In 2017 - Our YDNA was done for our Almand family.
Our name is not ALMAND/ALMOND or any variations of this name.
We can only trace (with proofs) our family line back to Thomas Almand, Sr. born 1762 who married Annice Ussery.
Contact me if you are interested in these YDNA results.

All that I post on findagrave has been a labor of love and required many years of research and hard labor. Please, ask before you take my photographs (this is a FAG rule). I would like you to give me credit using my name when you copy my genealogy postings and photographs.

Thank you! Shirley Ann Bennett Barham
