Greetings Board Visitors and List Members:
I'd like to announce the beginning of the Channell Surname DNA Project. I believe this
project will be an important resource in resolving some of the presently suspect Channell
Family lineage issues.
As project manager, I have identified two specific goals of the DNA project:
1) to substantiate and verify and/or disprove the various paper genealogies representing
the Channell family; and
2) attempt to link the Virginia and Ohio Channell families with the Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Georgia and other southern Channell family lines.
For those interested in the project, you may view further details at:
http://www.cfhg.org/dna
The study will target male Channell descendents through the Y-DNA testing process. While
the DNA study is not available directly to females of the Channell families, female
descendents of a Channell male with a brother, uncle, etc. can participate through the
male participating in the testing.
While the project is open to any male Channell descendent with an interest in
participating, I am hopeful that the first three participants will represent a line of the
three brothers; Jeremiah, Joseph and John. I believe that this approach will establish
significant and valuable baseline data for future reference.
Further questions about this important DNA project may be addressed to me at:
dna(a)cfhg.org
Thank you for your interest.
