The Dunbar DNA project has eliminated some early Dunbars that some reseachers had shared or connected on Ancestry's public trees and which I at first thought was part of my Dunbar tree. Ancestry does not guarantee that all info on public or private trees on their site is accurate yet I have gotten many clues from Ancestry. Their census records are very helpful. The Dunbar DNA project identified 2 close matches for me. One was my youngest son who did a school project 6 or 7 years ago with the smallest amount of markers. The other Dunbar match was a descendant of great great grandfather's brother-both from Tyrrell or Hyde counties in North Carolina . The brothers were born in the very early 1800s. So, as more information and different kinds of information become available, we have to continue to do our detective work and be open to adjusting our family trees without getting terribly upset. Just some thoughts.
