DNA Testing

So have there been any DNA studies of the CASS families?

How many distinct genetic groups among the CASS?

G John Cass

Hi Dennis, In FamilyTreeDNA we have 15 groups of people called cass or case with different dna. John

I'm thinking the only way we can make the connection back to the UK is through DNA>

I think we need help on using DNA to make the connection back to the Uk, if you have any suggestions that would be helpful.

Dennis J Yancey

what have you done so far?

in what ways do you think DNA testing will make the intercontinental connection

(Im not disagreeing with you - just want to better grasp your knowledge of DNA testing techniques and methods)

 

Us Yanceys have the same problem

Well, I was able to make connections with cousins who are distantly related, and as such prove we are from the line. My thoughts were that we find someone in the UK whose ancestor did't come over to Mass Bay Colony, but has the same Y-DNA. I was thinking that's much more likely through Ancestry DNA and 23 and me now. I'm not sure how to do that.

I will be happy to provide some feedback on the subject - just give me a few days.

 

in many ways your CASS family is like my YANCEY family - unable to make an old world connection.

Thanks I appreciate any help on this.
