I would be happy to help contribute to the Calvert DNA project, for someone.
I am related through my Alabama William Calvert line. My ggg grand father
was Robert Calvert married to Mary Catherine Moon.
FYI:
I sent this note out before, and got the information where to send the
donation, but as you can see I live abroad. I carried the address with me to
Washington DC, and when I arrived, everything in my suitcase was soaking
wet, and the address Along with other genealogical papers was missing, or
one of those unreadable.
OR You may have received the donation; some of my letters in the suitcase
were stamped and arrived at their destination(s). But I have not heard
anything (this was early JULY.) Blame American Airlines!
I am also willing to help with the Calvert Cemetary upkeep.
I think one of my Calverts setteled in Calvert Texas.

address harvested from group mailings

The Calvert surname (sic) DNA project now has 20 samples of DNA which are
divided into 3 distinct groups:
1. Calverts and Colberts who are Calvert who have origins in Prince William
County Calverts. There are 5 classic exact matches of DNA and 1 2 step
removed DNA on 25 markers for a total of 6 participants.
2. There are 4 Matches which include descendents of John Calvert b 1766,
Isaac b 1740-50 etc. These 4 families would relate to John Calvert who lived
at Bald Eagle TWp, Mifflin County, PA. Origins remain in question but there
are at least two indications: Jesse Colbert of Champaign Co IL, Jesse
Calvert b 1760 VA, John Colbert who married Catherine Lynn who has been
proven to be a Calvert and so on. These families appear to descend from the
ancestry of William Calvert, father of George Calvert b 1668 who married
Elizabeth Doyne and his son George Calvert b 1694. There is one anomoly
among these as the DNA does have Harris / Harrison Matches which would point
to John Calvert b 1692.
Among this mix is descendents of Reuben Calvert and the 2 step removed
marker is Enoch.
Thomas Calvert who married Sarah Williamson
A John or George Calvert of MD or unknown.
This family group is crucial to the opening of the MIdwest out of VA/PA into
Ohio. The DNA of a Descendent of Thomas Calvert has become imperative for
proceding on further research and would aid as well descendents of John
Calvert of Ireland and the Calverts related to the Chenowith line and so on.
3. a distinct group of three Calvert matches.
4. the remaining participants have not matched DNA.
