Posted by Brenda Stoddard Guertin 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

: 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
