DEDICATION
This electronic book is dedicated to present
and future family generations with a special remembrance of all the past
generations who made this publication possible.
I acknowledge and give sincere thanks to all the people, too numerous to
mention here, who inspired me and without whose help much of the information
presented I would never have found.
FOREWORD
When family history based on genealogical records is coupled with family history
based on our paternal and maternal genetic data, together they answer the family historians basic
question -
Who were my
ancestors and where did they come from?
This ongoing study of the branches of my
ancestral family tree involves three primary areas of research that when tied together
ultimately validates my family history during the surname and pre-surname
era.
The first area of research,
started in November 1996, is
to generate a pedigree based on primary and secondary genealogical sources that document proven family
connections and locations for each generation, thus proving written family
history during the surname era.
The second area of research, started in April 2002, is to identify paternal and maternal genetic
hereditary data through testing and compare it to other genetically tested cousins
who
have a pedigree to a common ancestor. This will
identify our common ancestors
genetic signature and prove our relationship to that common ancestor beyond any shadow of
a doubt.
The third area of research is
comparing paternal and maternal genetic hereditary data to published
scientific papers involving human genetics, paleontology, archaeology,
linguistics, and history, to identify paternal and maternal pre-surname ancient
ancestral groups or clans, their migrations, cultural changes and eventually develop a time-line
through history and pre-history going back thousands of years.
