.

 

1.  Your kit number 58656

 

2.  Your name Living

 

3.  Why did you join the Lost Colony project? I cannot go any further back than circa 1800 on my Pierce line.  I have no DNA connection with any other Pierce lines in Virginia.  My earliest confirmed ancestor was in Halifax County, Virginia in 1828.

 

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

 

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 writeup (2 paragraphs to one page in length) on your line!
