According to Kat Rayl, a decedent of Hezekiah Nichols (son of Henry Nichols), a Waylon Nichols, also descended from Hezekiah, has submitted a 67 marker Y-DNA test to family tree DNA. The Nichols Results are at http://www.brian-hamman.com/ResultsForNicholsSurnameProject.htm
Greg and I have our results in and we are kit#40533 and Kit#112863. It should take about 6-8 weeks for Waylon’s results to post. Greg and I have also upgraded our 37 makers results to 67 and it takes about a
month for that to show up.
I am calling for all Nichols Researchers with ties to the North Carolina, Virginia, Sumter Co South Carolina and Maryland area to participate in the Nichols DNA Research Project By ordering a 37 marker DNA test. Our next step is to piece together the family of William Nichols Sr., and since the courthouse in Pitt County NC burned DNA and land records are the only way we can sort the mess out. So if you are or think you are descended from the Pitt County area then drop me a email and do a DNA test…. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you well know my big genealogy brick wall was with my Henry Nichols (Family Page and PDF Lineage). The earliest I found him was in Effingham County Georgia in the 1805 Georgia land lottery. Effingham County is not a burn county and has most of its early records. Well there is nothing on my Henry even though he lived there, met his wife and fathered 3 children there. NO RECORDS! he did not purchase land, did not pay tax, did not get married there. The only way I can place him there was from 2 Georgia land lotteries from 1805 and 1807 and from the Georgia Passport he was granted to move through Indian land on his way to Mississippi in 1810.

About a year ago I submitted my DNA to Family Tree DNA. My results are posted at http://www.brian-hamman.com/ResultsForNicholsSurnameProject.htm. Go to Kit # 40533 for Henry Nichols. As you can see I am a match for the descendant for William E Nichols.
In comparing 37 markers, the probability that Brian Nichols and Walter P. Nichols shared a common ancestor within the last…
4 generations is 31.74%
8 generations is 72.13%
12 generations is 91.16%
16 generations is 97.56%
20 generations is 99.38%
24 generations is 99.85%
Henry is 6 Generation removed from myself So Henry’s Grandfather and Conrads Grandfather have a 72.13% chance of being the same person.

I got my package in the mail yesterday, it contained 3 cotton swabs and very simple instructions. I am going to take each swab and rub/scrap vigorously for 30 seconds, put them in the container and mail them back. I should receive my test results in about 4-6 weeks so I will post back then. I cant wait……

Well I am taking the plunge and am going to submit my sample to take part in the Ancestry DNA project. I have a major brick wall that I have run out of options on so this is my last resort (baring divine intervention). I will post the step by step process and what results come from this. I am very excited and am looking forward to positive results.
I have a brief out line of what exactly this is about at the Ancestry DNA Basics Page.
