Hogg DNA Project - Project Plans


Our X most wanted list

This is our list of the X most wanted new members.  Although any candidate with
the surname Hogg, or any variation of Hogg, or who for any reason thinks that
he might be the paternal descendant of a Hogg is welcome to join the project,
these candidates are identified by us as particularly desireable because they
might answer a specific question.  The number X will vary from time to time.

1. a descendant of line VA1744.  This is an important Virginia line for which
   we need a baseline reference that other members can be compared with.  It is
   possible that this line might be connected to line NJ1682 or line VA1657 and
   there are several other later Virginia lines that might connect to this line.

2. a descendent of line UK1698.  This is the line of James Hogg, The Ettrick
   Shepherd.

3. descendants of William Hoge, b.1660, Musselburgh, Scotland through two of
   his sons other than William Jr. This data, in combination with the data from
   the descendants of his son William Jr., which we have already, will
   establish the haplotype of the senior William.

4. descendants of line VA1745 through Capt. Peter Hogg and his brother James.
   This data, in combination with the data from Peter's brother Thomas, which
   we have, will establish the haplotype of the father of these three brothers,
   who is thought to be James Hogg of Edinburgh.

5. descendants of Richard Hogg Sr. b.ca.1717, Gloucester Co. VA through his
   son Richard Jr. This data, will prove that Richard Jr. was a son of Richard
   Sr., line VA1656 and not from line VA1657 or line VA1658.
