Project Background
The Dement Surname Project was started in Nov 2003. I have been interested in DNA since early medical school days. Genealogy has been my hobby since early teens.
It has been an awesome journey and I have met many wonderful people and enjoyed many wonderful stories. I have corresponded with many Dement lines over the last 40 years, wondering how we all fit together. I have been corresponding with John M. Dement of Huntsville, Al for over 30 years. Since my family was in Morgan County Alabama in the early 1800's we have felt sure that we were related but have not been able to make that connection. Now through DNA, we think we are on the track to proving the relationship. We match exactly at the 25 markers. We are off by 3 at the 37. This means we most likely have a common ancestor with in the last 300 years. Now we hope to document other branches and roots.
