Early VA - What to do

Early Virginia Johnsons – What to do now?

 

We now know that it is not just one big Johnson family.

The question now becomes:

“Where did the immigrants come from?” and most importantly

“Who were their parents?”


You can use Lorand's charts for each of the Early Virginia Immigrant but with care. [Clues not Facts]

Others

 

 

Then try to obtain proof using vital, church, census, land, wills, and probate records along with bibles, letters and other home sources.

There are so many common and repeated names in this family that it is easy to confuse them. The time and place really needs to be considered when trying to attach events to a particular person or family.

Look at the other Y-DNA matches that are not in the project to look for possible areas of origin.

Invite them to join the project.

Unfortunately the Y-DNA in this family does appear to mutate quite a bit. The idea that one particular mutation can identify a particular line has not occurred in the Olive Group.

 

Ideas from Suzanne Johnston

 

Knowing what I now know, I think that [we should]:

I am determined that we can find the answer to this puzzle. 

 

It has been too many years, we need to give up all of this and start looking anew.
