Biography

Matthew Simonds (Simonds-467) and Anonymous Simonds (Simonds-484) match on 104 out of 111 markers (see YSearch IDs ETHR7 and HD9WZ) confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA William Simonds (1611-1672) of Woburn, MA (Simonds-135) and confirming that William Simonds belonged to haplogroup I-S7660, a subclade of I-P109 (I1a1b1, formerly I1d1). I have also done the Big Y at Family Tree DNA (kit 310372). See kits 310372 and 75542 in the Simmons Y-Chromosome DNA Surname Project and the I-P109 Y-DNA Haplogroup Project at Family Tree DNA for STR results. For an analysis of SNP results by YFull from the Big Y for kit 310372, see id: YF01701 on the I-P109 section of the Experimental Y-Tree at YFull.

Sources

Confirmed with DNA by both Y-DNA Short Tandem Repeat (STR) match and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) match at FamilyTreeDNA. Predicted test participant relationship according to further analysis at YFull is that Matthew Simonds (FTDNA kit 310372, YFull id YF01701), Brian Symonds (FTDNA kit 218702 and YFull id YF01668) and Anonymous Simons (FTDNA kit 330318 and YFull id YF01897) share a common patrilinial ancestor who lived between 1000 and 275 years ago (TMRCA confidence interval 95% 1000<->275 ybp). Brian Symonds and Matthew Simonds have a genetic distance of 3 with a match of 108/111 STR markers. Anonymous Simons and Matthew Simonds have a genetic distance of 5 with a match of 106/111 STR markers. Brian Symonds and Anonymous Simons have a genetic distance of 6 with a match of 105/111 STR markers. Based on Big Y SNP testing at FamilyTreeDNA, all three belong to haplogroup I-Y4044 which is defined by the SNP called Y4044 (ChrY position 7215409, A->G) as well as nine other SNPs. Our positions on the I-P109 section of the Y-Tree can be seen here. See the WikiTree page on Simonds yDNA for further analysis.

Anonymous Simonds and Matthew Simonds match on 104 out of 111 Y-DNA markers (a match of 93.69%) at Family Tree DNA (kits 310372 & 75542) confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA William Simonds (1611-1672) of Woburn, Massachusetts. Anonymous Simonds and Matthew Simonds are 9th cousins 1x removed.

Hello Matthew,

I am at a brick wall with my Thomas E. Symonds born abt 1806 line. I am wondering if you have done any research on the Marblehead Thomas E. Symonds who married Elisabeth Harding in 1831? She would have passed away not long after they were married. I had him married to an Elizabeth Harris from NC previously. Any information you may have would be much appreciated. I have been trying to crack this since 2012.

Matthew,

I am on Wikitree and you and I have emailed several times and agree we are both descended from William Simonds (1611-1672). I have a 23AndMe DNA report on myself that may be of interest. I am still a novice but would like to help and understand more, and connect with others sharing our ancestor. (Symonds-361)

Hi

Wish you a Happy New Year. May 2018 bring you all you need to be happy.

Congratulation for adding your contributions in December. Whatever the quantity of your contributions, they all count. As I always say "Quality is better than quantity" to make a great family tree.

Thank you for being a Wikitreer,

Hi!

Congratulations, you've been a WikiTree member for a month! We're glad you're here. A few tips to help you dive in even deeper:

Check out Beyond the Basics of WikiTree for a guide on some of our more advanced features such as Projects, Categories, and Merging.

We're very active on our social sites and we have an excellent blog where you'll find our monthly newsletter as well as tips, interviews with our members and guest posts from others in the genealogy community.

As always, I'm here to help if you have any questions!

Welcome to the DNA Project: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:DNA

Please make sure each bit of DNA test information is added to the actual test participant's profile, not someone else's like your own. To make cousin connections, WikiTree needs to see the FamilyTree tab. Check that your Privacy on your profile is set to "Private with Public Family Tree" as a minimum. (Living minors should have an Unlisted privacy level.)

Please set your preferences for your Tags Followed to include DNA and other terms on the (G2G) feed: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Following

As you add your family lines and connect to the big WikiTree, you may find new cousins. Use the Relationship calculator to see if you are related to me, Cooper-1 with http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Relationship

Hi,

Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, here are a few more features you may find useful Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including tips on writing biographies.

If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.

Lastly, sometimes you will run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.

Hi Matthew, welcome to the One Name Studies project and thank you for creating the Simonds Name Study. For instructions on how to get started and suggestions for getting the most out of your study, see: One Name Study

For more information, contact Doug or Alison with any questions.

Hello again, Matthew. One more thing: Have you considered uploading your autosomal DNA data to Gedmatch? Since you and I are 9th cousins, it's highly unlikely that we have any match, but since I have a triangulated auDNA match connecting to my 3G grandparents Asa Simonds and Sophia Lyon, I'm intrigued by the possibility of extending the ancestry farther back on the Simonds line.

I've been watching the expansion of your impressive discussion of yDNA on the profile for our common ancestor William Simonds. Since a growing portion of the info there is not specific to William, but is relevant to several different lines, it occurs to me that it's time to create a free-space page for Simonds DNA -- and maybe a one-name study project to go with it. These pages would provide a central place to document DNA for all Simonds lines. The pages Space:SmithConnection.com_DNA_Project and Space:Smith_Name_Study and the category are an example of a name study with DNA info (for a name that has far more traffic than Simonds) provides another example. Does this interest you?

Hi!

How are you? I'm Shirley, a WikiTree Mentor. Hope you're enjoying our site.

How To Use WikiTree is a good starting point, and the Help Index is an important place to find out how to do most tasks.

If you have pre-1700's ancestors to add please read our Pre-1700 profiles info. Do you have Royal Ancestors? Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.

And I'm here to help too, just ask!
