"Ever Widening Circle"
Quest for my Native American Roots
The ALLEN DNA Patrilineage 2 Project
ALL ALLEN Descendants (ALL branches of Allen’s) John Robb has updated our DNA project with him – Look for: Ralph1 of Sandwich and Coni’s haplotype.
I had sent him my research on Allen’s (past couple of yrs) and now that he has had time to go thru it – he has a new write up on my DNA (Uncle Russ Allen) part of this project! Our DNA (both) are being proven…. Rare & Ancient!
1. My haplotype is: I1a1b
2. Uncle Russ: is now R-ZZ10_1
(His has been changed MANY TIMES)
3. Aunt Bonnie (Veronica line) is: H
It seems to be I’ve picked up a lot of my Dad’s DNA (matching same projects as Uncle Russ)
I personally am matching several tribes also – Mainly Lumbee, Wacamaw, Pique-Shanee, Tuscarora (NY branch) & Hatteras tribes – Also Cumberland Gap tribes mainly believe Mother’s sides for Gap area.
