Arters/Arthur VA/WV

[Ann Newell]

34 years I have searched for the parents of William Arters/Arthur 1770-1832. He md Mary Friend in Harrison Co VA/WV 1802. They were the parents of 10 known children. He resided in VA/WV as the county lines changed Harrison-Randolph-Nicholas & Webster Co in what is now WV. His death occured in Webster Co WV ca 1832.
The spelling of ARTERS is found in many county records.Descendents today carry the ARTHUR spelling. A DNA test has been ordered and hopefully will lead us to his parentage, sibilings, place of origin.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about this line.
Thanks Ann

Ann and I are cousins. Would love finding a male Arthur in my end of the gene pool for DNA tests!

Ignore the 'angry face' -- I wasn't paying attention...

Hello all!

I've just received my DNA results (mtDNAplus) and it is still very complexing and confusing. I've been trying to upload my GEDCOM to the FTDNA site and have had no luck. Does anyone know anything about how to do this. I didn't think it was that hard. But its not working.
