Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Greetings members,
We now have a DNA project for the Chesnut (var. spellings) family.
At present, the project is for males because it is a Y-chromosome analysis
only. You can find out more about it at...
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/chesnut/
The surnames included in our project are Chesnut, Chesnutt, Chestnut,
Chestnutt, Chesnot, Chesnau, Chesney, McChesney and Chastain. We should be
able to determine whether or not these families are related. Please
consider participating in this project. If you are a female, perhaps you
can encourage your male relatives to participate. No blood is taken; cheeks
are swabbed in order to collect cells for their DNA. One can collect the
sample with a special kit in his home and mail the sample to the lab. First
of all, read about it at the web site listed above. Contributions can also
be made at the web site to help others participate in the study.
Merry Christmas,
Don
