Family Group 21

Lloyd W Osborn & Diane Osborn Fortney

Caution, Warning, Disclaimer: The ancestral lines shown below are the ancestors that each project member, highlighted in yellow, BELIEVES to be their ancestors. Standards of proof or evidence used by each member may vary, and documentation for each ancestor may vary. These listings alone should not be taken as proof of ancestry; they are shown here to facilitate the finding of a common ancestor by project members or by others who may wish to test to see if their ancestral lines connect to one of the members. For more information, please contact the individual members at the email addresses listed below.

Diane Osborn Fortney is researching her ancestral line using her father Lloyd’s dna. At the present time, Lloyd is the only person in this family group. His genetic distance is 2 to the nearest members of the surname project, James Ausburn and Harry D Ozburn, who are presently shown in Family Group 2. This is interesting because James and Harry are the only ones in FG2 who are a Genetic Distance of one, hence “probably related”, to everyone else in FG2. However, by current rules, a GD of 2 means probably not related, so this indicates that Lloyd is probably not related in recent genealogical times to anyone else in the project at the present time.
