I'm interested in the DNA project mentioned in your posting.I'm trying to get information on my great-grandfather (John Robert Grimes) and his ancestry.I understand he was born on June 13, 1851 near Little Rock, Arkansas.He married Ellen Virginia Baker on June 23, 1872 in Greenville, Greene County, Tennessee.They had three children before moving in about 1877 to Tarrant County, Texas, where my grandmother, Clara Catherine Grimes was born on August 8, 1889.
I've had little luck identifying the parents and other ancestors of John Robert Grimes, but think his family is likely related to Grimes in both Arkansas and Tennessee.
I checked out the DNA page, but was not sure which specific test I should order.
Any info you can provide on my great-grandfather and his family, or how this DNA test may prove useful in continuing my research into this branch of my family will be most gratefully received.
Thanks for your consideration,
John Robert Priddy
