--Previous Message-- : Lyle, : : Thanks VERY much! This weekend, I'll call my : female cousin who located our male Stoddard : and try to get this going. I'll let you know : when I've got it lined up with the Family : Tree DNA group so that you'll have an idea : when to expect the kit. I'll also ask for : info for others who may want to be tested : and will post some basic info on the : Associaton forum. : : I really appreciate your willingness to : help. I know of some other lines who are : doing a lot with DNA testing, and I hope : this will be a start for many Stoddards to : get beyond brick walls as well. : : Brenda : : : : : --Previous Message-- : brenda I'm a male Stoddard from : this : Stoddard line and would be Glad to help you : o9n this DNA My address is PO box674 Buffalo : , : Ok 73834 : --Previous Message-- : I am interested in starting a Stoddard DNA : project, now that a male Stoddard cousin has : been located and is willing to be tested. : Since the clues point to my Stoddards being : from the following line, I'm attempting to : prove or disprove the connection through : DNA: : : Anthony of Boston : Soloman : Anthony : Gideon : Gideon : Amos : Henry W. b. CT 1797 : In order to compare my cousin's DNA results : to the line, I need to locate a male : Stoddard : descendant from the above line (with as many : of the above ancestors as possible in his : direct line) who will volunteer to be : tested. : As I understand it, the DNA testing is very : simple. A kit is mailed to the person and : he : simply swabs the inside of his mouth and : mails the kit back. I am willing to pay for : the person's testing, and if I can get a : Stoddard project going there may be a : reduced : price for future Stoddards who would want to : be tested. Seems there are quite a few : Stoddards who have difficulty tracing their : ancestry, so DNA testing may help many. : If anyone reading this message is a male : from : along the above line, or if anyone knows a : man who is, please let me know. John H. : Stoddard gave me two names earlier, but one : was no longer at the address and the other : never replied to my letter. John also : forwarded an e-mail from someone who was : interested in Stoddard DNA. He was going to : give me a list of some men who might want to : be tested, but I haven't heard back from : him. : I would certainly appreciate help on this! : Thanks very much. : Brenda : : : : I would be glad to partake in this project as well. I'm directly connected. E-mail me or whatever to send me a kit. Thanks : :
