On this page will be listed all submitted family
lines by earliest known Leffew ancestor, along with contact information for the
submitter, who will be also be known as the Line Leader. As noted in the welcome message on the Home
Page, it is anticipated that most participants will be descendants of Stephen
Lefew/Lephew of Rockingham County, North Carolina. Accordingly, set forth below is his family
group record. Each tested descendant of
Stephen will have their pedigree posted, beginning with an identified grandson
of Stephen. This pedigree will include
the code number of the participant so that the yDNA results can be
referenced. If a participant is not able
to trace his family back to one of Stephen’s sons, a separate pedigree will be
added that starts with the earliest proven Leffew ancestor. If we get enough participants, we may be able
to identify markers whose allele readings are specific to particular branches
of the family, which may help in the effort to identify a participant’s
specific branch of the Leffew family.
Please note that participation in this project is
not required for a listing on this page.
Those who would like their lineage added to this page should send their
pedigree information to the Administrator.
Please note that the purpose of this page is to provide basic
information that will identify the line, as opposed to a full fledged family
history. Accordingly, the Administrator
will only post a stripped down descendants’ chart or pedigree, as has been done
for Stephen Lefew/Lephew below. If you
wish, a link to an offsite expanded family history can also be included. Here is a link to your Administrator’s research:
Stephen Lefew/Lephew. As to the next generation,
the Leffews of Grainger County, Tennessee, have been the primary focus of my
research.
