Pit(t)ma(o)n

chart? i have my tree online here is that what you need?

What is this name you have for Annie Neinyehi Rice/Ross?

This chart you talk about that shows possibly X matches, is it on here? Comfort is my line also

Daniel and Comfort are my gg grand parents - never heard Comfort was a twin? I have Comfort with the first name as Louisa - not sure where that comes from - anyone else have that? My family also passed down through the years that there was Indian in the family - I did find documents showing Comforts mother applied for Indian funds but no proof it was ever received or approved.

Hi James, I'm sorry to say I don't have any information about her line. Do you know of any siblings she had?

Hi Jef and what I know so far is maybe a sister/cousin married Absolom Herring. Other than that I am pretty much at a dead end. I have found a Dempsey Pitman that had a daughter by the name of Rose. So for now I am going to stick with that and see where it leads. - Mia

I'm in. One thing to keep in mind, which we can work through as best we can, is there are limitations on what I can share, due to privacy concerns. I'm entrusted with additional information for many project participants, and part of that trust is me agreeing to not use any information beyond what has been approved by the owner. This is a bit of a minefield in DNA based genealogy, since it's all about comparing with others, and if even one person of the comparison set hasn't given explicit permission for the use I'm considering, then I have to refactor the comparison to either exclude that person or exclude the information. Furthermore, people can revoke permission at any time, and I'm then required to delete any trail of the affected information. This all is good, and I support, from a privacy perspective. I'm just saying it makes many things difficult to manage.

Let me know when you set up an account on the site. I'm very excited, I'm hoping to get a repository of information on the site as well so records are accessible to anyone searching.

We are also using affiliated autosomal test results from Family Finder and others. This has helped us confirm family lines going back to around 1800. With the popularity of DNA testing picking up, these results are increasingly useful. One challenge is there are now quite a few testing companies, and if we don't have the results we need here, we can't compare two people. Fortunately, FTDNA allows you to import your data from AncestryDNA et al. Another challenge we face with both Y DNA and autosomal DNA is locked down permissions. When people choose not to share (a choice we respect), we can't do the comparisons that help the project.

We haven't done very much with mtDNA, as it is primarily a research tool for non-Pittman lines. However, if anyone needs help with a mtDNA project I'll do my best to assist.

Kit 877321 is the cousin's DNA kit.

I know I saw a tree at one point, but I can't find it anymore. Can I please get that again?

Before Iowa, these Pittmans settled in NW Missouri.

Hi Willie, as of now, there's not much Y DNA data to tie Everett's line to any other line, apart from the fact that tester is certainly in the large haplogroup. There is a tester in the project we think is a descendant of Everett, and you can see him in Group A2 in the project DNA results. He has only tested to 37 markers and is on the 37-marker modal. Another tester near him in the group, 112153, I think would be a suspect for coming from this same line. He has also tested to 37 markers and is also on the 37-marker modal. Having the modal values means there is no distinctive STR marker we could look at to see evidence they're related more closely to each other than they are to the group in general. One way of getting better evidence would be to get more people in this part of the tree to get 111 markers or SNP (Big Y) results. Another way would be to look at autosomal matches, as you're doing. for ancestors in the circa 1800 range, there certainly should be some DNA matches, but they may be difficult to sort out. If you would like me to look at your AncestryDNA matches, I would do that. I might notice something interesting since I've been looking at many Pittman matches. Contact me treece at gsp.org if you wish.

Hmm. The site is not posting the pdf files

maybe post it as a picture?

Hi, cousin! If Isaac is your cousin, I imagine that means you know know of at least one sibling and/or his parents. I can't figure out how to email you, but my email is dahlia (at) tmlindsey (dot) com. I'm in Pensacola, and my mom and I come over to Foley to the Genealogy Society meeting every second Saturday.

HI Compared your GEDmatch number we seem to share a little over 11CM . My GED Match is A564732.

Hi Tracy, sorry to be so long in responding. I see the segment in the one-to-one matching, but you don't come up as a match in one-to-many. I can't access your family tree on FTDNA, but you should be able to access mine; it's set to public. My email is dahlia(at)tmlindsey.com. I'd love to figure out our link. I see you also have a Reid surname -- my Isaac Pittman married Mollie Stevens, whose mother was a Reid.

No connection to any of my Pittman's descended from Joseph Pittman b. 1809 Magnolia, Duplin, North Carolina, USA d. 01 JUN 1880 • Harlan Co Kentucky. If anyone is interested in comparing.
