For those of you who have considered DNA testing as a aid in your family research, this is an excellent opportunity to dip your toe in the water. The 37 marker yDNA test and the HVR1 mtdna test are being offered together at a very reasonable price. Please contact me at msvnhrn@jps.net for the details.

The Congleton yDNA project is specifically looking for direct male line descendants of William Congleton of Guernsey County, Ohio, to be tested. William raised his family in Guernsey County, but after his death, his remaining sons moved to Libertyville, Washington County, Ohio, where descendants of this family still live today. The oldest son, John Congleton, has no know male descendants alive today. William’s sons, James Congleton, David Congleton and William Congleton have descendants in the direct male line, still living in Washington County. It would be very helpful to this project if a member of this family joined the project.

The project has one member who is believed to descend from William Congleton of Beaufort County, North Carolina. We need a second member of this family to confirm the genetic pedigree of this line. We would also like to have a descendant of Moses Congleton of Brooke County, West Virginia, in the project. A descendant of the Congleton family of Salem and Sussex Counties in New Jersey, would also be a valuable addition to the project. Lastly there is the Congleton family of New York State and Michigan. Descendants of all these families are needed to determine if they all descend from one man, or if they are separate families.
This summer sale is a perfect opportunity to fill out the genetic pedigree chart for this family. The sale price is valid from 9 June to 24 June. The test kits must be paid for by 30 June 2009.

This project requires administrator approval before you can join. Please write to me at the above address for information on the sale, and also for the requirements for joining the project. The person tested MUST be a direct male line descendant of the immigrant ancestor.
