This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Craig Taliaferro Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4IQ.2ACEB/2425 Message Board Post: I recently had a DNA test done with Family Tree DNA in order to see if I could validate the story of Taliaferro Craig's birth. There are two main stories out there, the first being that he was the son of John Craig and Jane Taliaferro. John Craig died in Scotland and Jane came to America with two of her brothers. The other story is that Jane Craig had an illegitimate son by a man named Taliaferro. After talking with someone researching the Taliaferro lines, it does not appear that there is a Taliaferro link, but still looking to see if there is one. So I am looking for any male direct descendants of Taliaferro Craig that have had the test done to compare results. Thanks, Ken Craig
Hi Ken I am not related to this line, but I've had an interest in the value of such tests. Would such a test be able to prove that all Craigs come from a common ancestor? Are these tests afordable or accurate? Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
