1.  Your kit number 58746 

2.  Your name - living 

3.  Why did you join the Lost Colony project? 

Ralph's 4th Great Grandfather was John Charles Paine born in Hampshire, England. A DNA of Ralph Payne Jr.  has matches to the Payne (Paine) families in the USA. Earlier Paines were also sailors or Ship owners & fish merchants. I feel that the Newfoundland Paynes are sharing some of the same ancestors as those in the States.

 4.  How is your Y-line DNA line connected to the colonists, the surnames, Native people or the location? 

As the above states, there seems to be some DNA matches with family names in the United States leaving the possibilty that these families were connecting with each other in the past. Our Newfoundland Paynes are also connected by marriages to the Miq Maq of Newfoundland. 

The 3 sections of the website are divided into genealogy, research and history.

Genealogy – typically this would be the specific genealogy of the line listed here on the site….so the mtdna for you.   

I am including a mini-genealogy form below for you to complete which should help you to document your maternal ancestry.  Alternatively, you can upload a gedcom to either your personal results page at Family Tree DNA or mitosearch and let us know that you have done so.

5.  Please provide a brief write up (2 paragraphs to one page in length) on your line!   

6.  Mini-Genealogy From Participant to Oldest Ancestor (complete form below)

Completing the form below, enter the current generation’s name in line 1 and add each generation on subsequent lines through your oldest ancestor.  You don’t need to provide personal info for living individuals, just a placeholder name. 

7.  Do you have a family website that includes this line? 

No 

 Research – this would include such items as papers you’ve written about the family, deeds you’ve extracted, or other things relevant to your particular line. 

8.  Do you have research items to contribute?  If so, paste here or send separately.

History – this would include any general history of the area or a tribe or something not included above.

9.  Do you have history to share?  If so, paste here or send separately.

10.  Are you willing to have your e-mail address and first name listed as a contact for your kit?  If so, what is the e-mail you want listed? 

[email protected] 

11.  Are you willing to be a coordinator or resource for any of the Lost Colony surnames?  If so, which ones?

We are working to be sure that everyone who should be included in the Lost Colony, is in fact included, and that folks who don’t have a potential link to the colonists have the opportunity to join a project more suited to their needs.   

If possible, please reply within the next week or so.

 Thank you very much,
