I did not see DNA evidence from the line of Thomas Lodowyc Lewis of early New York.  I am disappointed.

Some researchers believe my Henry Lewis line migrated south to Virginia from Haverford, Delaware County, Pennsylvania with a group of Quakers.  The immigrant was named Henry Lewis, born about 1640, in Narberth, Pembrokshire, Wales.  This may be my line, but it also may not be correct.  There is a possibility my Henry came from a different line.  This is with documents.  Based on my research of other families related to Henry Lewis and the next couple of generations of his descendant, I do not see them as Quakers, but  Henry may have left that faith.  I was hoping DNA evidence would help sort out the men named Henry Lewis in 1700's Virginia.  I was hoping for a name in the chart that I was sure was in my line.  I did not find this.  I already know it is very likely my line came from Wales, no matter which Henry is the correct one.  In fact the two men named Henry might be related farther back.  I have been researching these Lewis as thoroughly as possible, and there is a problem.

I wanted to make everyone aware there is a Lewis DNA Chart, in hopes more men would do a DNA test.

Maybe there is something I wanted to point out about the DNA chart.  There were too many men named John, Thomas and William Lewis!  Even with documents errors are likely to arise in research.  I am not sure about my research after a certain point, even with documentation, because of the common names, and the dates of individuals are often close..  The DNA chart wants info on the  farthest back male Lewis research, which makes possible research errors.  I would rather see the DNA of Lewis men in my line that are not so far back.  The DNA Chart cannot lie concerning which lines are the most similar.  The research may not be correct on  these lines.

It looks like one of my Lewis is from Wales as my research shows.  I'm not sure Thomas Lodowyc Lewis from early New York has descendants represented in the test.

Is there something you wanted to point out on the Lewis DNA chart, Rosemary?

Is there anyone out there who has a distant relative by the name of Polly Lewis?  If so, please contact me.  Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

I have a public tree at Ancestry.com where my Lewis research can be seen.
