Hi Carol,
I was hitting nothing but a stone wall with no where to go until I had
a match with the DNA project. It opened a completely new opportunity
for me. Found out I was related to the Cades Cove Tn Chambers and that
we shared a lot of the same names. Has opened up a complete new avenue
for me to search.
Still need some of the Haywood County, NC Chambers. I believe most are
descendants of the Burke Co. NC Chambers. I had some older Chambers
say we were kin to those Burke Co. Chambers. Anyway, I do have kin in
Habersham County Georgia and many of the Haywood County Chambers moved
into the area in the middle 1800's. A few test would prove once and
for all if my suspicions are correct that we're all of the same family.
Tried to interest both groups in sending in a DNA sample but I guess
they're content with the info they have and don't want to prove or
disprove the kinship.
Wish the test were a little less expensive.

A member of my Chambers family submitted his dna a few years ago;
there are many Chambers men who had joined the group, but none has
matched my Chambers line. Between the desc. of this family, we have
spent alot of $ helping other Chambers possibilities tested. None has
proved a match. However, because there was a Chambers family of NJ
who was very prolific and whose desc. went to Canada, as did mine,
those researchers insisted for years that we were of the same family.
I spent alot of money and time trying to connect; then dna resolved it
all; we may have been neighbors, but we were not related. The cost of
our dna project was worth every cent, as it has eliminated alot of
error in research.
