DNA and a possible answer to a long standing question!
Just a couple of days ago, I stumbled across Jeffrey Robison’s very elaborate, well structured and highly researched website at which strangely included many of my direct paternal ancetsors AND a link to my own maternal link to Mayflower passenger, John Howland. Wow! I quickly fired off some grave stone photos and offered to contribute more. At the same time, I asked if there was a direct link between us. If I am related to Jeffrey Robison who put the site together, and if the DNA results of his ancestors are accurate, I’ve found a major crack in the brick wall between myself and my Scotch-Irish ancestor thanks to his work!
I’m more concerned tonight about slogging through an assignment that is due tomorrow and 5 family descendant/ancestor reports that I need to complete for the 5 members of my class in Palmer. But looking at the Y37 report from Jeffrey and my own Y37 report…. this could be interesting!
I’ll certainly be blogging about this toward the end of the week. I want to talk with Jeffrey on the phone rather than e-mailing or texting back and forth. I’ve got too many questions for that strategy!
This is great news!
