Family Contact information for the HAM Surname DNA Project Participants

This web page is posted for anyone who has a HAM ancestor born prior to 1800 and is participating in the HAM Surname DNA Project. (I prefer the 1850 cut off date to cut down on repetition and to conserve space.) Other HAM Contacts who are not participating in the DNA Project can be found under the HAM Country Contacts area.

To add your contact information to this page, please email me at: odoniv@earthlink.net along with the following information:

1) Include "HAM DNA Project" in the subject of your email. I get a lot of email, so I need to understand the request.
2) Have primary source documentation to the name submitted (bible records, wills, administrative records, deeds, marriage, DNA evidence, etc.)
3) Be willing to share that information with others for the name that you submitted.
4) Provide your name, email, and URL if you have a website.
5) Provide the name, dates, and location of the ancestor that you would like to have posted here.

dfh - I took some liberties to list the ancestors here, because Arnold is in the process of moving and has not un-packed his records. The early records are as I understand them based upon Surry County records listed in "A Short History of the HAM Surname in VA & NC," then continues with the research as I understand it from Tania S. Ham and, of course, her book "William Ham(m), Senior and Some of His Descendants."   Arnold will correct this at a later date.
