Glad to see your work being so well received, Richard. I've heard some good comments from some friends that have attended your lectures in the past. I want to ask you a question about the Yuchi. Within a week, I was notified by a person that her sons had a perfect DNA match with my DNA, and they are members of the Muscogee Creek Nation in OK as well as their dad was half Hispanic and half Yuchi with a line into Timothy Barnard and believed it to be through Timpoochee Barnard. Some of Timpoochee's decedents changed their name to Barnett.....the surname of this family from OK. I know you don't do much on genealogy, but do you have any reference materials about the Yuchi other than what we can Google through the internet? I suspect my grand daddy Tom Timothy that was raised an orphan many have actually came out of the Yuchi nation.
