Means Family Pedigrees

[meansAdmin]

We invite you to submit your "Pedigree" for the Means Family Project Patriarch page. (You don’t have to be a test participant to post your family pedigree.)  

There are two ways to make your pedigree available to the project administrator for posting on the Patriarch Page:
1.  Send the pedigree by email directly to carrie@worldfamilies.net in the simplified form described below  (If you send it this way, your pedigree will only be posted on the Patriarch Page, and will not be included in the Pedigree Forum)
Be sure to include  
                 Email address you wish to be posted with the pedigree
                 Kit number of the project participant whose pedigree this is
                 Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse for each generation (direct  male line).

2.  Log-in to post your pedigree on the Pedigree Forum.  By posting your pedigree on the forum, you are making it available for the Project Administrator to post it on the Patriarch Page, along with your contact information, and kit number (or code identity number).

1. You must be logged in to post on this forum.
   How do I register to post a pedigree?
   I've already registered. How do I log in?


2.  Please include your Kit number or Code Identity number if you have been tested for the project.


3. Please read the following instructions, then scroll down to the last posting on this forum and click "reply" in order to post your pedigree.


4. The pedigree for a Surname Project follows your paternal line.  Please post only the information for each generation:

Full Name of Earliest Known Male Ancestor for this Surname
His birthdate
Birthplace
Spouse’s name

(If you are missing any piece of this information, post another bit of identifying information) 

Suggestions for Posting your Pedigree on this forum:

o        Post four pieces of information for each ancestor

o        Begin with the earliest generation

o        Use standard abbreviations:  m=married, b=born, d=died, c=circa, Co=county, VA=Virginia, GA=Georgia, etc

o        Try to keep to one line per generation

o        Include only generations that have this family surname

o        Provide your name and email address as the pedigree provider

o        Provide the kit number and/or project code identity number if pedigree is for a tested participant

o        Use surname with each generation

o        Don’t use all caps

o        Don’t include anyone whose birthdate is after 1910, for privacy concerns.

o        Don’t number the generations 

Scroll down to the last posting on this forum and click "reply". Post your pedigree in the box provided, and click "Post".    

If you do not see a"reply" tab, it means you have lost your log in and will need to log in again in order to post. Go back to the project home page, log in again, and return to the pedigree forum. Login should hold the second time.

From an email sent by Byron Paddy Liles [byronpliles AT mchsi.com]:

"I'll try to be brief with this - - - - I do not know where/when
the Means' DNA was introduced into my lineage; however,
there are some possibilities purely speculative at this point.
 
My Grt-grt-gfthr, Geo. Liles was b. somewhere NC 1794 - -
parents unknown - - in 1814 he shows up in Maury County TN
where he marries my Grt-grt-gmthr, Elizabeth `Betsy' Flemons
(? splg of last name) b. Mar. 2, 1800 somewhere in VA (parents
unknown).  Somewhere circa 1820 they show up in IL where
they lived the rest of their lives.
 
Possibility #1:  My grt-grt-gfthr was perhaps ill-named LILES
 
Possibility #2:  Several Means families lived in Jersey & Greene
Counties IL where my grt-gfthr, grandfather, father, and myself
were born.  Soooo, the Means DNA could have been introduced
anywhere along the way.
 
FWIW:  My FTDNA results (3-4 yrs. now) have never matched
me with another Liles."
