Posted by Brenda Stoddard Guertin As for the Amos Stoddard you mentioned, I believe I have seen information about him online. As I recall, he's 10-15 years older than my Amos, but I believe he is also from the Solomon/Anthony line. Will let you know if I am able to get in touch with this other cousin. Wish me luck! Brenda

Unfortunately, I have hit a snag in getting this project going. My cousin tried to get in touch with our male Stoddard cousin who was willing to be tested, but he has not called her back. Our uncle had two sons, so I will try to find out how to get in touch with the other one and see if he is willing to be tested. Since I live across the country from them, and have never met them, it's a bit tricky.

: 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,

: 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.
