Biography

Searching to recover Maiden names and other information on Grandmothers'.

Both my Pholkes arrived in California during the Great Depression. They each came from working class families: Farmers and Miners. I greatly appreciate dirt and rocks. No fancy people behind me, just hard working, get the job done self employed Farmers, and Miners in the worst conditions: coal, zinc, lead and a little salt. Many deaths due to life as a miner. There were a few determined adventurists in a 1620 Expedition out of London, headed for the Colony of Virginia: Their last port of call in England being Newlyn, where they purchased fresh water for the trans-Atlantic voyage. Due to a near one month delay in their launch, instead of landing in Virginia, they hit bad weather and were forced to land several hundred miles North of their planned destination. I am a direct descendant of Priscilla Mullins and John Alden. Other trail blazers were Anna Margaretha Albrecht and husband Abraham Tegarden; who bravely departed Solingen Germany, arriving at Maryland in 1736 and the youngest Venturer's arrived in 1745 at Philadelphia, they were the Turrentine Clan out of Ireland; my line is from the brother Samuel.

DNA

Her maternal line’s mitochondrial DNA haplogroup is T2b. Mitochondrial clade T derives from the haplogroup JT, which also gave rise to the mtDNA haplogroup J. The T maternal clade is thought to have emanated from the Near East (Bermisheva 2002). ^[1]
