The only Stoddard project I know of is on smgf.org 5 or 6 stoddard/ the project is free but you only get 27 markers of y dna for males, Not sure about mtdna there you'll have to check that out yer-self. Stoddard y-dna generaly is as follows @ 12/ 13-23-14-11-11-14-12-12-12-13-13-29 wamh/ Solomon's Direct line. I have 67 marks and a perfect match with one Stoddard on SMGF at 27 marks, very close with all others. I tested with ftdna.com under stafford project. The Stafford name is locational for the shire. --Previous Message-- : Hi - Just found this correspondense again via : an obscure yahoo search. I'm still out here : and still interested in any Stoddard DNA : project! : : Regards, : : Peter Stoddard : Seaside FL : : --Previous Message-- : Peter, : : Thanks for your reply. I haven't checked : the message board in a few weeks, so I just : saw the message. : : I think you would be close enough for : comparison, as the family tree DNA testing : compares only from several generations back : (as I understand it). The problem is that a : female cousin had contacted a male cousin : who had said he was willing to be tested. : Then when I tried to get the project : started, she contacted him again and he : never got back to her. I will try again : because I really would like to get the : project going. It may be the only way I can : determine my Stoddard line, and it might be : helpful to others with Stoddard ancestry as : well. It's good to get sample DNA from as : many lines as possible in order to help the : greatest number of researchers. : : Again, I appreciate your interest, and I : will contact you if I am successful in : getting the project started. : : Brenda : : : --Previous Message-- : I am interested in your project, and I am : descended from: : Anthony of Boston : Soloman : Anthony : Gideon : Nathan : Nathan Ashbel : Rodman : Don't know if our lines are close enough for : DNA purposes ... : : --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.
