Hello Terry,

Yes I would love to get the Valentine information. Im not sure on the Huddleston DNA study but I did do mine through it. Sorry for the super late response. I havent been on Wikitree in a long time. You can send the info to [email address removed] I will also be posting it to the website https://huddlestonfamilyhist.wixsite.com/hfhrc

Hi Alan,

I have an interest in the Huddleston Family as all my Y-DNA testing shows me closely related to many Huddlestons who seem never to have been in any reasonable geographic proximity to my Linthicums in Early American and Colonial History. I have quite a bit of information compiled on a Valentine Huddleston which I would be happy to send to you if you want to take the time to format it to fit on this Wiki Tree which drives me crazy trying to work with it.

What do you know about the Huddleston DNA study; did it go belly Up?

Look forward to hearing from you.
