Project Background
After researching the HAM surname in Virginia for over ten years, and co-authoring a three volume work on the HAM surname, we now have a different tactic in the search of HAM immigrants to the US. At this stage all traditional routes normally used to link different lines of ancestors together have been exhausted.
There were at least ten immigrants to Virginia, and although they were most likely from England, other possibile countries of origin include Scotland and Ireland. Early immgrants to Virginia include:
- begins with Joseph HAM in 1621, Jerome HAM, Richard HAM, Manuel HAM, Thomas HAMM(S), Rosse HAMM, HAMO (a Turk), William HAMES, and others.
There were also similar immigrants to Maine (William), New Hampshire (John), New York, Pennsylvania, etc.
CONCEPT: The idea is to sort the numbers into groups, by matching numbers. A link to each group will display the oldest known ancestor. With enough samples and combined research, we should be able to determine origins of each group.
This DNA project has been established to allow the HAM surname from around the world see if they are related to each other through a common ancestor.
