Smithey DNA Project
DNA from my stepson, Jason Smithey, just got a strong match with a sample provided by Scott Smithey. Jason's line can be traced back to the Person/Caswell County, NC area in the early part of the 19th century. Scott's ancestry can be traced back to VA in the 18th century. The match between them is strong enough to suggest that they share a common male ancestor in VA or just earlier than that on the other side of the Atlantic.
Another Smithey, who can trace his line back to Wilkes County, NC about 200 years ago, will have DNA test results back by the end of December. We hope the results of this test will be a close enough match to allow this line to be linked to the lines of Jason and Scott.
If you know a male Smithey who is willing to be tested for this project, or would just like more information about DNA testing; please contact me.
