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.

Please provide a brief writeup (2 paragraphs to one page in length) on your line! 

Richard White (ca. 1600, possibly married “Anna” ca. 1670) had a son Edward Sr. (ca. 1624) who had the following children: Richardus (1647), Anna (1650), Francisca (1652/53) and Edward.  Edward White (b. 1654) married Francis Smith in 1671 in Leicester, England.  Had a son Conyers White (chr. 1672) who married Mary Tilly in the same area.  Had a son John White I (chr. 4 Feb. 1700, d. 1787/88) in St. Martin’s Parish in Leicester.  Other siblings of this union were Conyers, Theodosia, and Hannah.  John I married Ann Wisdom (I have data on the marriages, etc. of the children if you need this).  They had the following children: John II, Conyers, Mary, Theodosia, Frances, Ann, Joseph, Thomas, Elizabeth and Sarah.  The first record found of John White I is in Orange County, VA, 28 Sept. 1738. 

John White II married Sarah Gum and they had the following children: Elizabeth, Jeremiah, William, James, John, Millie, Frankey, Felicia, Peggy, Anne and Polly (I have a partial list of spouses if you need this also).  James (d. April, 1823) married Susanna and they had the following children: Crenshaw, Willis, Anderson, Susannah, Nancy, Grayham, Early, Polly and Kitty (partial data can be provided on some of these). Anderson (b. 4 July 1794, d. 14 Sept. 1880) married Lucinda Huckstep (b. 11 Aug 1802, d. 6 Aug 1883) on 15 Dec. 1818.  They lived in what is now Albemarle Co., VA on what is now known as Fox Ridge Farm.

They had the following children: Susan Frances, Agnes Amanda, John Willis, Elizabeth Columbus, Mary Cornelia, James Cornelius, William Anderson, Edwin, Valentine Newton, Lucinda Catherine, Benjamine Franklin and Henry Edgar.  John Willis was my husband’s g-g-grandfather.  He married Mary Anne Thompson, but he died 15 July 1845.  His son, John William Anderson White was raised by Anderson, his grandfather.

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

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.
