Special Message for
Families of England
"MILAM" includes the surnames:
Milam, Mylam, Millam, Mileham, Milum, etc.
1. MILAMs in America
today can only trace their ancestry back to the mid-1700s in the
English Colony of Virginia. We know our Milam ancestors were English,
but we do not know WHEN or HOW our earliest immigrant ancestor
arrived in America, nor from WHERE in England he originated.
For several decades this
brick-wall has been insurmountable. Much traditional genealogy research has been
conducted on both sides of the Atlantic, but it has repeatedly failed to
find the connection. Currently, we are trying a new approach.....
DNA testing of Milam families found in America and England.
If a DNA "match" can be
found when comparing the test results of an American Milam and an English Milam,
then we will have discovered the lineage of the ancestral connection between
American and English Milams!
The value of such a discovery cannot be over-estimated!! Such a
discovery would possibly be the single most important ever made in Milam genealogy!
By tracing the English Milam's family
tree back to his ancestor who went to the New World, we will open a door in
Milam genealogy to a whole new world of our own. We will have
discovered the immigrant ancestor who fathered 1000s of Milams in America.
Think about that!
The key to success in this new
effort is finding and testing male English Milams, Mylams, Milehams,
Milums, etc.. The testing part
is EASY, and it's FREE! The difficult part is locating English Milams to test.
This is where you come in,
Cousin: .......help find testers! .....RECRUIT YOUR FAMILY
MEMBERS OR MILAMs IN YOUR COMMUNITY/REGION.
We
need you, or your brother, or your father, or your grandfather, or your Milam uncle,
to
participate in this vitally important effort. Your participation could be the breakthrough
we need. The breakthrough which will tremendously expand the universe of knowledge
regarding the genealogy and family history of the world-wide Milam Family.
Your family will be eternally grateful!
The scientific methods
used in Y-DNA
testing for genealogy purposes requires that ONLY MALES WITH THE SURNAME
MILAM be tested. (Remember: "MILAM" includes the surnames:
Milam, Mylam, Millam, Mileham, Milum, etc.)
2. If you cannot participate in DNA testing, please help
spread the word about this project. Tell your Milam relatives, and post
on genealogy websites, etc., etc. Help locate the Milams needed for
testing.
Thanks!
