Subject:    [SPAM] [Robbinsfamilysouthjersey] Robbins of Cape Cod & Richard Robins of Cohansey

Since the Richard Robins of Cohansey line tested I've been contacted by
a man with the surname Robbins who believes he is a descendant of a
John Robbins of Cape Cod. His DNA matches the Richard Robins of
Cohansey males at 11/12 markers. Since the Richard Robins males appear
to be his closest match, he thinks there is a relationship. Mr. Robbins
links his genealogy solely on H.N. Latey's 1917 booklet "The Robbins
Family of Cape Cod." I see no evidence to link the Richard Robins of
Cohansey line to John Robbins of Cape Cod. Mr. Robbins' idea of a
relationship to the Richard Robins males appears to stem from his match
at 11/12 markers. The following quote regarding 12 marker matches is
from John German to me, "the problem with 12 marker tests is they often
produce random false matches even with the same name and in this
instance its an 11/12 match."  There's an album in the group's photo
area under  "Robbins of Cape Cod" if anyone is interested is reading
the first three generations of the Cape Cod Robbins genealogy.
