DNA Working Group Established for
Corders (and Bakers) in the J1 Haplogroup
Visit the Working Group "Baker & Corder J1 DNA Research Project" at Yahoo.com
Eligibility
Due to privacy issues surrounding DNA, participation
in the working group is by invitation only and is limited
to those who are Corder (or related-line) researchers who
have by DNA tests conclusively proven a connection
with descendants of Elijah Corder II (b. ca.1806-1808 in Tazewell
Co., VA d. 1893 in Scott Co., VA).
If you would like to subscribe
to this working group and and share information within this
group you must:
1) Have a Y-DNA analysis on a direct-line male
Corder or Baker family member, the results of which show a match
or a close match to other Corders or Bakers in this J1 Haplogroup.
I recommend Family
Tree DNA as a testing facility (join the
Corder family project or the Baker family project to receive
a discount on testing),
AND/OR
2) Have completed enough traditional genealogical ("paper-trail")
research to reasonably establish a connection to the Corder
family first of Greenway Court, Frederick Co., VA, then of Burke's
Garden, Tazewell Co., VA, then of points west.
If you can prove a close relationship (within the
last 100 - 150 years) to someone who has already tested, please
contact the group administrator
to be considered for admission without DNA testing.
If your already-completed DNA results have unexpectedly
matched this J1 Corder or Baker family group (up to a to
a genetic distance of 1 in a 12-marker test, or 2 in a 25-marker
test) , you are automatically eligible to join this group. Please
contact the group administrator
with your kit number and lineage details and you will be admitted.
If you think you may be part of this family line,
I encourage you to get a direct-line male Corder or Baker in your
family to test, or contact Laura
Henderson with your conclusive traditional research connecting
you to this family.
This working group will be invaluable
for establishing confirmed genealogical connections within these
two families and pushing our history further back, possibly conclusively
establishing a common ancestor.
