Hello All, I have received a DNA 25 Marker Match Report from <[email protected]> for Russell Lee Brown currently living in San Francisco, CA. His Great Grandfather was William Brown born on 15 Feb. 1815 in Belfast, County Antrim, N. Ireland. He emigrated to America and married Lucretia Spurlock on 29 Feb. 1844 in Jefferson Co. Iowa. L- 20, L - 98 & L -240 Lineages also have a DNA 25 Marker Match. James Beaty (Beatty), L - 98 was born about 1716 possibly in Ballykeel-Edgonnell, County Down, Hillsborough Parish, N. Ireland. Francis Beaty (The Surveyor.), L - 20 was born about 1711 possibly in Ballykeel-Edgonnell, County Down, Hillsborough Parish, N. Ireland. There is no documentation that supports this birth place as far as I know for either of them but this location has been mentioned and is very close to Belfast, County Antrim, N. Ireland. In fact, I have been there and have visited a Beattie Family in Belfast. His family line came from Comber, Co. Down, N. Ireland that also is very close to Belfast. There seems to be a number of Beaty, Beatty, Beattie from this area of N. Ireland. Does any one have an idea how to resolve this puzzle? Best Regards, Barry L - 98, San Marco, San Diego Co., CA
