Hi Tommies,
'm glad to see all the interest in the DNA finally. However what I have been
eading leads me to believe most of you do not understand what it can do and
hat it can not do. Ther are two books I would recommend if you are really
nterested. "The Seven daughters of Eve" by Bryan Sykes and "Trace Your Roots
ith DNA" by Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak and Ann Turner. Or investigate three web
ites FamilytreeDNA, Thompson Project Home page or the Sorenson Molecular
enealogy Foundation at SMGF.org. I have been involved for several years and
ave purchased the 67 marker on FamiltreeDNA.
I made matches with three other Thompson’s, but have only been able to find a
ommon ancestor with One Person and that was David Brent Thompson who is one of
ur researchers. We matched on 34 out of 37 markers. Our common ancestor is
ight generations back, a William Thompson born in Massachusetts in 1742. This
eans that my ancestors and David’s back to William all have at least 34 Y
hromosomes ours. Although William has been dead 200 years we do know his DNA,
ut not his fathers or any others of his ancestors. We are still in the
ioneering stage and it will take a lot more Tommies submitting their DNA for us
o get back to earlier generations.
