Our Belt Team web page ( Anne, Walter and Nan are members)

It tells about our team research history and that we are
in a DNA project trying to tie us and our HUMPHREY BELT into
Sir Robert Belt, Mayor of London in the 1650s, or prove there
is no relationship.
My opinion ( worth what) is that thee is no relation to Sir
Robert Belt, otherwise why would have Humphrey come over to
Jamestown in 1635 as an Indentured Servant under a 7 year
work contract?
EVERYBODY, in my opinion (walter), should watch the wonderful
video " The Journey of Man" that will tell
in words that even I can understand--about what and how in
regard to DNA and what it has shown. To watch it go to: www.bradshawfoundation.com
DNA Study:
There have been several Belt family projects, but the latest
is undoubtedly the most exciting and this is a DNA map. The
intention is to try and pinpoint the direct line from Humphrey
Belt, especially by comparing it with that of anyone who is
a direct male descendent from Sir Robert Belt of York. By
isolating the different groups it is hoped we can get closer
to the place of origin for this most elusive of ancestors.
This project is being managed by J. D. Belt who lives in New
Zealand, email address humphreybelt@xtra.co.nz through http://www.FamilyTreeDNA.com
