My great-aunt and her second cousin would be the two we're most interested in, because they appear to be descended from George Lane and Sarah Mead, or maybe one of Sarah's siblings or cousins. My great-aunt Joan is M143300, and her 2nd cousin Norma is M365069.<br /><br />Would you mind sharing your gedmatch kit?

I have indeed taken a DNA test, with FamilyTreeDNA, and my info is posted there as well as on GedMatch.com.<br /><br />Could you also please put me in touch with the genealogist who sent you the above information?<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />MiriamMiriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-23729352749079169352016-08-04T11:21:10.501-07:002016-08-04T11:21:10.501-07:00Just ran across your blog and thought you might li...Just ran across your blog and thought you might like to know -- here's an email that a fellow genealogist sent me the other day that I believes answers one of your questions.<br /><br />"George Lane died intestate in Tioga County, NY and his probate was filed the 19th of Sep 1856. It has the following information surviving "Kindred as follows: HULDAH JACOBS, Dorcus Lake, Betsey Westfall, and Mary Cortwright of Candor; Ezekiel Lane and Rachel Mustow of Potter Co., PA; Solomon and Levi Lane of Candor, Mrs. Thiar Hickey of Newark, Abby Steele of New Haven, Huron, Ohio, and Sarah Lane (wife) of Candor." <br /><br />DNA has shown that I likely descend from George Lane and his wife Sarah Mead, through my elusive ancestor, Almira (Weatherby) Shumaker, however I have no idea how they are my ancestors. You haven't taken a DNA test by chance, have you? <br /><br />Thanks and hope to hear from you soon,<br />Jodie <br />buckeyegirl1721 at gmail dot comSewing-Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282532221695943114noreply@blogger.com
