Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

cherylgallion54 — 2013-05-02 10:49:34Z

The Y DNA testing is what they're doing. My brother is the one that participated-
http://www.familytreedna.com/
http://www.familytreedna.com/projects.aspx

I don't know about the other testing companies. Kathy might, my brother had the 111 marker test done.

EDIT, oh sorry for some reason (tired) I didn't even understand Nat Geo when I read it lol. I'm not sure about their DNA 2.0 , however 1.0 only gave you halo groups and a potential to see your ancestors movement 10,000 years ago. Not really relevant to genealogy. It doesn't help me to know that I had ancestors in the middle east 10,000 years ago.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

galswen1 — 2013-05-01 21:28:22Z

Just out of curiosity, how does that compare with the testing done by people like Natgeo? I know that many of the dna testing sites are pretty superficial and that a person would have to dig deeper if you really wanted to make a match. At least at the Natgeo site they are doing y chromosome testing for the male lineage and mitochondrial for the female line. Since I am a part of the male Galyan lineage it would seem at first glance to be more appropriate than the Ancestry testing. Is that right?

Thanks

Sorry Noel, Not sure how I missed your post from last year, or if I responded and just don't remember, but the problem with the testing at Ancestry is that it doesn't give you the opportunity to compare your results with those from other test sources. The Familyfinder test on FTDNA is what several of us have used, and as the admin of that Galyean project, I can see the results from everyone who has tested there. I've looked at the common connections between everyone who has had that test done and only a handful of people have a variant of the Gallion surname in their ancestors, but a few do. Problem with all these autosomal tests, is that, even at it's best, only 2 out of 10 4th cousins will have inherited enough common DNA to show as a match, which means 8 out of 10 WON'T.

Gedmatch.com is an independent website which lets you look at a much broader spectrum of 3 way matches, but I just went to look at their site, and see they've suspended uploads for the time being because Ancestry.com uploads have overloaded their system. I guess this is actually good news, because it means there is now a place where we can share our data. I suggest you keep checking that site and upload your results when you can.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

galswen1 — 2013-05-01 16:30:02Z

Some parts of it are for sure and my particular branch seems to be quite good at hiding. I've only found two children for my William and Rebecca both born in 1791 but I'm sure they must have had more children than that. My ggrandfather was the youngest child and the only one that I have found a family for. Even he drops out of sight on a regular basis. Makes a person think they didn't want to be found.

I'm not on fb but my wife is. will have to see if I can't make contact again, especially if the Galyan dna program has made progress.

Hi

No she hasn't but I haven't followed up either. I've been frustrated with the Galyan line for some time now but will have to come back to it eventually and maybe take a different tack. I was hoping that the Ancestry DNA project might lead to some additional clues that would help me but so far it hasn't. Lots of 4th cousins listed but no clear connection,at least not to my Galyan line. Noel

Hi,

I also just did my DNA test and was also surprised. All my known ancestors are German and Irish, and I came back as 86% Scandinavian and 14% Eastern European.
After I thought about it, I came up with an explanation. There were numerous Viking raids into the British Isles, as well as all along the northern border of Europe, from France to Russia. Hope this helps.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

galswen1 — 2012-08-25 16:18:38Z

Hi Kathy

The testing that I've had done was the new non gender spacific test that Ancestry is currently using in it's beta form. Is that compatible with the program that you are using or would I need to have another series of tests done specific to the Galyan dna project? I don't believe that the raw data from the current test series is available at the present time but I understand it will be made available in the future.

My William Galyan b 1791 NC seems to have been a bit of a recluse as well as a rolling stone making it difficult to pin him down prior to 1850. I descend from his youngest son James M. Galyan but I'm sure there must have been more children that moved on or stayed put before the early records I have for him.

Drop me a line at galswen@aol.com if you like.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

Kdecker973 — 2012-08-21 02:15:10Z

Noel, I'm the admin of the Gallion/Galyean project and would love to have your data added!!! We've got only 8 participants, so far, and I've also manuallly added the data for Bartlett Sexton, as most of his decendents went by the name Galyon and anyone who tests under his line, would wind up looking for a Galyon project.

