History of Our Family Group Project
Our project officially began in January 2003 at
the encouragement of Dinah Dalton McCloud. By
March, Louis Dolton had agreed to serve as the
project administrator. He later invited Melanie
Crain to join him in administering the
project. Melanie had been instrumental
through the years in organizing genealogical
research for the Virginia Daltons, editing the Dalton
Gang Newsletter and the Dalton Journal.
Louis performed his duties as administrator for
fifteen years until he retired from the position
in August 2018. In that same month, Jim
Klumpp agreed to join the project as an
administrator. He has been active in
researching these Daltons for nearly a half
century and has worked with several of our members
in interpreting and advancing their results.
The company we use is Family Tree DNA which has
provided the tests and the lab results, has
answered many difficult questions for us, and has
shared helpful information about DNA testing both
on their website and in their newsletter. Take a
