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).

   How do I register to post a pedigree?
   I've already registered. How do I log in?

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.

Hi, REH.  It's posted.  Thanks.

I'm sure there is an answer to my dilemma somewhere on this website, but please humor an old man and help.

I recently had a y-DNA test done, as did one of my distant cousins (ID 6JKHE).  We have documentary proof of our relationship, with our common ancestor being John1  Hollis b. 1736 (see pedigree above).  I am seventh generation of descent, son of Darwin6 Hollis, and my cousin is, I believe, sixth generation, descended from a brother of Jesse2.

From what little I understand about y-DNA, should our results not be identical or very nearly so?  They are not.  At 390, I show a 24, and my cousin a 25.  At 388, I show a 13, and he a 10. 

Can you tell my what the reason might be for the discrepancy?  Thank you very much,

Bob Hollis

Hi, Bob.  I have passed your question on to Terry, and you should receive an answer soon. Hope he can help.

Carrie, I need help on the possible connection of the HOLLIS Family to the CHARLES and MARY WRIGHT family of Davidson Co., TN.  Charles and Mary were from North Carolina, perhaps Lincoln Co., before settling in Davidson Co., TN, where he made his will in Dec 1825 and where it was probated in Dec 1826. He and Mary (called POLLY in the will) had seven children listed as secondary heirs: Polly HOPE, James Wright, Charles Wright, Rebecca COOK, Jane HAGAR, HOLLIS WRIGHT, and Elizabeth Umphries (Humphreys).

As his principal heirs he named his wife and JAMES HOLLIS HAGAR WRIGHT. This man was probably a young grandson who lived with the grandparents to care for them in their last days and thus received the bulk of the estate.

Each of the seven children of Charles and Mary and their descendants used the HOLLIS name as a given name for their sons.

I have been researching this family for 50 years and still cannot find the missing link.

Robert Powell Carver, son of
Jonas Jackson Carver and Emma Ruth Allen, son of
Talley Guill Carver and Ranie Catherine Goodman, daughter of
Robert Jackson Goodman and Permelia Caroline Crudup, daughter of
Josiah Crudup (IV) and Louisa Jane Wright, daughter of
Charles Wright and Mary Ann Hessey, son of
HOLLIS WRIGHT and Sarah Humphreys, son of
CHARLES WRIGHT (d.1826) and MARY

I have two questions to ask:  Does anyone know what lineage Captain James Hollis belongs to and how do you interpret the results of Captain James Hollis DNA results?  I have to point out that there is Native American ancestry on the one of the female lines found in the Tennessee Hollis lineage, which is in my direct lineage.  I have been doing research on my mom's ancestry and my common ancestor is Captain James Hollis who was born in 1727 and died in 1794 in Tennessee.  I found the Hollis surname project and that is how I saw the results for Captain James Hollis.

Not sure if there's much point in this as there seems to be zero activity and my Y-results haven't been added. Anyhow, for what it's worth...

Joseph Hollis b. 1765 Ellesmere Shropshire England, d. Unknown, m. Sara Matthews 1792
  Samuel Hollis b. 1795 Loppington Shropshire England, d. 1853 London, m. Ann James 1852
    Richard James Hollis b. 1834 London, d. 1890 London, m. Mary Ann Edwards 1856
      John Edward Hollis b. 1860 London, d. unknown, m. Emily (Emma) Kiss 1886
        Thomas Edward Hollis b. 1889 London. d. 1959 London, m. Elsie Sarah West 1922


Thomas was my grandfather.
