Research Notes
- MRCA: Unknown Kingman, b. in Somerset, England, most likely.
- Y-chromosome DNA test matching confirms that Gerald Kingman (FTDNA kit #214925, YSearch ID YUH8Z, and mitoYDNA Kit T10826) and John Kingman (FTDNA kit #N145956, YSearch ID KFTAS, and mitoYDNA Kit T10429) most likely share a direct patrilineal ancestor in a genealogical time frame. Their results match on 33 out of 37 markers. Family Tree DNA estimates the probability that Gerald and John share a common ancestor within the last 16 generations is 78%, and within the last 20 generations is 91%. No MRCA has yet been determined as John's Earliest Known Patrilineal Ancestor is Henry Kingman (1594-1667) who emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1634/5 and is said to be of Frome, Somerset, and Gerald's Earliest Known Patrilineal Ancestor is George Kingman (1701-1748) of Farrington Gurney, Somerset, and probably extends to John Kingman born c1640 in Frome, Somerset.
- Derrick Watson has contributed a diagram showing how our matches lead to our English patrilineal ancestors in Somerset, England, here.
- MRCA: Lucy (Hathaway) Van Orsdall (1782-1863)
- John Kingman and Pamela Kinder are 4th cousins once removed and share 13.8 cM of auDNA. (GEDMatch)
- John Kingman and Sean (Smith) McGowan are 4th cousins.
- Sean and Pamela are 3rd cousins once removed. (Sean tested on 23AndMe)
- John Kingman and Bruce Byers are 4th cousins and share 58 cM across 2 segments. Unweighted shared DNA: 66 cM, Longest segment: 56 cM. (Ancestry) Bruce is descended from Forrest Waldo Byers (1899-1991), my 2c2r.

Thanks for your contributions to Puritan Great Migration (PGM) project profiles.
Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members periodically to find out about their continued interest in the project. Would you please respond by February 5, 2024, to let us know about your interest:
Please respond to this comment on your profile, or if you'd like, send a private message to either Bobbie (Madison) Hall or S (Hill) Willson.
Thanks for all you do for PGM and WikiTree!
Regards,
Bobbie and Sharon, Co-Leaders, Puritan Great Migration Project
I've got my hands pretty full with the DNA Project, but I am happy to help with any DNA related issues you may encounter related to the PGM Project. So I guess I'm a relatively passive member of the PGM project at this point.
Cheers,
John
Thanks for all your contributions to WT, and to PGM when applicable.
I'm going to send the first message in a long time to our main DNA group asking for an educator to volunteer to look at the G2G posts on John Fleming (1697–1756) and perhaps lend a hand to Kevin.
Take care, - Karen
It looks like Eowyn is seeking a leader for the DNA Educators, according to that page. It also seems that the Educators Team is leaderless.
As far as I can tell, the only people working on DNA confirmation are myself and Kay (Johnson) Wilson. We occasionally exchange emails about problematic profiles.
Are you responsible for the overall DNA project now? I didn't see your name on the DNA Project page. Do you have a communication process that includes the sub-teams?
I think It would be great if there were better coordination between the Innovators and the Educators. I feel like the DNA Project could use more some help from the main profile editing software in preventing simple things like setting "confirmed with DNA" on a profile before there is any genealogy or DNA source, for example.
Anyway, regarding the profile for John Fleming, I saw a recent G2G about that and it seems that Kevin wants help with X-DNA matches. I think Peter Roberts could be the one to help him, but he's not an "Educator". Maybe Edison Williams will chime in on G2G, I know he has made other posts on the subject.
Best regards,
John

The most common problems I've seen are either that the relationships of the members of a Triangulation Group are not all listed, or that you have neglected to include the MRCA of a match which includes an anonymous tester.
The DNA Confirmation Citation Maker can help you avoid these problems.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Thanks for the information about how to confirm DNA on my tree. I have now deleted them all and am using the app mentioned to gradually add the confirmation on the child pages. So easy with the app. Wyatt-6676
Thanks for contributing to Puritan Great Migration profiles over the last six months. Every little bit helps, so please keep those edits coming!
Like all WikiTree projects we check in with team members twice per year and it's that time again. Please respond within the next two weeks to let me know:
If you'd like to tell me about a particular project or family you're working on, I'd love to hear about that as well.
Please respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks!
Brad Stauf, PGM membership coordinator
I've been pretty busy with the DNA project, so haven't been much help on the PGM project. I am happy to help if there are questions related to DNA confirmation.
John
1. I am obviously new to this and did not, do not, completely understand what benefit, if any, testing DNA offers.
I suggest you take a look at the DNA overview and How to get started with DNA.
2. Is there a benefit, more information garnered if I recognize my second cousin who has tested, say a Y (male) DNA test for a surname, ie Rucker. If I recognize him and use his Y test (somehow) to compare to mine...obviously I can't do a Y test, what would I garner in information and how would I go about doing that? HIs test is at ancestry and mine was an ancestry DNA test which I have posted to wikitree.
Your 2nd cousin's Y DNA test will help him confirm his Paternal lineage, but you cannot compare your test to his unless he also has autosomal DNA test results. If he has, and you match sufficiently, Ancestry probably shows that you match and you could look into DNA confirming your ancestry back to your great grandparents.
Thanks again!
The United Kingdom Project has not been active since 2018 and we are now completely closing it down. We are removing all UK project badges. If you still have an interest in the UK and have not already joined another project, then you will need to join the England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales Project by answering one or more of their G2G posts. If your interest is in the British Isles and British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, then please contact me directly.
Regards Joan
WikiTree doesn't save your DNA test results. Where exactly in WikiTree do you get the pop up about your test being outdated?

Folks who are working on trails for someone not documented by Richardson usually join the project as an Affiliate (no participation requirement to work on a Richardson-documented trail). To do so is easy. Just copy/paste this coding to your profile:
That is interesting. Thanks for taking time out to help me.
We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.
Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please dont assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
Many thanks,
Susie
