Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / SPENCERS of ENGLAND or IN(former)Brit Empire
« on: Wednesday 30 January 19 07:50 GMT (UK)  »
CALLING On ALL "Spencers" to DO a DNA test --a "y-line" (yDNA), if you are a Male born w/ the last name of Spencer. Or, if you are a Spencer female, then you can do one of two (or both) things. 1) to "prove" your Spencer last name IS "Spencer" AND to Put "your" Spencer family into its correct biologically-related Spencer group, you need to get a Spencer MALE of your family (a brother, your father, grandpa, uncle, his male child (your 1st cousin), etc.), to take the yDNA test, and to take it via the FamilyTreeDNA (Spencer) group test, at: FamilyTreeDNA.com. The Group DNA co-ordinator, is: Floyd Spencer, whose email is: removed Or, as a female born Spencer, you also could take an "autosomal" DNA test--such as FamilyTreeDna.com 's, "FamilyFinder"--which looks at your Dad's Spencer side AND your Mom's maiden name's info.
THE REASON I am ENCOURAGING All "Spencers" to DO these DNA tests, IS--that the 4 brothers line is TRYING to FIND "Other" of our BLOOD Cousins---especially Those of descendants whose ancestors chose to REMAIN IN ENGLAND, (or emigrated ELSEWHERE w/in the British Empire), in 1630 when the 4bros. LEFT England then. Also this Helps EVERY Other family of Spencer-named people, to group them into THEIR own blood-related Spencer families--and most people possess paperwork on Their lines, so it advances your knowledge of Your history, as well! Another "facet" of having all Spencers DNA-tested is that we can ALSO Find WHERE All the various Spencer families DISPERSED To, around the World,esp. w/in the (then) far- flung British Empire. We ALL may find "cousins" in every place, from South Africa, to Hong Kong, or Australia, New Zealand, India, or who knows? PLEASE "Spencers" take a DNA test--it would SOLVE So many questions & issues. And it is PAINLESS--just a swab of the inside of your cheek cells, inexpensive (from $59-$100-ish), quick (you get Your "results" online (in a password-protected account YOU create)--And PRIVATE, as you are referred to online ONLY by a KIT#, NOT Your NAME! So I really hope ALL "Spencers" will take this Journey! (The reason I am pointing everyone to the company of "FamilyTreeDNA.com", is that They've been doing this the Longest (since 1999) & have one of the larger data-bases, as well as are the ONLY Company having a special Spencer GROUP test which PUTS you IN your correct Spencer family blood-related group of Your genetic Spencer cousins! I hope people will be enthused to take advantage of this GREAT TECH TOOL to Solve your "brick walls", gain further-back Ancestral knowledge of your own Spencer kin, AND connect-up (Only, later, IF you wish) w/ other of your Spencer new-found family! Thanks for reading! Take Care, "Cousin" Vienna (Spencer)

HI Rosie,

You ask:  just being curious, have you managed to link these Spencers directly to yours  :)

NO, not yet, but it's getting there. I need to be able to bring Henry Spencer back far enough To link him to whom i believe he attaches to. But we shall see.

From him, on down to the Spencers of today i have found of his line, they all possess the particular looks, traits, of "our" line (just as Every family has those "specific" looks/personas,etc. that "dis- tinguish" them from other lines w/same last names but not blood-related).

Anyway it's a Fun search, if nothing else. DNA some day will prove my theories at any rate, but it's hard to get folks to do the simple, painless, inexpensive (male) y-line genetic surname marker DNA test. People don't realize it's "private'---no identifying names used (just a kit #), it does Not test anything Other than your surname markers (no health stuff,no paternity stuff, etc.). And they de- stroy the remaining DNA after the test--it's Not kept on file for any reason at all. So maybe one day when people are more educated about it, it will be a no-brainer to do this, so as to "place" oneself w/in a greater context of one's genetic family, and allow one to find other blood cousins, as well as connect-up with family who Do have paperwork oneself lacks!

Ok all for now,

Vienna Spencer

Thank you Trish for your latest! You are a dear! Great idea and 1 i have actually used before, but by calling a cemetery, not the church, as my Spencers were Said to have been buried in the OLD PLAINFIELD CEMETERY in Plainfield, IL & when i contacted them, the gal there actually went out into the graveyard, took photos(!) of all 7 headstones, and through that I got all the info I'd been chasing for years, on my great-great Grandfather Spencer, and his kids!

So you are Right!---calling or emailing various entities--like libraries, churches, cemeteries (esp. to speak to the Sexton (the one who keeps all the burial cards w/info like who paid for the plot, or other family info on them) can be really helpful!

So thanks--i will certainly contact that church in Surrey!!! Take care, Vienna  :  )

Oh Look---already when I clicked on just 1 of the Links you posted....

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C10434920

It states in the excerpted info the below.....

"Henry Spencer, gent late of East Dereham, Norfolk and now of Thorpe, Surrey and Ann Spencer his wife."

And THAT finally PROVES Henry WAS first of NORFOLK and Later of SURREY!!! (there was such confusion over the Thorpe,Surrey business, when Really what occurred was a person mixing-up the Thorpe, Norfolk and other Norfolk towns Henry was "of" and lived "in", with the later inheritance of the land in Thorpe, SURREY, by Henry's wife, and which caused them both to relocate into Surrey!!

So this document you found mentions him being OF Norfolk, but Now of Surrey! Yey--confusion, ex- plained! Thanks so much, Vienna
