DNA PROJECT~
Dear
Newberry Researcher:
Many
genealogists are studying the Newberry surname. Some are curious, distant
descendants while others are "present generation" members of the
clan. This project is designed to be inclusive for both groups.
NEWBERRY
FAMILY ADVENTURERS
English
emigrant, Thomas Newberry began a new chapter in life when, in 1634 he

A CALL FOR DNA VOLUNTEERS
Partnering with DNA Consultants of Scottsdale, Arizona, the first goal of the project is to find modern male descendants of THOMAS AND RICHARD NEWBERRY/NEWBURY.

2. JOSEPH
returned to England
in 1648 to manage the family estate at Marshwood Vale;

1. TRYAL
was involved in the Indian Wars and his descendants found in Montville, Conn.
2. BENJAMIN

3. JOSEPH -
