Dymond of Hudson's River yDNA Project will continue indefinitely at FTDNA.

Diamond and Diamond variants Surname Project at FTDNA

Dymond of Hudson's River yDNA Project at FTDNA


 Participation from direct line paternal descendants of all branches needed.
Contact us and we will advise as to whether or not you would be a good candidate.
There is still much to be learned.
 

Testing Funds
There are currently funds available to test, free of charge, direct line descendants of:

John Diamond 1759 (Christina Loyst)
Jacob Diamond 1756 (Margaret Loyst)
John Diamond 1760 (Katreen Gordinier)
John Dymond 1768 (Mary Lossing/Lawson) of Dymond Hollow, PA
Henry Dimond 1772 (Catherine Stewart) of Dymond Hollow, PA and Coldwater, MI
Matthew Dymond 1775 (Margaret Sickler) of Dymond Hollow, PA
William Dymond 1790 (Catherine Kisenger) of Woodstock, NY and Dymond Hollow, PA.
Isaac Dymond 1791 (Sarah Booth) of Woodstock, NY and NYC

Contact project manager to discuss possibility.

Can you help?

 Scans or photo copies of early D*mond ancestor images (pre 1900) and other images such as homesteads, gravestones, documents, records, etc. are appreciated and add to everyone's experience at this site.

Mary Polly Lawson/Lossing 
Direct maternal line descendants should be aware of the possibilities' regarding her Amerindian ancestry using mtDNA.
There is a direct maternal Amerindian lineage among the females of the Stephentown Dymond branches as well. Contact study administrator for details.
 

 

 

Participate

If you want to take part in this project you will find genetic proof of your descent from either of the D*mond Lineages of Hudson's River and kinship. You will leave a genetic record for your descendants and future researchers.

**A WORD of CAUTION**
Please be aware there are bogus and unscrupulous genetic genealogy DNA companies. One of the traditional internet genealogy companies has now gotten into the business of DNA testing. They are responsible for making genealogy a farce and now they are doing the same with genetic genealogy.
Having been at this since the beginning of public market DNA testing I am aware of who they are. If you have questions in this regard contact the project manager.

Note from the project manager:
I under took this study in the year 2002 as a volunteer being an enthusiast of our paternal lineage history with the desire to preserve and add to the body of knowledge that has been accumulated over the years by many family members from many branches and to correct misinformation where necessary. I am not connected to FTDNA or any other testing lab. I have never received compensation or incentive of any kind for my time or effort. There is nothing for me to gain from this study other than a greater understanding of common  ancestors and the opportunity to communicate with ‘cousins' for the purpose of sharing information.
This is a good faith effort for family history, recreational genetics, and genealogy for family lineage members.
