GENERAL
COMMENTS
As often seems to
happen, many of the articles in this issue are about DNA. Ancestry is making changes to focus
more on its core businesses and products, and Family Tree DNA has a sale on a
couple of products and is expanding its offerings of analytical tools. And I am trying to make the GFA website
and DNA summaries more helpful.
DonÕt forget to let the
organizers know if you want to go to either of the Graves gatherings in the
U.S. this summer. Contact John
Graves at johngtmti@aol.com for information about the one in Washington, DC, or
vicinity on Aug. 15 or 17, and contact Ron Graves at gravesronn@cs.com for the
one in San Antonio, TX on July 25 and 26.

ANCESTRY.COM
DISCONTINUING SEVERAL SERVICES AND BUSINESSES
A blog
posting on Ancestry.com stated in part: ÒWeÕre always looking to focus our
efforts in a way that provide the most impact, while also delivering the best
service and best product experience to users. To that end, weÕve decided to
retire some of our services: MyFamily, MyCanvas, Genealogy.com, Mundia and the
Y-DNA and mtDNA tests.
We will note that the
AncestryDNA (autosomal) test is not affected by this change and will continue
to be available as we continue to invest in this new technology. Only the y-DNA
and mtDNA tests will be retired.
Starting September 5,
2014, these services will no longer be available to access. Genealogy.com is
the exception to the rule, and will continue in a slightly different form. If
you are an active member or subscriber to one of these services, you will be
contacted directly with details of how to transition the information youÕve
created using these services.Ó
There are some links at
the end of the blog article for more information.
Recent blog articles
discussing this are by Dick
Eastman and Debbie
Kennett.
In a reaction to the
announcement by Ancestry.com, a recent communication from Family Tree DNA to
DNA group administrators said:
On Thursday (June 5),
Ancestry.comª announced that they will no longer sell Y-DNA and mtDNA
tests. Additionally, the results
from past Y-DNA and mtDNA tests will no longer be available after September 5,
2014.
There is no guarantee
on what the future holds for Ancestry.com'sª autosomal DNA offering so we
strongly recommend that you tell people that tested with Ancestry.comª to
transfer their Y-DNA and Autosomal DNA to Family Tree DNA where our main focus
is genetic genealogy. mtDNA is not transferable
because of compatibility issues.
Family Tree DNA is
committed to supporting these valuable genealogical tests today and in the
future. You should encourage
anyone who has tested with Ancestry.comª to transfer their
record to Family Tree DNA as soon as possible.
The Y-DNA and Autosomal
DNA transfer options are listed below:
$19 |
Y-DNA 33 Marker
Transfer |
¥ Store your results on FTDNA. ¥ Participate in group projects. ¥ No matches or haplogroup predictions |
$19 |

Y-DNA46
For anyone who orders a
test transfer to FTDNA, be sure to join the Graves DNA project when you do
that. You can order the transfers
and other tests directly from the Graves project order page here.

THE
FUTURE OF GENETIC GENEALOGY ACCORDING TO FTDNA
Bennett Greenspan,
founder and president of Family Tree DNA recently spoke at the Southern
California Genealogical Society conference about ÒThe Future of Genetic
Genealogy.Ó According to a post by
Roberta Estes in her DNAeXplained blog, the high points of the presentation
included:
1. There will be a new Y SNP matching capability released
in the next few days.
2. ÒRegulatory issues are a larger issues than the
science.Ó Bennett discusses Òarmwrestling with the FDA.Ó
3. If prices of SNP chips that test over 2 million
locations donÕt drop substantially in the next couple of years, then genealogy testing
likely will not utilize the next generation of SNP chip, but will move directly
to full genome sequence testing. This may happen in the 3-5 year range but
will, for sure in the 5-10 year range.
The first point, that
of Y SNP matching capability is something that is greatly needed, and which may
be extremely helpful as we begin to rely more and more on SNPs to determine
relatedness and ancestry, rather than the STRs that have been used in Y-DNA
testing for the first 15 years of genetic genealogy testing.
A video of the
livestream of BennettÕs presentation can be seen here. Many other videos from the conference
can be viewed also.
===============================================================
FATHERÕS
DAY DNA TEST SALE AT FAMILY TREE DNA
Family Tree DNA has
just announced a FatherÕs Day sale for the Family Finder autosomal DNA test and
the Big Y SNP test. Their
announcement states:
From 6/9/2014 to
6/17/2014, we will be offering:
Family Finder
- $79 (regular $99) – Available
to everyone, since this is an autosomal DNA test.
