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
Glad to see you are still around, my friend. Hope we can discuss Childers again soon. I found another Philemon in Louisa County. Didn't think he wondered that far from the James River.

It's a HOBBY FOLKS!!! Some people get way to serious, Genealogy is a
interesting HOBBY, something you do in your spare time that you enjoy doing. Yes we
all strive to be "correct' but so what if I make a mistake I did my best.
Show me where I screwed up ok fine thank you but don't be a jerk about it. I
doubt if there's any one out there that hasn't made a mistake at on time or

The way I look at the DNA groups and other sites is that it is just a tool for me to further my individual trees.? Places to look for clues.? I do not have a Childress to test for the DNA group.? My grandmother was a Childress.? I look to the DNA site and the other sites for clues or clues to be posted for my tree.? I use these clues as a stepping stone or map to do my research at the libraries and courthouses where I find the proof needed?to add?a piece to my tree puzzle.? ?I am a participant in three other DNA groups that I have my information posted to in hopes of someone finding me (as they have)? I also have my trees posted on ancestry.? I don't understand why some don't want to share their information or why people argue over who does what - so stupid cause all of us who do this have a need to know and to trace our own ancestry!? It is such a thrill to find something new or to met someone who is kin to me.? On my Walker DNA group our administrator is almost like my mot!
her!? We all help out when a Walker request is made as it might lead to another discovery and all of our groups have the same goals.? Anyways, that is my two cents!? Childress is a line that I would like to know alot more about and I have posted alot about my guy out there in hope of someone connecting to him.? Marie Jennings

Patrick,
In order to do original research on any lineage, the researcher
inevitably chases false leads. False leads include Childress/Childers
documents that after extensive investigation turn out to belong to
different DNA groups. Avoiding dead ends include resolving whose DNA you
are tracking. You can't do Viking Childress research without keeping
track of some non-Viking DNA lineages, or conversely you can't do Celtic
Childress research without keeping track of non-Celtic DNA lineages. DNA
groupings make use of each other's research.
This DNA Project hired professional researchers to Xerox every
Childress-Childers document for a 100-150 years in about a dozen
counties. The majority of those documents were for Viking Childress
lineages and not directly applicable to the Celtic Childress lineages we
were researching. We waded through them looking for Celtic needles in
Viking haystacks. Other non-Celtic DNA researchers helped, sharing what
they knew.
Within the Viking Childress DNA are several different immigrations
(perhaps 3 or 4 identifiable and who knows how many immigration dates
never to be identified) spread over 150-200 years, not all to the James
River Valley. In all likelihood, the 37-cdyb and 38-cdyb were at one
time two brothers which would mean, ironically, some 38-cdyb markers are
NOT as closely related to other 38-cdyb markers as they are to some
37-cdyb lineages. Therefore identical DNA patterns (38-cdyb; 38-cdyb)
may share a very distant common ancestor and non-matching DNA patterns
(38-cdyb; 37-cdyb) may share a very recent common ancestor, 2 brothers.
DNA will be more h
elpful when technology permits a thousand or 10
thousand markers to be analyzed. In the meantime there may be different
ways to organize a spreadsheet.
You may find it useful to make spreadsheets unique to your research and
that differ from mine and others. That is the nature of research.
Spreadsheets are opinions, working tools meant to be adapted to the
questions and needs of the researcher. So make the ones you use and
others will make the ones they use and I'll make the ones I use. People
can go to your website and you can do as you like.
Presently courthouse records are crumbling if not stolen by the public.
Low quality microfilm is frequently illegible and destined to loose what
it sought to preserve. Gravestone inscriptions are disappearing or being
altered. If our descendants a million years from now were to come from
the future to talk to us, they would say "find, copy and preserve what
you have in front of you. I, your future descendant can re-think and
analyze in my own day and age. What I cannot do is recreate lost
documents and original source material".so says your future descendants.
What they would value least is our analysis. Each person can reason for
themselves.
What is needed by the Viking DNA group is more original research, more
documents Xeroxed transcribed and understood. Significant funds need to
be spent. Who is doing that? The Viking DNA group needs more
researchers who have the resources and motivation to collect documents,
documents and more documents. Some of the best pioneers in
Childers-Childress research in the past didn't even carry the surname
but laid a foundation anyway. The Viking Childress DNA group needs
anybody and everybody who is willing to help but hurts itself with a
history of bickering amongst themselves with little etiquette and much
attitude. I expect a certain weirdness on public forums, but dominant
personalities in the Viking Childresses post under multiple e-mail
identities so they can be anonymous and abusive to each other. Every
time the Viking DN
A group fights, I see Viking Childress group members
and others leave the list, which hurts us all.
The concept of "James River Viking Clan" seems restrictive without
benefit. I expect it would alienate the people you reject. Viking
Childresses need more help, not less. It is no tine to alienate any
researcher because they don't qualify for your group. The Viking
Childresses should be laying good will to any researcher willing to
spend their time and money chasing dead ends they can't yet prove.
The "James River Viking Clan" does not have neat edges. Adopted
descendants would carry the Childress/Childers surname but wouldn't have
your matching DNA. They would be excluded from your group but might have
light to shed on it. There do appear to be immigrants, who match to
your DNA, use your surname, who never settled in the James River Valley.
There are groups that match James River Viking Clan's DNA perfectly but
use other surnames. The "James River Viking Clan" does not have neat
edges.
Since clues are so scarce, I don't see the benefit of eliminating
options. Most people don't like others to classify them. Genealogy gets
used as a snobbery game; who can join the Daughters of the American
Revolution or Sons of the Confederacy. Whose ancestors trace to
Charlemagne. I feel that everybody has a DNA journey to investigate and
an equal tale to tell, so I say suspend judgment. Since you never know
where some clue will show up, I say drag whatever you've got in here and
let's have a look at it. Welcome to the Childress-Childers DNA Project;
no membership requirements.
Regards, Gary
Hi, Gary
I hope all is going well with you. I see that your Childers/Childress
DNA Project now consists of about 90 individuals. You should be proud
of your accomplishments in "growing" the population to the extent it now
exists.
As you may recall, I maintain a separate website tracking the results
and additional data for a subset of your primary group. This "James
River Viking Clan" consists of 50+ individuals, most of w
hom are
registered only in the Childers/Childress DNA Project for which you and
Jason Harris are the administrative managers.
I'd like very much to have access to some of the administrative tools
available only to Project Administrators to handle some of the
analytical data for my subset. You may recall that on a few occasions,
I've volunteered to assist you on the overall project but you've chosen
to decline my offers. That, of course, is your own business and I
respect your position.
I believe another way to approach this situation is for me to initiate a
project subset which will be limited to only the "James River Viking
Clan." I'll perform the function of Administrative Manager for this
project and will closely monitor the admission of any potential donors.
In the event any future participants ask for admission to the project,
I'll send them over your way for the initial DNA testing. Only if they
fall into the proper marker values will they be asked to join our subset
project.
All the above can, of course, be initiated by me with only the
permission of FTDNA administrators. While I suppose this would be a
possible route, I'd much rather initiate this second project with you
and I in full agreement and understanding. It's important that you
understand that should a person accept the invitation to join the "James
River Viking DNA Project, such a move will in no way affect their
membership in your primary group. They can be members of both Projects.
I'll look forward to your response.
Thanks and Regards,
Pat Childress

Hey, let me know if you need anything else. I would love to have the
Philemon info. I found a description on him the other day. Tall, dark, and
handsome-well, they didn't say handsome.
