FTDNA Anderson Andersson Andersen Anders Ander

Mark . . . . I hope that you realize that R1b, R-M269, is the most common haplogroup in Western British and the British Isles and that “accidental” matches are quite common. By accidental, I mean lacking a common ancestor in recorded history. I’m still hoping that you can explain how you may be related to others in the Anderson DNA group. Otherwise, it seems to me that you are flooding this forum with information that is irrelevant to most of us.

A lot of people match markers, when they match surnames odds of being related more generations you go back. When you match strongly your migration patterns odds increase. Most DNA people only look at matches when DNA is only one of many tools in the genealogists tool box. Since name origins of Ander to son goes back to Germany of my Proto-Germanic R-U106, and Elwald/Ewald surname and we are still strong in County Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland migrating as Border Reiver from the English-Scottish Borderlands, if DNA is a tool in finding relatives then I am related to the Anderson.

Hi Mark. The group Administrators do not have access to you kit, which I assume is kit 101829 in the name of Mark Stephen Elliott. You have only given the Administrators ” Limited Access” in order to investigate your match with the Anderson group. This Anderson match on this kit only appears to be at the y-DNA 12 match. Is this your kit number? I do find the information you have added very interesting however.

Maurice Anderson, Paid money for data, and to use that data to do extend my family history. No one can do family history unless all are allowed to speak freely. FTDNA has kicked me off several blogs. That is not allowing for my free speech. It does not do me any good if eventually I develop this free speech if I am the only one not allowed to be kicked out of blogs. Do not have free speech on many blogs that is why I circumvent on other blogs. It is part of my most conservative believes as soon as my family came from the UK, to me they have the Union-Jack and laugh people as Royalists fighting in the Battle of Dunbar being ‘transported as slaves to the colonies’; https://gorrenberry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/SELLING-SCOTS-AS-SLAVES-IS-FUNNY-TO-THE-TORIES-2.mp4?_=1 Mine were transported to the Colony of Massachusetts.

One can not steer away from ones own beliefs, to do family history-genealogy, because those beliefs, with me in my conservatism Mar 28, 1692 of my many verified by Y-DNA great is people get to speak freely when doing family history. The Constitution of my nation was written in Philadelphia, a town first settled by William Penn and his people, what would happen to freedom of speech and religion in the American Constitution if William Penn and his people were as Cotton Mather a Puritan a supporter of Cromwell would have done. It is those Harvard Puritanical ideologies in Boston which hung witches and Quakers for their expression of speaking freely and Mary Dyer a Quaker in Boston for her religious freedoms. Though the Latter Day Saints and the Jews, and of tribes of Israel are of the chosen people, been utilizing the services because of the beliefs of a tribe of Israel, which came to America, and offers what they call baptism to their ancestors. Always in the utilization at first the largest data base pre-web, never in a half century was I ever censored from utilizing materials in their library which many are being made available online, nor do people which I share (genealogy-family history is sharing not dictating), family history with shares their, and this is how people naturally do it. To constrain it by people that are these Harvard Puritan types, does not allow the free flow of family history among people, and any FTDNA which has administrators which constrain this free flow is not a genealogical family history site. There are some blog with do not have administrators, and just co-administrators which can not dismiss people for what they say about these families. These blogs which just have co-administrators, and no administrator, are genealogical family history blogs of FTDNA. Unless all have the right to speak freely as in the Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah, on the FTDNA blogs, accurate family history can not be truly found with FTDNA which follows a corporate structure to silence people to try to maximize their profits.

The chief’s https://elwald.com/clan-elliot-29th-chief-margaret-eliott-of-redhuegh-stobs/ family was given a large dowry to marry into the Scots of Harden.

At the same time no doubt that Sir Gideon of Highchester’s second son William and the ancestor of the friend and parent of the author the representative of the family of Harden also embraced Quakerism. Gideon the latter converted entered into controversy with the Rev.

Mark,

Mark………………I didn’t take time to read all of this, much less follow all the links. I’m hoping that you can explain to me briefly how all or any of this applies to us Anderson.

