I paid for my brother's [Cedric Thomas] Y-DNA test with
familytree.com and I
have the password and access to the information, Only one surnane match was
ever found and we can't find a common ancestor. Several close matches were
found with other surnames. I am not6 familiar with autosomal testing,.
How does it differ fron y-DNA? How is
rootsweb.com involved?

I totally agree with this posting. I think it would encourage other
testers if they could see the lineages and locations of those who have
tested and be able to contact them freely. My male cousin from another
line tested and our SHORT project is very open and YDNA broke a brick wall
down for us that had been in place for at least 75 years. Being able to
access pedigrees and email addresses is important to the collabortion.
I have a chapman brick wall that I have spent a lot of time on -I cannot
find a living Chapman male willing to donate. I resorted to autosomal DNA
testing. I was able to prove my earliest ancestor, Francis A Chapman b.
about 1812 KNOX TN was brother to Asahel P Chapman b. 1818 KNOX TN. A
female descendent and I did the test and we shared DNA at a level to
support what the paper trail suggests. Sure there are many trees on the
internet that say they were brothers but no one had any PROOF that they
were brothers. I still don't know who their father was. I have ideas but
no definitive proof.
i think once you are a part of a project you should be allowed certain
access. And for those of us still on the outside, it would encourage
people like me to try harder to find that living CHAPMAN- my last male
chapman died 1960's and I have traced all my gggrandfather's brother's
lines to try to find a MALE Chapman. If after finding this unknown Chapman
he agreed to test for this distant crazy cousin (namely me), I would feel
just like Bryce.

My wife is a Chapman and I have done a lot of research on her line. Her
brother Jerry took
the 37 marker test for Y-DNA on
familytreedna.com and it was posted in
the Chapman area,
To see the area you need a kit number and a password and since we paid
for half of the test,
we got the kit number and password from Jerry.
It turns out that my wife and Patty Chapman P. Brown seem to be fairly
closely related.
35 out of 37 match. 90% within 12 generations. I have some pretty good
circumstantial evidence that the links merge within about 8 generations
with a Wm Chapman of Winchester, VA. I won't go through the
circumstantial evidence here.
Now the information on the website is password protected and it does not
list the names or the email addys for those who took the test. Now I
guess Ernie Chapman can, with the permission of another person, give out
the name and email.
I understand that there should be some privacy here, but I am puzzled by
one thing. If a person agrees, why can't that person put his name and
email on the list? Most of us want to be found by distant cousins so
that we can share that information.
If nothing else, perhaps we could if we so chosse to post the
information on this group.
Most of us are not wanted by the police. We are trying to find cousins
and find info.
To put it bluntly, people can have their privacy if they want but they
should also be able to disseminate the information freely if they want.
Maybe I am overboard on this issue. I am willing to listen to
counter-arguments.
