Join our Trask DNA study group at rwtrask@rcn.com. Collectively, we are resolving Trask Family mysteries.
The DNA matches above the 6th-8th generation go to both William and Osmonde Traske. Which means that the three of us are related to each other.
The DNA matches below the 4th-6th generation go to the Trasks that resided in New Salem, Massachusetts during the 1700 and 1800's.
The DNA results support the statement that, "our Trask ancestors came from Thirsk, a region that was a Viking stronghold for many centuries in Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England and that those Trasks removed to Somerset, England in the 1400's."
During January of 2015, I was very surprised to read that my 2nd great grandfather and his wife, are direct descendants of some of the founders of Lynn Village, Reading, South Reading, Wakefield; John Wesson, Zachary Fitch, Abraham Bryant, Thomas Kendall, William Hescy, Thomas Parker and Nicholas Browne. Five of which are named on the surviving Forty-one Puritan Gravestones from the First Burial Ground in 1644 Redding, MA. My German shepherd partner and I have acknowledged their stone markers ever since 1972 - what a wonderful and humbling surprise.
