A big thank you to all who took the DNA test!

NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE REST OF YOU TO TAKE THE Y-DNA TEST AT FTDNA!


I'm Barbara Neel Blizzard, Mrs. Tillman Blizzard of Aiken Co, South Carolina.

You think you know who your ancestors were, but is that actually fact? It is necessary to be y-DNA Haplo-grouped to prove a Blizzard line, as there are so many different origins of this surname within the same state. You don't want to be connected to the wrong Blizzard line, do you?

There is no right or wrong in DNA because we all started out with the same ancestors. The only difference is their mutations as they migrated over thousands of years. Where did we come from more recently? That's what our children want to know. Wouldn't it be great to be able to tell them? Wouldn't it be great to know for sure where your ancestor came from?

It takes at least two people testing from the same ancestors like those below, to prove a particular line.

Of those  male line y-DNA tested, some of them are related, and  with the Family Finder test a few are related through a maternal Blizzard ancestor.


We have test results from the following ancestors:

Jesse Blizzard and wife Bettie of West Virginia;

John b. 1720 and Ruth of Virginia;

John b. 1780 and Nancy from North Carolina to Russell Co, Virginia;

Eliza Jane's son John (and Mary Elam) Blizzard by a man surnamed "Jesse";

Richard Blizzard Jr. descendant of  east-coast Virginia: This line is a Gypsy Woman of western VA, with a Negro eastern VA cross. Richard Blizzeard Jr. passed on August 12, 2014. His wife will administer his account.

Richard Blizzard and Kezzekiah Carter of North Carolina now have tmore matching descendants of their son Solomon, and his son John "Fountain" Blizzard and Elsie/Alcy Gray;

Thomas F. Blizzard, Sr. (wife Martha Stafford) of South Carolina, died in Alabama, and DNA  match Voluntine Blizzard (wife Elizabeth Lovett) probably both were grandsons of Thomas Blizzard of the 1794 Darlington Dist. petition who was probably from Maryland as many report;

Thomas Blizzard of Delaware and first wife Eleanor Rodney;

Washington Blizzard and Mary Ann Cooper of Lawrence, Illinois;

Two Family FinderDNA matches of Stephen D. Blizzard and Nancy Glandon descendants through Family Finder, (Autosomal) testing;

Through mt-DNA  we also know the maternal origins of Lorana Blizzard (daughter of James Blizzard d. 1805 & Abiah Hand) who married Lewis Shelhorn.

Family Finder, (Autosomal) DNA testing can also prove a line through cousins.

DNA testing can prove which line you came from!

All you need is a 12 marker test to be Haplo-grouped, but the 12 marker test is only available if you telephone them. However, the more markers the better to discover where you came from.
