Pollard Family Pedigrees

[pollardAdmin]

We invite you to submit your "Pedigree" for the Pollard 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?

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

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.

My paternal greatgrandmother was a POLLARD, Julia Elnora.  Her father was Noah and his father was Epaphroditus.  They emigrated from Vermont to New York State, Broome County.  Prior to that the family was from Great Britain.  I have recently come across some information which points to the possibility that the family may have been Jewish up to the time of the Inquisition in Europe and then melded themselves into the Protestant population for safety's sake.  Does anyone know anything about this remote possibility?

Hi, DCS.  Good luck with your research.  If you can supply names and any dates that you have, I can post it on the Patriarch page.

I have been looking for years for any information about my paternal grandfather, John Avery Pollard.  I know that he lived in Knoxville, TN but probably was not born there.  He married my grandmother, Minnie Ruth Wilmoth in 1919.  I also know that he might have had a brother named Jess Pollard.  I know that he was in the moonshine business in East Tennessee in the early 1900's.  I was told that he was killed in a knife fight in either Cincinatti or Chicago.  Very sketchy stuff.  If any of you have any information please let me know.  Thanks.

Well, still trying to find information about my grandfather, John Avery Pollard.  I do need to make one correction.  I remembered the uncle's name that dad talked about it was Jess Thompson not Pollard.  There was also a Tom Pollard.  I see from the posts that there were several Thomas Pollards.  Wonder if any of those could be related to my Tom Pollard. 

I get so frustrated with trying to find my grandfather.  It seems that he didn't exist before he married my grandmother, Minnie Ruth Wilmoth in 1919.

Grandfather on my Mother's side was Jesse Witt Pollard . Last known address was Montvale, VA in Bedford County, VA. Married to Ethel Smith Pollard (second wife) and had four offspring w/ 2 wives. First wife died.
Children include Mabel Miller Pollard (Hawkins), Jessie Pollard (Richards),
Lewis Pollard, and Helen Pollard (Yearout).
Any info will be helpful to start search for family history.

I am seeking information on my great-grandfather, James Pollard, born 1842 at King & Queen County, VA and who died 1899 at Baltimore.  He served in the Army of Northern Virginia during the Civil War, married to Susanne Bancroft Tyler Pollard, practiced law in Baltimore, and is now resting at Green Mount Cemetery at Baltimore.  He was the son of John Pollard and Juliet Jeffries Pollard -- and produced, with the help of his wife, Lulie, Gurdon and Juliet. 

Juliet Jeffries Pollard Talton was my grandmother.
