New member Robert Brandenburg (of the lineage of William Henry Brandenburg) is found to have eleven out of twelve marker match with J. D. Brandenburg, Bill Brandenburg, Sidney Ashley Brandenburg, and W. C. Sanders (all from the lineage of Matthias Brandenburg).

December 23, 2006: New member Burnell Brandeberry is found to have exact twelve marker matches with both Max Brandeberry and Johnnie Micheal Brandenburg. This is further evidence of the relationship between the descendants of Alexander Brandenburg and John Martin Brandenburg.

October 27, 2006: An exact match on first twelve markers found between W. C. Sanders and Sidney Ashley Brandenburg.
