I appreciate finding your post. We have been emailing dcissell(a)annapolis.net for aprx 6 months & have never
received a response. Quite honestly, we figured there was noone on the other end.
We are the Cissell / Cecil DNA tests that you are referring to. 2 of 3 tests are completed. The 3rd (the 67 point test)
has been submitted, we hope for results over the upcoming weeks. We have been working very hard on our geneology,
and have done a very thorough job linking Sir Knight Thomas Cecil generations directly to the current generations. Tons
of supporting docs.
Again, we would like to request acceptance into the group. We didn't see the means to access a link to respond to the thread posted http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/CISSELL/2008-08/1217783223 & would appreciate instruction on receiving & sharing thread info. We have organized a great site to share our info, if you would be interested. Lots of info & photos, including a great assortment of Thomas Cecil Earl of Exiter artwork (public museum pieces, haven't located any privately held pieces yet).
If someone could Please respond to this post. it would be greatly appreciated.

This result certainly is very exciting. From what I could see from the
Cissell website, 54035 and 57787 have a 35/36 match and 31919 and 57787
have a 35/37 match. I do not know why the 37th allele is missing for
54035. A 36/37 match implies 10 generations to the common ancestor with
95% confidence, and 35/37 implies 14 generations. My wife's distance to
John Cissell d. 1698 is 11 generations, which is within this range. With
only 1-2 mutations, the distance to the common ancestor easily could be
1500. Exeter
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cecil,_1st_Earl_of_Exeterwas) born in
1542 and his more famous father Burghley
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Cecil%2C_1st_Baron_Burghley), Queen
Elizabeth I's longtime adviser, was born in 1520. From the DNA, either of
these gentleman could be on a direct line to John d. 1698, but of course
DNA cannot prove such a hypothesis.

Hi Everyone,
As part of the DNA testing efforts with the Cecil-Cissell Surname
Project (
<https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Cecil-Cissell>https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Cecil-Cissell
), we now have test data from a descendant of the 1st Earl of Exeter,
Thomas Cecil (1542-1623).
The testing is almost complete. The results show a very close match
between the descendant of Thomas Cecil and with two descendants of
the John Cecill (Cissell) who came to St. Mary's County Maryland
about 1658 and died there in 1698. This means that both existing
families are closely related and do have a common male ancestor.
The Exeter Cecil line includes a David Cecil who died in 1643. Since
we believe that John Cecill (Cissell) was born about 1640, his
connection with the Exeter line probably occurred prior to this David
Cecil. The current DNA results cannot tell us exactly where the
connection was, but do suggest that it was likely in the time period
covered by the known Exeter Cecil pedigree.
