Raison d'état
This DNA project was created for selfish
reasons: to help me find proof of my DuBois ancestry. Like so many
others, the earliest documentation for our family line appear in Middle
Tennessee in the early 1800s. Census records pointed back to North or
South Carolina but years of research yielded no definitive clues.
After creating the project and receiving results for a DuBois cousin I
was delighted to discover we were a close match to descendants of Issac
DuBose (DuBosc), South Carolina immigrant from the Normandy coast of
France. This corroborated secondary
and tertiary evidence collected over the years and helped me connect
with a proven DuBose/ DuBois lineage.
My success convinced me that others might also find new clues and proof of
their ancestry. This is the motivation that drives our project forward. Please
let me know how we might improve this endeavor.