I am a Grissom, Gresham, Grisham. Woul love to connect with project. I am an Anderson too

Although I had posted below about my Anderson genetic connections in my yDNA, as far as I know, it is not connected to the Rev James Anderson – he is in my paternal grandmother’s line. BUT, his daughter married Robert Taylor, of Rutherford County, NC. He lived within 30 miles of where my 5th great-grandfather Robert Carruth lived, so I am not ruling out a yDNA connection to one of his sons.

Also, no connections to Carr or Carruthers. It was traditionally thought that Carruth was a derivative of the latter; however, that has pretty much been debunked.

Could not find any connection myself.

George Coffee Anderson https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/w/r/i/Joseph-L-Wright-MS/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0772.html was born November 16, 1800, and died October 06, 1889. He married Sarah Webb. https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/w/r/i/Joseph-L-Wright-MS/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1156.html https://www.geni.com/people/David-Anderson/6000000090555100406

Thank you for the reply. I have solid information up to and including George Coffee Anderson, it is his ancestors that I am seeking information on.

DIAHAN SOUTHARD APRIL 2, 2015 DNA Reveals UK Genetic Roots https://www.yourdnaguide.com/ydgblog/2018/10/19/ancestor-reconstruction A new DNA study details the origins of UK residents of European ancestry. Here’s why this matters to your genetic genealogy (even if that’s not your heritage).

Richard Anderton, Name with ‘ton’, is a place name. Like Johnston(e), a predominately a place name in north of Annan, and just north of Lockerbie, Scotland. The name Anderton, is from just northwest of Bolton, England, Lancashire, was West Riding Yorkshire of Danish Northumbria. ‘-ton’, toun/town, or a farmstead, has a Google Map name in the given locality; https://www.google.com/maps/place/Anderton,+UK/@53.611685,-3.1379588,9z/ It also shows in County Lancashire as ‘de Anderton’, like William de Anderton. William of Anderton, becoming William Anderton. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22de+Anderton%22 Surname census concentration of the name is shown in region also, with https://named.publicprofiler.org/ giving a surname ‘hot spot’ at locality.

If you Anderson want to become part of a top notch genealogical reiver FTDNA group, in the Bordelands of Scotland, James M. Irvine, is an excellent admin of the https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/irwin/about/background surname site. People internationally are acquiring information which I have uploaded to the blog. Though would like; 21379 Anderson James Anderson b 1773 d 1850 United States R-M269 Who is part of this site, and the Irwin Surname site also give an opinion on it.

Mark – Your research is quite impressive. Thanks for posting the link to your Gorrenberry web site. I have read your posts on several other sites in the past and always found them interesting. I have on many occasions thought about contacting you but just never got around to it. I am sure you don’t know what procrastination is. The Germanic, Viking, and Scottish info you have gathered on your site for the evolution of the Anderson surname is directly applicable to my FGC15048 haplogroup also. My Y-111 STR Matches number 13 and are made up of the highland Gordons, Setons, Sutherlands, Grants and Shaws. I am still trying to figure out how I connect to this most powerful Seton/Gordon Clan and noble family. My earliest DNA verified Anderson ancestors were Matthew and John Anderson who were “long-hunters” in Middle Tennessee and signed the Cumberland Compact in 1779 at French Lick (later Fort Nashboro – now Nashville, Tn). They later received a bounty land grant located at Station Camp Creek on the Cumberland River in Sumner County for defending the new settlements from Indian attacks when it was still wilderness. There were several other unrelated Anderson families that arrived in the following years which greatly confuses everyone. Every Anderson family seems to have a John and a James. MY best educated guess paper trail currently takes me back through Colonial Virginia to Scotland. I have found many of the Anderson trees you find online to be questionable. Mistakes made by earlier researchers are now just blindly copied by others and posted. DNA testing is the only thing that sorts them out. My Big Y results has one Gordon match and has broken down a huge brick wall for me. It provides a “North Star” that dictates that my Anderson family tree must eventually get back to Scotland and Scandinavia. I just keep hoping more Andersons will Big-Y test. For the benefit of other Anderson readers looking for their roots: descendants of these two men settled at: Martin Creek in Jackson County Tennessee; Giles County Tennessee; Jackson County Alabama (my family); Union County Illinois; Grundy County Missouri; and Ellis County Texas.
