A Genetic Genealogy Study of the Early Founders of Colonial MD and their Contemporary Descendants (AAGS Meetings)
On February 6, join us at Anne Arundel Community College, Cade Building, Room 207, to hear about a project that combines DNA and Anne Arundel County genealogy. Tom Watkins, an attorney from Texas, and Paul Watkins, a geneticist from California, are fifth cousins who met through genealogy research and discovered a common interest in their Watkins ancestors from Anne Arundel County. They started a genetic genealogy project to identify the descendants of the original founders of the county and to compare their DNA to see if any traits could be discovered. In addition to Watkins, other names in their study include Dorsey, Worthington, Howard, Ridgely, Griffith, and Benson
