Can someone tell me what serves as proof when requesting old records of ancestors at courthouses, to show you are descended family. I was not aware that any was needed until I read on some lists that people were not allowed to get the information unless they had some proof of relation. Jeannette

I think, I say that lightly, that the Kilgore Boards are back up and operational. I see that there have been some posts in the last couple of days that have not made it to the mail list. Hopefully, these will be up and running very soon... the new URL is: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=admin.board&r=rw&p=surnames.kilgore&o= 1&maxrows=25&dir=next Gail Meÿer Kilgore Casa Grande, AZ

That is so funny. I love it. I lucked out again this week. You know, we intended to go to the swap meet in Raleigh, Ms. June 9, but Bill had this surgery and we didn't get to go. A lady from Sebastopol found some charts I had on my Finley side and wrote to me. She sent me a history and also a picture of my gr-gr-grandfather, John Middleton Finley. I can't believe it,the Clark family and the Finley family in two weeks. How about that DNA? I'd like to have it done.I'm probably related to some monkeys in Africa. L.O.L.

The Brigham Young University was doing DNA research recently. The Dallas Genealogy Society had it recently for $10.00 and the Morgan County Alabama, I think, had the testing done this year. Dorothy

It's only an educated guess, but it would appear that we all have the UFO chromosome. What does Randy say?

Okay, now tell the truth...How many of you would be willing to fork over $220 to prove you're NOT related to me! "Respectfully", Randy

I'm gonna wait a while; by January we oughta be able to get this at Wal-mart for about $20. Which is about what it would be worth. I wanted one of the maternal babes to be named Jennie or Pauline. But, as we know, life is full of disappointments. So, Randy, your secrets are safe for a few more months.

Here is a site that would provide us with the location of the origination of the Kilgore line. http://www.oxfordancestors.com I checked it out and it was very interesting. Hope everyone is having a good summer. DdHober <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/d2hober/civilwar.htm">Civil War Resources</A>

Did you see the prices they want??? WOW! Too rich for my blood! $220.00 !!! If a lot of us went into it together I might be interested in sharing the cost of the mapping.

Thought some you might find this interesting. It fits several of my lines to a T:) Jenna NEW DNA EVIDENCE Copyright 2000 by Fredric Z. Saunders Scientists at the National Academy for the Study of UFO's have recently confirmed the existence of the "UFO chromosome." While most genealogists are aware of the x chromosome, passed from one female generation to the next, and the y chromosome, from which it is possible to determine descent in an uninterrupted male lineage from a common ancestor, the "UFO chromosome" had previously been only speculation. Working with DNA recovered from the aliens of the Roswell, New Mexico crash, the scientists have discovered the "UFO chromosome" is also present in some humans. This discovery confirms that aliens have been breeding with humans for centuries, and beaming their progeny back to earth. For the "low" price of $10,000, they will test your DNA to see if you possess the "UFO chromosome." While the test will not tell WHICH ancestor had the "UFO chromosome," there are several ways to identify that ancestor. For those ancestors to conceal their identity: 1. They moved every few years, never spending long at one location. 2. They were the only person of that surname in the county. 3. The county clerk who was also an alien, assured that your ancestor's marriage bond would "accidentally" be lost, their deeds set aside and never recorded, and their entire probate file would turn up "missing" even though indexes say it once existed. 4. The census taker would either not list them, OR he would list them twice, with slight differences, causing quarrels among descendants whether they are the same person or not. 5. The family Bible was sent "west" with the youngest unmarried daughter, where she married a "Mr. Smith." 6. The family cemetery was sold to outsiders, who used the headstones to make a sidewalk. 7. The church they joined did not believe in recording vital statistics. 8. They started rumors of how they were related to someone famous, causing descendants to search the wrong family. 9. They started rumors of how they were born in England, arrived in Virginia with two brothers (one of whom was born in France, the other in Sweden). To conceal their identity, one brother moved to Georgia, the other to Maine, while they remained in Virginia. 10. And, when all else failed and they were about to be discovered, the county court house would "accidentally" burn. If you can prove your ancestor was beamed down by aliens, Halbert's of Bath, Ohio has recently prepared a family history of the Alien family, complete with the Alien coat of arms, which you will be proud to display over your fireplace.
