This is my 10th Great Grandmother Mary B. Dyer, wife of William Dyer. They arrived in Massachusetts in 1635, probably on the second trip to the New World. She was an avid follower of the Quaker religion and banned from the Colony. She was one of the 4 Boston martyrs who died trying to have the laws against the Quaker religion repealed. Tho she was to hang in 1659 she was given a reprieve, only to be caught again upon returning to Massachusetts. She was hung in 1660.



My uncle Bill, William J. Dyer, who was a toggleier with the 385th BG during the early years of WWII; was named after Mary Dyer's husband William.

Bill, where do you go to find the DNA matches?

Mine is on Ancestry, they list all probable/possible matches of people that have been tested at Ancestry up to about the 5th to 8th cousins. As you can see I have 336 4th cousins or closer, but there are thousands of 5th to 8th cousins on my list. Sometimes I will just pick a 8th cousin out of the list and contact them to see what their family story is. About 85 % of the connection is from one family that came to America from England in 1634, the Winchell family.

I have also found and talked to some of my relatives living in Belgium and the Netherlands. I have not checked with any of German relatives, that's my brother's job.

Default It has uses
I used Ancestry DNA to help two adopted friends find their birth parents. One was a piece of cake and took about 2 weeks.

The other took years....
