--Previous Message-- : Dear Stoddard : : My name is Richard McLain and my mother is a : Stoddard, Roberta Stoddard from Nebraska in : the USA. : : My Maternal Uncle Jay Stoddard of Grand : Island, Nebraska has traced our line to an : Amos Stoddard who was a representative of : the US Govt. in St. Louis when St. Louis : became part of the US in the Lousiana : Purchase transfer. : : I would be interested in participating in : the survey if we are talking about the same : Stoddard line. : : It might be interesting. : : Cheers, : : Richard C. McLain : : --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 : : Amos Stoddard is buried in my hometown at Ft. Meigs. He has a beautiful tombstone inside the fort. Judy Justus Perrysburg, OH 43551 :
