.
  • There are 10 merges which are waiting for approval by a profile manager who has not yet responded. These will be merged within days or weeks.
  • There are 22 merges which cannot proceed because one profile is either Private or Protected and the profile managers are either inactive or just unresponsive. This includes the Southern_Pioneers Project, whose managers seem to be in a permanent state of hibernation or else simply choose to ignore proposed merges. (I am a member of Southern Pioneers.) I would be really happy to merge these profiles, if I only could.

Hello Cousin Bill,

Bill Vincent Ph.D. and Sue (Bateman) Matthews are both descendants of George Dameron, behind my 2nd DDF Thomas Turpin Thomas.

posted by Sue (Bateman) Matthews
Thanks for your message, Sue. I have found a few DNA matches which appear to stem from the Dameron family, but naturally are difficult to prove considering the large genetic distance. The DNA of my great uncle Hack Lane (Gedmatch LN2716607) is two generations closer to our common ancestors, but still quite distant.
posted by Bill Vincent Ph.D.
edited by Bill Vincent Ph.D.
Hey Bill, my family doesn't match to you on AncestryDNA (in 12 or tests on our side), but we probably match to many people that you do. Sometimes it seems like we're related to about half of the people whose ancestors ever lived in Hart Co KY. Our top lines there were Wright, Peebles, Wilson, Butler, and Hodges.

I'm slowly building up my WikiTree, but I have a large tree on Ancestry under username KevinMIreland.

posted by Kevin Ireland
Kevin, thanks for reaching out to me. Looking at your extensive tree on Ancestry I can honestly see no common ancestors between us. That doesn't mean there are none, but certainly none in Kentucky. Nonetheless, if you need any assistance with WikiTree, please let me know and I'll help if I can. Please remember to add good, primary sources to your WikiTree profiles, especially those which will be helpful to other researchers. I hope your experience on WikiTree is both rewarding and enlightening. - Bill

I'm working through multiple stages in my WikiTree profiles:
  • First, enter the connections back from my family to existing profiles (some connections via GEDcom imports).
  • Second, add primary sources when available, otherwise secondary sources. Clean up biographies generated by GEDcom imports.
  • Third, add photos and additional biographical material provided as family lore (but specifying which is which).
  • Finally, request that my many DNA-tested family members create a WikiTree account and connect to their ancestral profiles that I set up.

I'm in the process of establishing three one-name studies: Ireland-surname (hard to do on WikiTree due to conflicting genealogy tags), McCool, and Sollenberger. I've been building these studies for years, but it's time to make them available to the community.

I agree that we don't have common ancestors, but I'd be surprised if we don't have matches in common. I'm currently working with more than 110 AncestryDNA tests and about 10 Y-DNA tests (from multiple lines).

I was active in the Musick Family Association a few years ago. I was surprised to find that Musick families from different branches had moved to Kentucky, at least for some time. There are two main branches there today, one from Edmonson County (my family) and the other from around Floyd and Johnson Counties.

Very cool! I say "those" Musicks as my Trusty and Musick lines were some of my first to discover. They have a special place in my heart. And - my mother-in-law always remembers that they had lines that came to Kentucky (even if she doesn't remember my other lines lol). Mine were all in Virginia. Their descendants were in North Carolina, Illinois and Iowa.

Hi Bill,

As you may have seen, we have been doing some restructuring in the US Southern Colonies Project and are now organising ourselves into different teams. We have also changed the criteria for membership. Please have a look at the new project pages, and let me know whether you would like to remain in the project and, if so, which team(s) you would like to be in.

Please can you also send me your e-mail address. I can then make sure you are introduced to your Team Leaders and are in the Google Group.

Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the US Southern Colonies Project that you respond to these check-ins. We’re really excited for the future of the project and hope that you decide to be a part of it with us moving forwards.

Many thanks,

Congratulations to the Super Sweepers who did well, also. I ended up 9th overall last year with just under 2070 points, and beat that considerably this year finishing 13th over all. I think the bad weather and the pandemic worked to keep people inside and focused. You and I were working on Gender suggestions at the same time, from different starting points. When I ran into your work, I knew we were of like minds. Most of my False Suggestions came from Gender and from Nicknames, both of which can be a little different in the South. LOL. Names also change with time. My grandfather's given name, Hillary, was strictly a man's name years ago, as was the given name Meredith.

Bill, your comments are well noted, and I agree. The problem arises with multiple spouses and perhaps children with each one - when it becomes an issue to deliniate when one marriage might have started and / or ended. And as long as there is a field to document the end of a marriage - for any reason, sometimes the date of a death will have to serve.
