You are right, your Dillmann ancestor is currently listed in Group 4 of the DNA project and a distant cousin of your tested. What we determined is that this line is separate, genetically, from the other lines in the project. At present, we don't have a match with any of our German testees. We would be able to do more analysis if we were to have other participants from this line to join our project.
Re: Janet Dillman Hollingsworth, Nova Scotia, 1813-1885
Hi, The DNA project might give many of us with our missing infomation. My family is in the DNA bank. We in our family are looking for a missing link around the early 18 hundreds or late 17 hundreds so we have to check this out. I have reached a dead end around the time Christopher and his brother came to North America. I wonder if my GG grandfather (Peter) was a brother to these fellows who came to north america? OF course we have lost contact with more recent relatives. We have a Henry Dillman or Heinrick who arrived in Canada around 1913. He is a brother to my grandfather Martin we would like to find his kin. Grandpa Martin's desire was to reconnect with his family. He knew they were enrout to America!! I have found the ship record with Heinrich and a female landing in Halifax in 1913 so any help to locate any of his family would be greatly appreciated. And if I have anything to connect Janet Dillman I will be most honored to pass on the information. Thank you for any and all help. Chris
