Ancestor Line of # 122985 - The results of this test have established the Y-dna line of Antony Reitenauer, circa 1586, Switzerland. This well documented ancestor line can be found on the website ( www.paulridenour.com/ridfam.htm ).
9. Anthony Reitenauer, circa 1586, Switzerland
8. Hans Retenauer, circa 1612, Switzerland
7. Nicholas “Claus” Reitenauer I, circa 1651, Switzerland
6. Johann “Nicholas" Reitenauer II, circa 1683, France

Ancestor Line of #11597: see website at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~evansdna/William_Ridenour.htm
This line is now seeking Ridenour descendants from any of the Ludwig Ridenour line of Perry Co., OH and also any descendants from the John Ridenour and Christina Walters line, especially the John Ridenour & Sarah Ann (Sally Ann) Sims line that moved from Fairfield Co., OH to Putnam Co., and Allen Co. OH area. Also any Ridenour lines from early Washington Co. & Jackson, Co. OH area. Please email if you are a descendant of any of these families: theme@windstream.net
The ydna data on #122985 has proven that this lines Generations #7 thru #9 are NOT connected to the Antony Reitenauer line. As Gen #9 - shows the same ancestor as Gen.#6 in Line #122985, This families Gen #9 - #7 is not correct, as the ydna markers do not match. So this Ridenour line, Gen #6 thru #1, is now speculated to be from one of the more “unknown and less researched” family lines.
