Hello Gary,

Thank you very much for your research and for posting this information. I always wondered where the Mexican percentage on my DNA results came from. After many hours of research, I located Mrs Elmina Olivier Frilot who was born in Mexico. I located her from your photo of the ship Amelia manifest records as part of a large family of Louisiana Frilots. Do you think it is possible that there is a birth certificate for her back then. This is in 1867 I believe. Do they keep records from back then? Sincerely, L. Marie Norman (Elmina Olivier-Frilot is my great-great Grandmother)

Hello, my name is David R. White. My last name at birth was Bohannon. My mother remarried in 1955 to William K. White. I have a legal name change and all the documentation. My father was William Jethro Bohannon. I would certainly like to obtain a photo of him. My mother showed me one. She passed away in 2011.

Hi Gary, What source do you have to show that the father of Ira Durham is James Lindsay Durham? I noticed that you created that link. I am a descendant of his presumed sister, Clarissa and am trying to source her parentage. I'm not convinced that he and Clarissa are related. Thanks, EM.

Gary, re your comment on the page for Silas Hopkins UE (Hopkins-881). Here is my input: I am a descendant of Silas' brother Caleb Hopkins. I am in possession of my grandmother's extensive genealogical research, which included correspondence with several of Silas' descendants. In one of the letters, it states that the DAR records are "wrong" in saying that Silas died in Hope, N.J., and that he is in fact buried near Toronto, Canada. I don't have other proof of that, as yet, but supposedly it exists. I do agree with you, however, that it seems unlikely Silas was born in Wales...I feel that birth place is probably wrong info. However, everything other than his places of birth and death, including parentage, seem to match up with the facts I have. Thanks!

Gary: You proposed a bunch of matches and merges for some of my Moores and Wards. But the other versions are all orphaned imports from Ancestry that include no info and link only to a non-public tree. Wouldn't it be better just to eliminate those orphaned files somehow? I'm hesitant to merge with those kinds of files.

Hi Gary,

This one stayed in DeKalb, so if yours ended up in Macon - likely not the same person - but likely related somewhere.

He's a collateral line that is the husband of my first cousin 3 times removed and part of a very large very messy DeKalb convoluted disaster..that even the chance of DNA sorting things out is dicey..

My suggestion si that perahps we split them up, since there is doubt - put Johnetta with the new one and then add them as unmerged matches and then as we work through trees and can definitivley say one way or the other we do a final solution.. with notes on both profiles so others know off the start.