Big Y - $595
(regular $695) -- Only available to existing FTDNA customers, and only
available to males, since this is a Y-chromosome test.
Additionally, customers
that have already purchased a Big Y test will receive a coupon for $100 off another Big Y! This
coupon is valid through 6/17/2015 and can be used on any Big Y order. The best part is that if you combine it
with the Father's Day sale, customers can get Big Y for only $495!
If you are already a
FTDNA customer, order from your personal page. Otherwise, click here
for the order page.
Since I have taken the Big
Y and do not want to offer my $100 coupon to any close relative, I will donate
it to a male with proven Y-DNA Graves/Greaves ancestry who would like to take
the Big Y test and save an additional $100. If there are multiple people who contact me about this, I
will give it to the one I think can most help our study.
See discussion of this
offer by Debbie
Kennett and Roberta
Estes. Anyone who plans to
take the Big Y test should plan to join their
appropriate haplogroup project. A
list of those projects is here.
===============================================================
CHANGES
TO THE MASTER RESULTS TABLE FOR THE GRAVES/GREAVES DNA PROJECT
I have recently been
spending some time with the master results table on the Family Tree DNA website
for the Graves/Greaves project. The
main thing I have been doing is to add the number of the genealogy that each
Y-DNA tester is descended from. In
some cases I donÕt know that number, and I or someone else will have to find
what that is. This task is not yet
finished.
The project summary
page also lists all members of the group, including those who have not tested
for Y-DNA, but have taken an mtDNA test or an autosomal DNA test. It is my intention to add the
Graves/Greaves ancestries (occasionally more than one such ancestry) for those
people also. The main reason for
this is to more easily group results and to make it easier to find connections
between various parts of a family.
This will also make it easier to do things such as being sure that all
of the latest results are included in the pertinent chart.
There are many other
tasks that need to be done, such as splitting up a couple of groups that have
too much variation within them, communicating with new project members as they
join, etc. I plan to finally take
action on adding some additional project administrators to help me administer
the project so that we can provide everyone with better support and more timely
actions. If you
have volunteered to help in the past and donÕt hear from me very soon, or if
you have not yet volunteered but would like to, please contact me. Thanks.
===============================================================
MORE SUGGESTIONS FOR TRACING ANCESTRY IN THE U.K.
In the GF Bulletin
16-4 of April 22 was an article about ÒFinding Ancestry of People in the UK
From Current News Articles.Ó In
the section about William Greaves of Burnley, Lancashire, Gary Taylor responded
as follows. Although his comments
didnÕt provide the answer to my question about the ancestry of the individual
in question, the approach he used may be helpful to others.
ItÕs worth noting
that as well as FreeBMD, which covers the whole UK, there are also several
county pages, which may be more specific if you know where you are
looking. Personally I use Lancashire BMD a lot as
much of my family originates here, and it is often more up to date than Free
BMD.
Another really great
site for Lancashire (which is the historic county, so covers modern day
Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, as well as modern Lancashire) is Lancashire Online Parish Clerk. As with Free BMD, this is being
transcribed by volunteers and is constantly growing, but covers church records
for every parish in Lancashire.
Even better, they include surname indexes with hyperlinks, so if you
find a name of interest you can jump directly to their record and quite often
find the whole family. The level
of detail varies. Some parishes stop at 1837 when civil registration began, but
some carry on to modern day records, and some go back to the 1500s. It depends how lucky you are.
I had a look for the
people you mention below (in the article of April 22) on Online Parish
Clerk. Haslingden records stop in
the 1840s. Burnley has modern
records for some parishes, however. I noticed the Lancs BMD record for Edward
Greaves and Mary Parkinson says Register Office or Registrar attended, which
could mean they actually married in a register office, or they may have been
Catholic or Methodists and so needed a registrar to attend the marriage (as I
think officially you can only be married in a Church of England church without
a registrar – not sure of the rules but I know there are some). The records arenÕt always as good yet
for non Church of England churches and wonÕt be there at all for civil
marriages, so I couldnÕt find Edward and Mary Parkinson. Whilst it didnÕt help
in this case it does work sometimes though, so is another resource.
I did have some luck
finding John Greaves born in Lathom about 1896. On Online Parish Clerk in the
Parish of Burscough, which is local to Lathom (I have other family from that
area, which includes Boat families in Burscough!!) I was able to find:
Baptism: 19 May 1895,
St John the Baptist, Burscough, Lancs., John Greaves -
[Child] of Robert Greaves & Mary, Born: 8 Apr 1895, Abode: Burscough,
Occupation: Boatman
Notes: (Child privately
baptised by me JHE Bailey but no entry recorded) Received May 19, Baptised by:
J. Barnes Brearley, M.A., Vicar, Register: Baptism 1894 - 1919, Page 5, Entry
36, Source: Original Parish Register
I actually searched
in Google for John Greaves, Robert, Lathom, 1896, based on your article and
found this straight away.
