<\/a><\/p>\nI should note that Isaiah was married to a Bradford, so they should also factor in. I chose chd as the person of interest to cluster on and the range of clusters between 20 and 150 cM. This resulted in three clusters.<\/p>\n
Here is the first cluster:<\/p>\n
I already have a large Snell DNA Tree. Here is part of it:<\/p>\n The person I chose to cluster on is Chuck in the DNA tree above.<\/p>\n Cluster one is quite tight. We can see many of the people from that cluster in my tree. Trey is not on my DNA tree as he has no tree of his own identified. Shared matches shows that Jessica is his first cousin or half niece. I remember Florence from childhood and another child Janice not shown in the chart above. Florence and Janice attended the same church as me. Here is a photo of Florence from Ancestry:<\/p>\n Now that I am looking at Jessica, I see that I have the tree wrong. Here is the right relationship:<\/p>\n Jessica is Janice’s granddaughter. Here is the fix:<\/p>\n We see the original Snell\/Denault cluster from Trey to bessey.<\/p>\n Here is Y.R.:<\/p>\n YR is not on my tree. I will try to add her by evaluating the tree as Ancestry suggests. Here is part of a document that tells about Helen’s mother who died young:<\/p>\n Here is the couple in 1930 just before Helen is born:<\/p>\n Mildred did not marry until she was 31.<\/p>\n Here is the Washington Death Index:<\/p>\n Here is Mildred in 1900 on Perry Hill Road in Acushnet:<\/p>\n The person listed before this as the head of family was Jerome B. Tripp.<\/p>\n Jerome’s wife Marcia must be the Marcia Snell we are looking for. This seems to be checking out easily.<\/p>\n Here is Nancy’s birth record:<\/p>\n My tree agrees with Ancestry that YR is a third cousin once removed to Joyce.<\/p>\n In Cluster 2, there is also a small group of two in the bottom right. Andrew has an interesting Snell connection 7 generations out:<\/p>\n I don’t see Susannah on my Snell web page. That means that if this is the connection, it would be quite ancient.<\/p>\n These are the clusters I see within the cluster. I’ve already looked at the YR cluster. I looked at the Trey cluster, but now it is larger. I’ll look at Wendy in the second box. She has this tree:<\/p>\n I’ll add Wendy to my Ancestry tree to see if she connects anywhere. I found a tree that has John Snell of Westport, MA as the father of Xenophon:<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Roy’s father Guy passed away when Roy was young. I will just take the Ancestry suggestion of Guy for Roy’s father. Here is Guy in 1880:<\/p>\n Here is Xenophon’s marriage record showing his father as John Snell:<\/p>\n Here is what I have so far:<\/p>\n I have:<\/p>\n It would be helpful to figure out more about where Xenophon was born. The tree I borrowed from above, has Xenophon born in Homer, Courtland County.<\/p>\n I am tempted to go with Randy’s Tree suggested at Ancestry:<\/p>\n He has John living in Forest, Wisconsin in 1860:<\/p>\n That is the same town that Xenophon is living in at that time:<\/p>\n Here is Forest:<\/p>\n John and the Squire Snell family are on the previous page of the 1860 Census:<\/p>\n Notice that Squire is also listed on the above genealogy. I have already connected Xenophon to my tree:<\/p>\n I just need to link all the other children to Phoebe Head. I fixed this by merging Phebee Snell with Phebe Head:<\/p>\n Here is my existing tree:<\/p>\n Phebe at the red arrow must be the sister of the John Snell who moved to New York and then to Wisconsin.\u00a0 This shows the likely relationship between Joyce and Wendy:<\/p>\n It appears that there are two Heads in Wendy’s Line, so there may be more DNA represented on the Head line than the Snell Line. Here is what Joyce has on her ThruLines in this area:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n2nd Snell Cluster<\/h3>\n
