Well, It appears we have another interesting problem to solve. The member that's been writing with all the alluring tidbits about a possible lineage to Charlotte Coats's James, John, William group is related to the 1st group on our DNA page at http://www.ancestrees.com which is called Alex/James for TX/TN according to another researcher. The good news is that they are obviously both Coats lines. So anyone out there that knows you are related to Alexander Coats, we sure would appreciate you joining the group to ascertain which line is which. I thinks it's the mystery that keeps us all involved in this. :) Linda Coate, admin.