However going to the baptisms surname index
for St John, Burscough, reveals at least 4 children being baptized to Robert
and Mary in this church:
Greaves, Ellen, 13
Dec 1896
John, 19 May 1895
Ralph, 12 Feb 1898
Richard, 10 Jun 1900
There isnÕt a
marriage there for Robert and Mary, but that could be in the larger local
church of Ormskirk or you also mention Manchester and Warrington, so it would
need more work. They also include
burial records, which have helped me eliminate people who died young in the
past too.
I have used this site
on many of my family lines and have traced back to the 1600s on several of my
Lancashire families. There are
transcription errors, as with any resource like this, but it then works like an
index, as you know exactly where to look if you can check the original
registers.
My Greaves line (Gen
407) originate in Bacup, and just looking under the ÒGÓ surname index in Bacup,
and the neighbouring larger churches of Newchurch in Rossendale and Rochdale,
show there are hundreds of Greaves going back to the 1600s. I canÕt link anyone before 1782 to my
line, but I keep trying.

MORE
ABOUT MAPS, INTERACTIVE, ANIMATED AND VIRAL
In the March 30 issue
of this bulletin was an article titled ÒGiven Names and Naming Patterns in the
U.S.Ó The first map in that
article showing the changing popularity of names in the U.S. over time is both
interactive. In the April 22 issue
of this bulletin was an article, ÒA Genetic Census of AmericaÓ, that included a
series of maps of the U.S. showing the ethnicities in all 50 states and the
changes over time. In the May 22
issue of the bulletin was an article about the ÒMaps of the Changing Boundaries
in the United States.Ó A similar
series of maps was on the website of Slate on May 13, titled ÒTagalog
in California, Cherokee in ArkansasÓ, that shows the second and third most
common spoken languages (after English) in each of the 50 U.S. states. This kind of information, in addition
to being of general interest, could be helpful in understanding migration
patterns. Although the information
for the maps in the Slate article was from American Community Survey of the U.S.
Census Bureau, other helpful information to create a series of maps can be
found for other countries. More of
SlateÕs maps are here.
Interactive maps are
what were in the April 22 bulletin article. These allow the user to select the data to be displayed on
the map from a list of choices.
Interactive maps can be displayed as animated maps if the creator
chooses to do so. The May 22
bulletin article was about animated maps.
These are like a slide show, automatically displaying a series of
maps. The March 30 article in this
bulletin discussed maps that were both interactive and animated. Viral maps, on the other hand, can be
almost any kind of map, but they are usually non-animated, non-interactive maps
that are simple and easy to use, and make a quick popular point. The reason they are viral is that they
catch on and spread like a virus throughout the Internet. The increase in viral mapping can be
attributed to good freeware GIS (Geographic Information Systems) programs, the
availability of shapefiles, and numerous websites that offer access to data and
mapping capability. For instance,
free shapefile maps can be downloaded here.
In a previous
article in Slate, Ben Blatt wrote about the fun and pitfalls of viral
maps. He pointed out that the maps
can often be misleading, and gave some examples of that, including the maps of
names in the U.S. discussed in the March 30 bulletin. He writes that the maps are often misleading, crucial
information can be left out, and patterns can emerge where there are none.

MILLS
AND HOME IN DELAWARE AND PENNSYLVANIA ONCE OWNED BY THE QUAKER FAMILY OF
GENEALOGY 85
Thomas Graves of New
Castle Co., DE, born about 1650, is thought to have arrived in America about
1680. He was probably one of the
Irish Quakers who settled near Philadelphia, and is said to have been friends
with William Penn and Lord Baltimore.
His part of the family seems to have spelled the surname in various
ways, and the ancestral line may go back to the 1300s, when the surname was
MacGregor. For more information,
see the introduction and first generation of genealogy 85.
The
following information was sent by Gerald M. Graves of Iowa, a descendant of
this family.
Graves Mill Historic District in Delaware
Northern New Castle County Delaware is
home to the Graves Mill Historic District, a National Historic Place since
1978. It encompasses 7
contributing buildings and 2 contributing structures that are associated with
Graves Mill. They include the
Samuel Graves Mill, the Hayes Graves house and barn, the David Graves house and barn, and two houses associated with
William Armstrong. This is an
historic district of Yorklyn, DE.
