Dear Cockrill Cousins,
Two announcements on the Cockrill family.
First - I have set up a Cockrill DNA project at www.familytreedna.com
Go to Surname Project and then down to Cockrill!
Go Direct:
http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=S58877&special=true
Purpose to have male Cockrill Family members from EVERY Cockrill line in
so that we can match early Cockrill family to see which families if any are
related.
Our goal is to find one Cockrill male who can trace his line back to every
early Cockrill family particularly in Northern Virginia. We may not have
the
documentation that we would like to have, but we can with DNA evidence have
100% proof as to which families are related.
IMPORTANT - It is critical to be sure that the Cockrill male DNA selected go
directly to an early or not so early Cockrill.
The cost is $99.00 per Cockrill male. Perhaps families could join together
in
the cost. Example 4 people contribute $25.00 to lower the cost per family.
Apparently it takes about two months to receive a report.
It is my hope that families will take the initiative to see that this
happens.
It is my opinion that many of the families are related. I am especially
curious
to compare William Cockril of King George and William Cockrill who married
Frances
Jones. (Larry & Rebecca please take special notice!)
Second - there is a possibility that I can print more copies of Cockrill
Families of
Northern Virginia. I look forward to hearing from family members who would
like a copy,
as I am considering printing more copies. There will be NO corrections or
additions!
Sorry!
Please let me know.
I have tried to reach several member of the Cockrill family with this email.
I apologize in advance if you receive two or more messages.
If you are not interested in this project please let me know and I will
remove your name
from the mailing list.
Before sending me a lot of emails on DNA please read the information on
www.familytreedna.com (I am not an expert on DNA - but would love to know
which families are
related and which are not.
By the way Families in England are more than welcome!
Their web site can answer questions far better than I.
Contact male Cockrill family members and ask them to volunteer. Share the
cost and get this
project moving. Families all accross America are doing this and are having
fantastic results.
This project belongs to all members of the Cockrill family!
Please forward this to all Cockrill family members who might be interested.
I love the Cockrill Family!
