Project Background:

If the above names fit you and hopefully the location of the Tri Town area of Chelsea Revere &Winthrop Ma. Then this is the place for you.Now maybe you are in a Surname group. Thats fine YOU CAN JOIN THIS GROUP AS YOUR SECOND GROUP
.We are interested in Mtdna besides your Ydna!!

The MACHELSEA-L@Rootsweb.com mailing list is interested in expanding its goal of achieving the genealogy of Chelsea,Winthrop,Revere [No.Chelsea Prattsville] Ma.. These three towns have served as a haven and resting place for people who have migrated from other lands to a new one. Ever since its commission it has served that purpose.
These people interacted and this is an attempt to show that story. This url is the archives http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/MACHELSEA/
Looking thru the names you can see the diversity.
We have tied many small families into clans. Some into larger family groups. Hopefully the DNA will allow us to move one step closer to solving the puzzles

Project Goals:

the intention is to use MTDNA besides the YDNA

If you have questions about your heritage, Family Tree DNA has the Y-DNA and mtDNA tests that in conjuction with the largest comparative databases of their kind may provide clues leading to the answer to this and many other questions

Y-Chromosome - DNA Tests
MTDNA
tests the mtDNA of females and the female lineage of males (HVR1). Results are placed in our mtDNA database and when 2 people show the same identical polymorphism, we will inform both parties if you have both signed the FTDNA Release Form. The customer receives a report generally describing mtDNA, the meaning of polymorphism, your differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence and the meaning of probability between matches.
Ethnic and Geographic Origins: this test also allows you to identify your ethnic and geographic origins, both recent and far distant. Among other features, this test will also be able to indicate your Native-American Ancestry and which of the 5 major groups that settled in the Americans you are most likely to be descended from. It can also describe African Ancestry as well as other ethnic origins
Its this tool which should help indicate who is repated to who in chelsea.
It will have the Y DNA TEST FOR MALES this does show direct Ancestors
All Y-DNA tests allow you to identify your ethnic and geographic origins, both recent and far distant on your direct male descending line. Among others, you will be able to check your Native-American or African Ancestry as well as for the Cohanim Ancestry.
poit is its easy and painless to do and will help you and all of us in our quests

TYPING WOULD HELP

We have our 15 members and i am already in the system in another project[Denning]
I have my mtdna. thus new changes allow me to join this Chelsea Project besides the Denning. The more the merrier and the better results. you all know this list is about results

we just got our 15th member Me. some results will be comeing back. This means our match is now shown in the page Jackie Stevens and me are cousins. She is my grand moms neice thru her sister
we have a growing represnetation of the different communities in chelsea revere and winthrop.but are always looking for more
how do you fit?

Project Results:

Free Hit Counter
I run the machelsea-l list and i occasionaly post polish imigrants info to this list
and i have a database of 170,000 names .Mtdna can beused to connect these people
like san danato mentioned below, poland had many records destroyed in ww2

so how can mtdna play a part? simple locations,locations locations

if you have a location which is heavely researched . just a ton of paperwork but some wives if mentioned had no maiden names.So you dont know maybe who this women is except for the name Mary
Now you have the females decended from Mary
Marys husband was a pratt. you have in your database 7 people who decend from that couple 2 might be males decended from Samual Pratt's 6 sons but 5 are females who are decended thru the female lines off of Mary's 7 daughters.

these members are luke warm to all this since maiden names arent available. How can you be sure all the paperwork is true and people did what they said they did

so you get all 7 to test .the two males match making them decendents of Samuel. Now the 5 females test and match exactly proving that they are decendents of Mary so all 7 are related .immediatly all their paperwork merges
and their trees spread wider more like an elm now then a fir.

but does it stop there you have done the genealogy of this tri town area and have many Pratts. Included in this paperwork are familes suspected but not proven to be near these pratts and some never thought to be Pratts

Do you stop testing with these 7 hell no

and people seeing the results fell maybe i can get some new people. As new people test those suspected to be close to the Pratts with no proof maybe they lived in prattville . they get their brother to test and his mtdna matches the 5 sisters decendents and his ydna is his surname Dearborn. Dearborn recruits his uncle to make sure they match they do but the uncle surprises everyone and matches the 5 women decended from mary. Uncle Dearborn has his tree past the Samuel Pratt and Mary. He looks at his time table to see who might be the conection. sure enough in the period his tree has Jacob Dearborn and Priscilla they had 8 kids 5 seemed to survive but only 3 were known to have paperwork past birth .one of the two undocumented was a Mary so this means using his paperwork we find a female decendent of Priscilla. we test her and sure enough she matches the five decendents of Mary ,Mary,Uncle dearborn, nephew Dearborn, this means somehow nephew dearborn's mom and uncle dearborns mom were related to priscilla Jacob's wife

now you merge all the trees involved and the research on the community has guidance on what to expect to find.

I dont know how many of you have done towns genealogys I have and this is more then possible even probable

Now i just started The Frosinone Project.Many people migrated to parts of the world. Now 50+ years later the children want to know am i related to all mazzolas from san danato as i am a mazzola from there . They pilgramage to there yearly.one problem its 8 miles from monte casino. In the battle with the germans there was mass bombings all buildings were leveled . all records destroyed. all grave yards destroyed. only 50 -100 years and no answers

wanna bet ydna makes the families but mtdna connects them. So whats needed is a large database with decendents families .Most know the ggrandparents from american death certs and grave yards,ect.as you accumalate the surname lines and the mtdna lines the process above will pay off at least to connect the mazzolas of the world to san danato

maybe it isnt easy but who said it would be
genealogy never is
