Author: Taylormadename Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.barefoot/311/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am an adoptee trying to search for my heritage using DNA. I have a 3rd Cousin match to a Smith who is closely related to the Barefoot family in Johnston, North Carolina (Nathan T Barefoot and family). I have recently found another shared segment of DNA with 5 other's and found that one had a mother with the maiden name Barefoot, but they appeared to be from Texas for several generations. I was wondering if there is a line somewhere that connects the Johnston, North Carolina Barefoot's to Texas? Also, does anyone know of any autosomal projects for the Johnston, NC area or the Barefoot's? I have also had some matches with Peacock and McLamb, which appear to be from Johnston also, although much further back. Any help would be appreciated.
