LATEST
CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
I
regret that my ill health has impeded progress of the Project.
13th July
07 I received a message from
Professor Andrzej Bajor
of Warsaw Poland that from
DNA (Grittenham lineage) I
could be descended from the family of Prince Rurik an
early ruler in the Leningrad
area of western Russia. I have joined Professor Bajar's
project, website
. Rurik seems to have Scandinavian roots and his
domain is not far
from Finland.

Results of DNA test for Eddie (kit 85530) are
here
and match 12/12 those of Tim of
Louisiana, who was tested in 2003.
4th

07
DNA test for Eddie Vines of Cal. is
pending.
Eddie is a descendant of Benjamin
Bush Vines born 1723 at Anson County North Carolina, who is
commonly
mentioned in lists such as Genforum. Tests for other descendants would
break
the log jam due to unreliable documentation.

Subsidies towards cost of several genealogical DNA tests for Vines are

daughter. Test was done by GENEBASE and all markers tested were not
exactly the same as used by FTDNA. His haplogroup is E3a
25th
Sep 06 DNA
results are now complete for Ron Vines of Melbourne and show that
they match 66/67 with Fred Vines. Both descend from John and Christian
Vines born about 1660, at Vines Farm, Grittenham North Wiltshire.
Ron
descends from sons Daniel (about 1692) and Fred from Benjamin born 1689.

are still pending but only show one mismatch with Fred so far.

results
for Ronald Earle Vines of Ontario are shown.
He is a descendant of James1819, who migrated to Canada
in 1846. His DNA confirms that he is from the Grittenham Vines.
13th
Jun 05 A 12
marker DNA test is underway for Ronald Earle Vines
apparently descended from James, born 1819, who migrated
to Ontario, Canada in 1846. Results are due 2nd July. James
was son of Jacob and Betty Priddy, the last Vines tenants
of Vines Farm, in 1820's.
14th
Jan 2005 First results of DNA test
on Peter Vines of Beaumaris
Melbourne confirm that his male antecedents descended
from John1660 and Christian Vines of Grittenham. Kay, his
mother in NZ, researched the line from Joseph at Hertford
about 1790 with no earlier documentation. This is first
proof of connection of the branch to the Grittenham Vines.

Note the link Epidemics,
which explains the obvious
reason for migration from England in the 1840s.
"Generally
throughout the 1830s and the 1840s trade
was off and food prices were high. The poorer classes,
being underfed, were less resistant to contagion."

regret to advise that Ron Vines of Melbourne passed away yesterday 9th
Jan 2004. He was an enthusiastic family historian and contributed
willingly
to this Project by having one of the first DNA tests. Every sympathy is
offered to his family. His outgoing and cheerful manner will be much
missed. |
