 In the photo is my great-great grandfather, Harmon Howard, his wife Mary Hughes, their two daughters and three sons. Howard Genealogy currently covers websites pertaining to Howards, and in the future may include sources for finding actual records. It also includes a way to purchase issues, current and past, of The Howard Historian as I am in the process of copying older issues and hope to have them available in PDF or ebook format. Each of the DNA categories has an immigrant ancestor page which will have some basic information about that ancestor, from information you give us or anything we can find on the internet about that person. Under the ancestral page will be a page for each participant to input their own ancestry. These pages will be password protected with participants as the editor of those pages. You can add photos, genealogies or other ancestral data. Please do not add any currently living individuals. I request that you indicate any research, which has not been proven by DNA testing, as speculation. (Ex: We do not currently know the immigrant ancestor of the three most distant (proven as related by DNA testing) Howards of North Carolina...Obediah, James, and Seth. Many genealogies point to the Nansemond Howards as their ancestors, but this has not yet been proven. If testing does later prove you right, you can "Lord it over us".) In addition to each page, participants are given a blog page. This can be used for any genealogical purpose you wish…keeping others updated on your research, asking for help, etc. If you have tested with someone other than FTDNA and would like to have your results included in our projects, please let me know and I will include a page and blog for you. If you have not tested but would like to add your research to your ancestor, I will also allow you a page and blog, just contact me. We have quite a few Unknown Immigrant Ancestor pages in the website. This is because those taking the test have not provided any information on their earliest known ancestor. When you give me a name to add to the page title (someone who is no longer living), I will set up the page so you can log in. When you contact me about these free pages, please have your FDNA participant number available and a username and password you want to use so I can keep confusion at bay. If you are a DNA participant through another company, I will assign you a number in addition to getting the username and password. The same goes for anyone not testing but wanting to be part of the research. The images heading our webpages 01/30/2012
I spent several years researching the Earl of Arundel and his wife, Alatheia Howard and I became fascinated with them and their place in history, both as ancestors of the current Duke and descendents of the earlier Dukes. Each picture in this website represents either a part of their lives or their ancestry. The Genealogy section depicts the couple in their later years, years which were filled with much pain and loss. The YDNA Results is overseen by the 2nd Duke of Norfolk, I chose his picture because he when King Richard III was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth by Henry VII, who asked him why he was on the side of the "usurper", to which he replied “Sir, He was my crowned King. Let the authority of Parliament place the crown on that stake, and I will fight for it; so would I have fought for you, the same authority place the crown on your head.” (Great answer, though it might have cost him his head!) I wanted to show the spirit of our female ancestors (mtDNA Results) with a photo of a painting of Bess of Hardwick, second wealthiest woman next to Queen Elizabeth. She showed her spunk (craziness) by accusing her husband of fathering a child by Mary Queen of Scots, though Elizabeth forced her to recant her accusation. I can't imagine being forced by my queen to "host" a beautiful young queen in my home for almost 20 years knowing my husband was besotted with her! (As, apparently, was almost every man who ever met her.) I was somewhat less picky with the image of a family from the 17th century. I know nothing about them, but they show the family dress of the period. This brings us to the last image I have chosen for this website, Ben Jonson. I chose him to oversee the blogs because he was a famous writer who knew Alatheia and Thomas Howard quite well; who else to watch over us as we tell of our histories! | 
Karen LaClergueI love researching just about anything, but am addicted to Genealogy. I have used paintings from the 1500-1600's to illustrate this site, thanks to Wikimedia, the source of much of the meadia used in Wikipedia; a source I use frequently. Thank you Wikipedia!
