Surnames: Blackburn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADE/17.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Thankyou for answering so quickly. I will look up the information you gave. Interesting about the DNA study. I have Meeks in my line and I noticed the Meeks are doing a similar study. The problem in my specific line is finding a male with the Meek surname...my family is descended through a sister...but I am hoping to contact someone eventually for that. I think that our Meeks are actually Muks, and German. So..anyway..thats another story. Its just interesting to me that the Blackburns are doing the study. It sure would help some people to solve their brick wall. Happy Thanksgiving Day.