In any event, the results so far are very interesting. We had to go all the way to 111 markers to find a single mutation in the lines between Shadrick Galyean, and my ancestor, Daniel Galyean, of Knox Co., TN.

Cheryl's brother was tested all the way to the 111 level as well, and matches identically with Shadrick. According to the record for his marriage to Mary Dooley, this John W. Gallion was b. in Henderson KY and his parents are listed as Joshua and Anna. I've long suspected that Joshua, son of Jacob was the father of my Daniel, so finding that information about John W's parents, supports this theory.

Descendants of John A. Gallion have so many mutations from the above 3 samples, that the most recent common ancestor, obviously well predates the early 1800's, and a line from Abner Gallion has even more mutations. Three other samples in the project are unidentified as to pedigree, and are only 12 marker samples, so really useless as to helping define lineages.

Re: Galyon/Gallion and Tipton connection?

galswen1 — 2012-08-19 15:48:13Z

Hi I see this thread has been dead for a couple of years but am curious to know if anyone has followed it further. I have recently done the new Ancestry DNA test and was surprised when my results came back showing me to be 93% Scandinavian since my Galyan heritage would have led me to believe I was mostly Scotch/Irish/English. One of the people that Ancestry has linked me to is a Tipton but they have a very limited tree and no connection to any of my family lines. A connection to the Gallion line would be helpful as it might help me define my lines beginings which now ends at William b 1791 NC.

Any other Galyans that have done the DNA test and how did your results come out?

Re: William M Gallion

OurFamiliesUSA — 2012-02-27 06:32:28Z

people migrated often in the 1800's, and her family may have moved around thru the generations, where she was born, was not necessarily where her family was from, besides Kentucky is where alot of people from East Tenn went to after the CW

Re: William M Gallion

dickandlisacapo — 2012-02-27 03:56:34Z

Have not checked that site out but will.
You would think that she was from one of those states and that was the story we all heard she was born on the border of Alabama and Tennesee no she was born in Kentucky.

Lisa

Re: William M Gallion

OurFamiliesUSA — 2012-02-27 02:44:15Z

With a Name like that my guess would be she came from Tennessee or Alabama, a lot of Gallion lines came to eastern Tenn from NC then further back they were from MD, she may or may not be from one of those lines, check on Genforum.com under Gallion or Galyon forums, if you have not tried that already

Gallion/Galyean Origins

Beal1866 — 2011-05-19 02:01:38Z

Hi Everyone,

My paternal line is McLain, anglicized of the gaelic "MacGillean". I've been doing DNA ancestry for quite some time and among hundreds of matches, only one name is recurring: "Galyean" and "Gallion" are several distant matches.
I was wondering if they had branched off of MacGilleans and maybe took the "Mac" off and had a variant spelling of Gillean. It seems from looking through a lot of the posts on this board of an Irish connection with settlers in the U.S. pre-1800, that your lineage may very well be a Scots-Irish one.

My most distant ancestor is Henry Macklaine, a Protestant Reverend in Dublin city in the 1750s. He is descended of the Clan Maclaine of Lochbuie, Scotland (I'm unsure of when exactly they came to Ireland) but my ancestors left Ireland in 1867 for New York.

My wife is originally from Greene County near Willard. Her great grandfather was married to Elizabeth Gallion, second marriage was to Elizabeth Crumpley. In the Springfield library is information about Daniel G. and her. I have a copy if you cannot get one. He was one of the first settlers, and there are several articles about him. My wife's grandfather lived in Ebenezer where my grandfather and Margaret Ellen Kimmons decided to move to Kansas in a covered wagon. There were several other Gray's. I can also give you updates to family from there forward. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Sharon,

Good to hear from you. Jesse Fisher Gallion was my great-grandfather. My Grandfather was Alvin Eugene (Gene) Gallion, and my father is Donald Gallion Sr.

I'll be glad to share what I have (I can send you a GEDCOM file) and I have other notes. Some items will be for family unrelated to you (my mom's side) but you are more than welcome to what I have. Please keep in mind that not all of my data has been thoroughly researched (some I have relied on research of others) and some (Ancestry beyond Abner Gallion, Jesse Fisher's grandfather) is speculative and based on likely scenario, as no records exist.

Just let me know what info you want and how you want it sent.
