I searched anything I could find in Kentucky with no results. So I went back to Ancestry files and found on his marriage license (just this week) to my grandmother and the license listed JW and Sallie Mae Sanders WILMINGTON NC..

On his death certificate was listed David Sanders, RALEIGH NC and mother not known. I had hear from family that granddaddy did lie in Raleigh NC at some point, had a wife and 2 children there --- but their house burned down and his wife did not survive... I do not know what happened to those 2 children (girls).

Hello Ya'll...I had no idea there was an CumberlandGap-mtDNA in my Genealogy, but here I am. Glad I found out and my Uncle's DNA....So let's see where this takes me & Ya'll. Looking forward to figuring out how the Garnett's fit into the CumberlandGap-mtDNA and vice versa...any assistance is appreciated...If ya'll can't tell; by me using the term "Ya'll", I'm from the South :-) ...DNA is NEW to me and I'm just learning this side of Genealogy research...I've been doing Genealogy since 1985 on paper until I found a Genealogy program later in 1990 called Brother's Keeper and am still using the current version and still love that program...anyway...OK let's see if we can find some connections...thanks, Terry

Richard, You can go to Family Finder, click on Advanced Matches. Then on the boxes that go across the page check the Family Finder box, then go to the drop-down menu and scroll down to the Cumberland Gap group, click on it and then click on the "run report" button.

Hello, My name is Mitzi. This whole group thing, and mtDNA is new to me. I am looking for my grandmother's grandmother's parents. My grandmother's grandmother was Catherine A. RAMSEY (1816/21 NC - 1900 McMinn Co., TN) who md Wiley K. Shearer (1815-1910 McMinn Co., TN) 1839 Macon Co., NC according to Wiley's pension record. Catherine stated her dad was born in KY and her mom in NC. She and Wiley were living in Cherokee Co., NC 1840 and 1850. In 1860 they are in Polk Co., TN. In 1870, 1880, 1900 they are in McMinn Co., TN. Their children were Nancy, John Emanuel, Margaret, William, James, Almira “Mira,” Lorenzo D., & Mary. I'm not sure how my mtDNA will help here. I appreciate direction with knowing how to use the mtDNA here and also finding Catherine's parents. Thank you!! Mitzi

Rex. I am from the West Coast so not super familiar with the locations of many areas. I wasted tons of time looking in the wrong states. if you can't find a person check for changes in boundaries as counties and states had many changes If she was from eastern Ohio, Check Augusta County, Virginia and the other counties as Augusta's 1000 square miles have been broken into different counties (and states) Wheeling, Virginia was just across the river from Ohio, Fairly close to Zanesville. and many folks didn't think much of changing states when it was simply across the river! Ps Many people came into Ohio from VA & PA in that area.

I got my mtDNA results back and am not sure I belong in this project on my maternal side. There are 9 of us on the chart with haplogroup T2c1d1 but I am not having any luck matching those on the chart with the matches on my results page. My maternal line is : Martha Stout Rose 1768-1838, 5th great-grandmother (not sure if this is correct) Abigail Grimes? 1792-1863 (not sure if this is correct) Martha Jackson 1816- Martha (Mattie) Essie Renfroe 1843-1908 Callie Donia Henderson 1874-1936 Mattie Leona Breedlove 1897-1964 Are these familiar to anyone?

No, Raymond, I have mtDNA on FamilyTreeDNA.com and autosomal on ancestry.com and FamilyTree.com; my Tree is posted on both these accounts. My brother has his Y-DNA on FamilyTree.com under the surname Greer

Patsy, GEDmatch.com is a site where one can download their Raw Data and compare with others no matter who they tested with. I prefer the Ancestry.com DNA Autosomal Raw data download for that. GEDmatch is going through a new owner, but I do recommend it for everyone. It is not a separate lab and does not offer any services except matches by DNA, up to about 2000 matches. But matches there, can be from any labs which means more chances of finding random matches.

Patsy - if your ancestor Martha Stout Rose is from the geographic region listed in the project description, then you absolutely belong in this group. The project depends on attracting large numbers of people to succeed in connecting family lines. I joined several years ago and have yet to make one remotely close mtDNA connection, but if I drop out I will never get any.

Frank, I think the wording confused me - This is Cumberland Gap location which is a specific area - and this is the maternal DNA- and lived in the Counties of: Lee, Scott & Russell Counties in VA, Bell & Harlan Counties in Kentucky and Claiborne, Hancock, & Hawkins Counties in Tennessee where the areas join together over the Appalachain Mtns.
