Jarrell DNA.
The following information for Forensic Historians, Genealogists, and Ancestry Research buffs was extracted directly from the Ancestry Projects Page on GEDmatch.com. Kristi Lami is a confirmed DNA member of the group. Kristi Lami is the host of “Are You Related to Morgan Plantagenet?” located in the same free section of their Global Intelligence based Ancestry Platform. Please contact them directly for information about joining. We can only answer questions about our own group. The hosts of their program will have to assist you with any ancestral verifications of your own DNA. If you do match their terms for inclusion, we recommend that you add your own GED kit match number for inclusion in the Ancestry Preservation Project helping to solve cold cases in health and for the medical welfare of all.
“The Jarrell DNA and Genealogy Group is open to everyone with Jarrell/Jarrells/Jerrell (or other reasonable variations) ancestry. The comprehensive parent project, the Jarrell DNA Project, was founded as a private study in 2019 and includes members from various DNA platforms, including GEDmatch, which is useful in utilizing autosomal DNA. The companion FamilyTreeDNA Jarrell Study allows us to apply Y-DNA and mtDNA to our research. Many members are part of the optional Jarrell Descendants Facebook page, which is a great place to collaborate. Jarrells were in Virginia by 1650 and spread south into North Carolina during the colonial era. From there, various branches went to the deep south, Kentucky and West Virginia. However, weak paper trails have left many descendants guessing as to how we might all be related, and how some ancestors fit into specific lines. Working together increases our chances of answering these questions. Members are encouraged to ask questions and help each other with brick-wall puzzles. A newsletter is published twice a year via email to keep everyone informed on research progress, emerging questions, new observations, and the needs of the group.”
