The Briles Information Network has reset and updated the databases for the new year.The death index has also been updated. The BIN page on MySpace has been removed.

The Briles Information Network would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! With the new year brings a lot of changes for the curator and other projects. There will be more focus to projects here on the BIN. You can also read last year's issue by clicking on the menu at the bottom of the page. The databases are in update mode! Again, welcome everyone to 2010! Let's get working on the BIN projects!

This section is a permanent part of this site. The Briles Information Network has decided to participate in a DNA project on Family Tree DNA. The BIN will join the Germanna Colonies of Virginia and Broyles/Briles group already established on the site. We will also start our own group on the site. This segment is a simple guide to DNA and Genealogy research. I will make this very simple and painless! Genealogical DNA tests generally involve comparing the results of living individuals to historic populations.

The Basics

We humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes, known as "X" and "Y". Genealogists want to trace the paternal lineage (father) via the male because the Y-chromosome is passed unchanged from father-to-son (Y-DNA Test). Females don't take this test because the Y-chromosome is not passed to the ladies. Both Parents pass X-chromosomes to their daughters; a Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA Test) is used to trace maternal (mother) lineage.

Testing will:

• Determine if two people are related
• Determine if two people descend from the same ancestor
• Find out if you are related to others with the same surname
• Provide clues about your ethnic origin

Genetic testing can demonstrate a relationship; meaning it can confirm that two test participants share a common ancestor. Testing also demonstrates probable ethnic heritage, meaning that these tests can show that your ancestors came from a particular geographic area of the world. It can definitively disprove a genetic relation. Very different test results always mean unrelated individuals. DNA test results are most useful when compared to the results of others. In general, the closer two people's results are to one another, the more closely related are the individuals.

Testing Wont Reveal

Genealogy DNA testing will not reveal any genetic disorders or foretell disease. It will not define the exact degree of kinship; meaning it will not spell out who your ancestor is by name. This test will not create a family tree for you or establish a direct lineage. Y-DNA and basic mtDNA test used by genealogists is NOT a paternity or forensic/crime test and it does not reveal any health/medical information.

What is Tested & Cost?

Genealogical DNA test involves taking a painless cheek-scraping (also known as a buccal swab) at home and mailing the sample to a genetic genealogy laboratory for testing. The BIN will be using Family Tree DNA for testing and storing of the results. All males with the Briles Surname or from the Germanna Colonies of Virginia will be using the 37-marker test. Cost for a Y-DNA 37 marker is between $120-$149. Privacy issue regarding testing can be found here.

Please contact R. Trent Briles if you are interested in being tested. The entire process will be explained to you via teleconference or by email. The more people we have to test, the cheaper the testing kits. More information regarding DNA/Genealogy testing can be found here at Family Tree DNA.

The Briles Information Network is pleased to announce the first ever Pod and Video Cast! The BIN has partnered with Itunes and Blip.tv to provide a video and audio Podcast of this site. The video cast will mirror features and death notices on this site, but in a broadcast/newscast format.

Itunes will be the feature RSS reader/receiver however you can use any Podcast software to subscribe and listen. The easiest way to subscribe is to access the Itunes logo below or open Itunes, search for Briles Information Network and click on the subscribe button on page.

The video cast will officially begin in early 2009 and will update on a quarterly basis. At this time, there are several videos already produced by Video Impressions and the BIN located on the Vidcast. The BIN is planning full feature documentaries on several churches, cemeteries, and in-depth stories on the Briles Families in 2010 so stay tuned!. Feel free to check our Pod and Video Casting out by clicking on the respective buttons below. If you have any problems, please contact us.

The databases are where the GEDCOM's and main family information is housed. You can view the Briles Surnames/Databases in a variety of formats. The BIN uses the PAF Software or Personal Ancestral File to create a GEDCOM file. The GEDCOM file is then converted to an html file so it can be placed on the Internet. The BIN has adopted the policy of restricting information in regards to living family members. Only names will be displayed in the databases below. It does not cost anything to view the files and the BIN never charges for access to the databases and you don't need to download anything!

Death Index

The Death Index is a vital part of the BIN. This spreadsheet contains family members who have passed and the BIN has verified their death personally. The BIN verifies deaths by four different ways: Death Certificates, obituaries, photos of gravesite, or verification from a genealogist. This databases lists the name of the deceased, dates of birth and death, parents and spouse's name, location of the body, and what method the death was verified. You can access the death index by clicking on the research link above.

Burial & Cemetery Database

You can also view the Burial and Cemetery Database which is a listing of burial locations for people listed in the databases.

With the new look of the BIN we had to remove some of the old features, which included the side menu bar. We added a new, slide in menu which you can see on the left. We created this section so everyone could access the main features on the BIN. This section will remain here to assist you in finding the features you need.
