Doris's Genealogy
Many years of intense research have yielded a database that is a major source of genealogical information on most of our families. Some people have been included to show relationships only and are not well documented in terms of source citations. This occurs most often where I have not personally researched the family or individual or where information about them is readily available in the public domain -- especially presidents and royalty. I have also added a number of collateral lines in an effort to establish a broad database for DNA testing. My sincere thanks go to all those who have contributed valuable information that has added to our knowledge of our family. For confidentiality purposes, I have omitted all details for living persons (or those for whom I have no knowledge of death).
You will find here notable relatives -- Mayflower passengers, Revolutionary War participants, presidents, kings, queens, knights, and more. But you will also find many more ordinary folk -- farmers, blacksmiths, ministers, soldiers, sailors, postmasters, and undertakers. Virtually all came from England, Holland or Germany and settled in New England or New York. We thank them all for their courage and determination. We are their legacy.
Genealogy is a never-ending study, and I am always thrilled to find new information. All comments, suggestions and corrections are welcome, but please help me preserve the integrity of my data by furnishing sources.
Good luck in your quest!
You should know that DNA surname studies are underway to solidify my research and that of others for the names Worden, Southard and Wheeler. I am the project administrator for these and will include any meaningful results in my database, which is always accessible online (see Links below). Since the DNA data reflects living persons, the participants cannot be identified. The results, however, may be viewed using the links below to the World Families Network and to Family Tree DNA, the company that processes our DNA samples. It is important to find more males who carry these surnames to take part in the studies. I encourage all living males, especially the oldest or last in a line, to have their DNA tested, regardless of their surname. If no one in the family is interested in genealogy today, you can be certain a future descendant will be eternally grateful for your foresight. Learning about one's family history is a fascinating hobby whose popularity is increasing rapidly. Reduced prices are available if you join a surname project at FTDNA.
Finally, please be sure to write me if I can answer any questions or if you can help me make my database better (more complete, more accurate, etc.).