Several structures are somewhat visible from the roadway.
None are open to the public and modifications have been made. The land most
likely originally belonged to Thomas Graves, the first of the Delaware Quaker
Graves branch, genealogy # 85. There are no signs indicating that the district
is there.
The historic district application states:
ÒThe Graves Mill Historic District is significant for its associations with the
development of industry in the Red Clay Creek Valley and northern Delaware, and
the view it offers of the development of a small-site industrial community. The
Graves Mill Historic District reflects the earliest type of family-run
industrial operation to move into the Red Clay Creek Valley and illustrates the
typical late-eighteenth-century building practice and design in northern New
Castle County, Delaware.Ó
Red Clay Creek is a decent sized river
and had as many as 13 mills at one time. The Graves Mill was 0.3 miles east of
Red Clay Creek is on a small tributary creek, Burris Run. The mill was a
sawmill and indications are the DuPonts made at least one large purchase.
At the end of 1772, John Graves bequeaths
to his son Samuel the land that John inherited from his father Samuel. There is
no mention of a mill at that time. An agreement was made (day not legible) the
second month (February) 1793 between Jonathan and Samuel Greave of Christiania
Hundred. It states that their land lies contiguous and a dam is erected on the
land of Jonathan Greave on the stream Burroughs Run. The dam has been in use
for a considerable time for a saw mill and for watering the meadow of Samuel
Greave being taken by a race or artificial water course from the dam.
The agreement allows use of the water and
access for repairs by the parties and successors to the land for 999 years
(nine hundred ninety nine). Payment of yearly rent of one
grain of Indian corn to be made, if demanded. This was one of the
earliest mills in the area and continued in operation until about 1908.
The historic
district is bisected by Graves Mill Road; which
has been renamed Way Road. While this is only a couple miles south of the Pennsylvania
state line, the approximate street address is 808 Way Rd., Willington,
Delaware. The mill race is plainly visible on the north side of Way Rd
immediately east of the foundation remains of a walk out ÒbankÓ barn. The race
was 5 feet deep, 15 feet wide, and 450 yards long to a dam north on Burris Run.
Today it looks like an abandoned farm lane. East of the dam location is
the David Graves house and historic barn well off the road. The next farm east
is Cloverdale Farm Preserve.
The Graves Mill is located on the south
side of Way Rd across from the bank barn. It has been remodeled into a private
home and only the upper portion is visible from the road. More may be visible
from near the Run or from one of the new subdivision roads on the south depending
leaf cover.
The original Samuel Graves house is gone,
but just southwest of the mill on Way Rd is a house built by Hayes Graves in
the mid 1800s when he owned the mill. It also is a private home with only the
upper portion visible from the road.
The NPS historic district application
is very descriptive of the buildings and their construction. The Delaware State Historic
Preservation Office supposedly has photos from 1978 before much of the
remodeling in their on-line database, although I was not able to locate the
photos.
Longwood Gardens:
The home of Samuel GravesÕ first cousin,
Hannah Graves, is about 7 miles away. The Peirce-duPont House is in close
to original condition, easy to find, and open to the public with nearly a
75,000 visitors a year and 900,000 visits to the grounds and greenhouses.
Longwood Gardens is one of the biggest and best attractions in southeast
Pennsylvania and easy to find with itÕs own exit on highway 1 (Baltimore Pike).
The land was purchased by Joshua Peirce in 1704. He
died a few years before the marriage of his son Caleb to Hannah Graves in 1755,
when she would have moved into the house. They added an addition in 1764,
which is noted by a date block high on the west wall gable with the initials
CHP 1764 (Caleb & Hannah Peirce 1764). The original block is displayed
inside. The Peirce south wing is kept original with historical displays
throughout when last visited. Among the displays are a baby outfit
(dress) made by Hannah Graves and a beaded purse made by her. A hand wool
carding tool found in the attic is attributed as hers. Later HannahÕs decedents
and Pierre du Pont added wings and a greenhouse, but
HannahÕs house is quite intact. The Christmas ornament for sale is a good
representation of her house.
ÒIn 1798, HannahÕs twin sons, Samuel and
Joshua, actively pursued an interest in natural history and began planting an
arboretum that eventually covered 15 acres. The collection included specimens
from up and down the Eastern seaboard and overseas. By 1850, the arboretum
boasted one of the finest collections of trees in the nation and had become a
place for the locals to gather outdoors – a new concept that was sweeping
America at the time.Ó In 1906 the Pierre du Pont purchased the property to
preserve the Arboretum and expanded it to one of the best and largest in the
world. See more about the history
of Longwood Gardens here.

