In the year 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.
There are eight pages of names matching our YDNA. But only four (4) names of Almand variations. At this point we may never find the answer to this. We are mostly Irish with a small amount of Scotch. Contact me if you are interested in these YDNA results. [email protected]

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.

If you take information that I have posted on my findagrave Memorials..... please, give me credit for my research.
Thank you! Shirley Ann Carter Bennett Barham

First son of Thomas Almand and Nancy David Almand.
John Almand has no middle name. (I have several documents with his signature....it was always: "John Almand"). Also, documents regarding him and he is always refered to as
"John Almand".
Please take time and look at his actual signature and the caption that I have added.
