Finally, I Received Mama’s DNA Today
January 23, 2017
Now to Compare…
While mama has more European West DNA – 51% to my 48%, my Irish roots are higher than hers at 35% to her 25 %. The one region she has that I don’t… is European Jewish, now where did that come from – or should I say who did that come from?
There are Three Types of DNA Testing
Y-DNA: it tests the male-gender linked Y-Chromosome for information that’s passed in a direct line from father to son to son.
Autosomal DNA: it tests DNA from all the chromosomes except the gender-linked X & Y chromosomes; this test helps to link cousins across the gender lines.
Mitochondrial DNA: it tests for information passed in the direct female line… from mother to her children, but it can only be passed on by a daughter.
14 – DNA CIRCLES FOR MAMA
34 DNA CIRCLES FOR ME
Mama started with no DNA circles, but on Jan. 29, 2017…. 14 show in comparison to mine. I now have 34 – previously 30. Are my new ones because of mama’s DNA tested? Three new ones for me are the result of her DNA testing, hoping to take her maternal line back further and bring in more circles. Hoping to add Askew and Hillsman lines, but I need more cousins tested… if only I had siblings!
I share all 4 with Mama
These also are all shared except for Penelope Owsley – she is new to me. Owsley connects through my maternal line on mama’s mother’s Askew line.
Penelope Owsley
BIRTH CIR. – 1763 • LOUDOUN CO., VA.
DEATH 4 NOV 1820 • GA.
Francis Beaty is new to me – probably because of Mama’s DNA. Beaty connects through my maternal line on mama’s father’s McKinley side.
FRANCIS BEATY
BIRTH 1711 • North Carolina, USA (Posb. Down, Ireland)
DEATH 29 JUN 1773 • Mecklenburg, North Carolina
Martha Mitchell and Littleton Mapp are also new DNA circles for me. Mapp and Mitchell connect on my maternal line through mama’s mother line of Askew.
LITTLETON MAPP
BIRTH 1737 • NORTHAMPTON CO, VA.
DEATH 15 DEC 1804 • WHITE PLAINS, HANCOCK CO., GA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MARTHA MITCHELL
BIRTH 1711 • Donegal, Lancaster, Pennsylvania
DEATH 29 JUN 1773 • Augusta, Virginia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In conclusion, 3 circles may have shown because of mama’s DNA testing!

Everyone Has a Story 
Yes, extremely interesting, especially that you have Frances Goode connected to Isham Meadows. I wish I could access a closer view of those Meadows documents.
I need to pull out my papers on the Meadows line. What was that researchers name. She mentioned that there were folks trying to connect a Frances Goode to Isham but there was no documentation to confirm it. I have him married to Martha _____.
How in the world did you get DNA on Martha Mitchell, LIttleton Mapp, Isham Meadows and the others? Wow.
Yeah, you wish you had siblings and sometimes I think you are so fortunate. Haha

Yes, I have to do more research on the Goode, as I don’t think there is a true connection as of yet. I’m looking forward to seeing what other new ones pop up from mama’s DNA results.

So fascinating! I have no DNA circles. 😒

How long have you had yours! Mamas is less than week old and had 14 within a week. But maybe because of mine already there ??

I would call them up.. and your sure that your tree is connected and your attached to your DNA? Def a call – maybe theirs a glitch somewhere

I haven’t done this yet because I have completed my Ancestry.com file all the way back to the 1700’s. Then the information began to get shoddy because you are dependent on so many people. Even before then I was becoming suspicious of the kids being older then their parents. LOL So I feel like I am pretty clear what my roots are. I am related to Daniel Boone, which is fun. He was a Great Uncle about 5 generations back. This was through Charles Boone (?) and Mary Polly Boone, his daughter. Then because she was my relative, the name disappears. No more famous people.

My Bryan line has been associated near the Boone’s and while I am stuck around my John and Nancy (unk) Bryan – many of us are hoping to make that Bryan/Boone connection. I haven’t been able to identify Johns patents, posb NC or VA. They travelled into Ga by 1791 as my James Bryan was born in Ga. there were many family stories written back in the 1940’s from researchers in family that told of Aunt Rebecca Boone… so we’ve tried to make connections but keep hitting stone walls. Do you have any Bryan lines?