PROBLEMS
WITH RECEIVING THIS AND OTHER ONLINE NEWSLETTERS
The problem of not
receiving online newsletter, including this one, was discussed in the April 22
issue of this bulletin. The same
general problem was then discussed on the list of the Guild of One-Name Studies
(GOONS), and the following comments are an edited version of that. This isnÕt exactly the same as the
problem some subscribers have had with receiving the GF Bulletin, but it may be
of interest, since it is caused by overzealous attempts to reduce the amount of
spam we all receive, and many people do subscribe to mailing lists which have
most of the problem described below.
THE PROBLEM
This message is not
about a security threat in the normal sense of malware, viruses, scams etc.
This threat is more insidious because it is caused by well-meaning ISPs
(possibly including yours) who are trying to curb the delivery of spam to their
customers. Unfortunately, however well-intentioned these ISPs are, the current
developments are creating mayhem throughout the world as they are upsetting the
delivery of messages sent via Mailing Lists such as those of the Guild. You may
well belong to many other such lists.
What is currently causing
problems is the implementation by some ISPs, in particular Yahoo and AOL, of a
strict policy that means that your own ISP may be consigning your wanted
mailing list messages to your spam folder or quarantine.
The e-mail policy is
called DMARC and appears to be a development of the equally flawed SPF (Sender
Policy Framework) which has already caused significant
problems for the Guild in the last couple of years.
HOW DOES DMARC/SPF WORK?
When your ISP receives
e-mail and has decided to take account of DMARC/SPF, it will look at the Domain
Name record of the ISP that appears to be hosting the sender. That record will
say from what places that ISP feels are genuine sources for its e-mails. This
is designed to catch scammers who spoof the From Address on e-mails, as is
common with spam. If the source of the e-mail doesnÕt match what the records
provided by the originating ISP state, the message will be sent to the spam
folder or even deleted.
All well and good, but
when you post to a Mailing List, your ISP detects the message as having come
from the Mailing List and not the actual originating source. So depending on
your ISP, you may well not be receiving all your Forum mail, in particular from
senders who are on AOL or Yahoo.
For myself, I receive
all my mailing list messages via Gmail and now find that any Forum messages
from AOL or Yahoo addresses end up in the quarantine (which I can only inspect
online). Such messages are prefixed with the warning: ÒBe careful with this
message. Our systems couldn't verify that this message was really sent by
aol.com. You might want to avoid clicking links or replying with personal
information.Ó
There are many prolific
contributors to the Guild Forum and SOG mailing lists that I can now only see
by looking at my spam folder (but see later).
A new development has
occurred in the last few days. Stung by the criticism from users, Yahoo have
modified the behaviour of their own Yahoo Groups mailing lists such that all
messages now show the sender as the Mailing List itself, so that DMARC does not
trap it. (The real sender can still be found in the header and may be visible
on your inbox list). This is fine for Yahoo lists, but doesnÕt help us with
Rootsweb lists.
WHAT CAN I DO AS AN INDIVIDUAL
USER?
(NOTE: These suggestions
are for members of GOONS, and will not necessarily help those who donÕt
reliably receive the GF Bulletin.) As a sender of e-mail: donÕt use AOL or
Yahoo accounts. Even better, leave AOL completely. If you own the domain from
which you send mail, do set up an SPF record that kills DMARC/SPF (I can advise
on the content of such records, though not all hosting companies allow their
customers to alter the Domain Name Records).
As a receiver of
e-mail: I have found that with Gmail and Virginmedia (whose e-mail is provided
by a form of Gmail) you can set up a filter on incoming messages so that if the
word [G] is found, then such mail is never sent to Spam. I am still
experimenting to check that this solves the problem. All mailing lists tend to
use such prefixes in the subject line. Another option is to switch to receive
Forum mail in Digest Mode, as this gets sent with a list address.
===============================================================
WEBSITE
FOR OLD LETTERS THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND
Margaret Ryther
recently found a neat website called Spared & Shared 4 on
WordPress.com. On the GFA Facebook
page she wrote: "Someone carefully transcribes
"found" old letters so the content can be shared. There are at least two which contain references to people with the Graves surname. One is
an 1844 letter of Benjamin Franklin Finley who married Susan Graves. They lived
in Newton, Scott County, Kentucky. Another is written by John Graves who
married Sarah Parham and lived in Davidson County, Tennessee. (That John Graves is part of genealogy
270.)
There are digital
photos of the actual letters and, some photos and historical context. The
author of this blog is giving a wonderful gift of time and effort so these
letters will not be lost. I assume more will continue to be added."
