Genetic Diseases of Sherbondy descendants

Here we list rare genetic diseases afflicting Sherbondy family descendants.  If other Sherbondy descendants have these same ailments, a Sherbondy ancestor may be a common link.   If you have other rare afflictions to add or your know a descendant with one of these, please let us know so we can check for common ancestry (no names will be published).

Jeanette Sherbondy has taken the lead in researching Genetics and DNA as it relates to Sherbondy heritage.  Read her 9-page article, Sherbondy Deep Ancestry:             PDF             HTML

Who did Johann Cherpantier descend from?  We will keep looking for historical records, but even if we find some, at some point we will run out of written records and get into a time in our past when surnames were not used.  We will still be asking ourselves who did this ancestor descend from?

Jeanette Sherbondy has created a site for DNA research which includes the Sherbondys.  To see her site, follow these links:

Combined with archaeological information, we can trace the general outlines of the migrations of these male branches all over the world.  Y-DNA research, then, is the strategy we can use to discover Johann Cherpantier’s deep ancestry!

What have we learned so far about Sherbondy deep ancestry?  Theirs is haplogroup I1a.  With this information we can find the Sherbondys on a world map of humanity!

Excerpts from Jeanette Sherbondy’s article:

I invite you to join my Sherbondy surname group at Family Tree DNA. What we need is at least one test from some man who is a Sherbondy but more distantly related, someone descended from Melcher, Phillip or John.  We would appreciate it very much if someone would do that!
