I joined a Kilgore mailing list that I see that you participate in and I wrote my lineage to the list but I'm not sure whether I did it right/whether it went through. Regardless, I descend from Robert Kilgore with the approximate dates of 1735-1782, from the Virginia area.

Hi Roy, Just wanted to let you know that I spoke with my brother and he agreed to do the DNA test for me. I'll let you know the result when I receive them. I ordered the kit a couple of days ago, so I figure it will probably take a month or so before I receive anything. I hope it will make a match somewhere and get me around the roadblock I've had for too many years so I can move on down the line. Thanks for your great suggestion. I do have a question concerning the DNA testing. Would it make a difference whether the test is from my older or younger brother? The only male Kilgores left in my direct line that I know of are my two brothers and I would like to make the best choice for the test.

Happy new year Gail - a 12 match is pretty common. Is he doing more markers? Hope so, as that will tell us much more.

Weclome aboard Kristi, So happy to have another Kilgore member on the band wagon. Or shall we say the all girls porta pitty band wagon. Must see archives for that one.

Hello Everyone! According to my family records, I relate back to the Robert Kilgore with the approximate dates of 1735-1782 who resided in the Virginia/ N. Carolina area. My info shows that he was born in Ireland, but aside from a bunch of names and dates I don't know much more about the family. My great grandmother did most of the initial genealogy research/compiling a long time ago (I don't know how much of the information she originally started with), and my family has never been sure how accurate the info is but when I plugged all the names and dates I have into ancestry.com it seemed to be consistent with 1,000s of other family trees. Not entirely sure what that means, but it seems promising given that the original information I had was collected without the help of a computer or internet. Anyway, I'm just starting out with all of this and I'm sure there's lots of stuff on the site for me to start reading before I begin asking questions!

John, Wallis's kit # is 166612 Does he connect with the other Chester Co./Westmoreland Kilgores? Gail

Kristi, as a new member of the mail list would you tell us which line of these many lines of Kilgores you are searching? If we can help, the help will be found here. Welcome to the list. Gail

John, Wallis Kilgore is the one that we paid for to get his DNA done. He is of the Chester Co./Westmoreland Kilgore's and is showing an exact 12 marker match with Jack [John], my husband... Gail

I have 2 brothers and 4 sisters, one of which passed last summer. I will give it some more thought and see if one of my brothers will do the test for me. I had written once, about a year or so ago, about the DNA test and was sent some information, I'll see if I can dig it up. At the time, I thought I could do the test. However, the test needed a male test subject not a female so I didn't pursue this avenue. Thanks for the advice. Nancy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I was married in the fort house some 20 years ago by my grandfather.

I also have a lot of Kilgore family still living in that area. I would be glad to share info that I have with anyone. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: RoyEKillgore_1 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.kilgore/938.3.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: "Origin & History of the Ancient Name Kilgour" is an historical narrative and while it does get into genealogical discussion of the earliest Kilgour's as part of the title subject, it will be of no value to family genealogists searching from about 1700 forward. You will learn from "Origins" that there is a very high probability that Kilgour's have common ancestral roots. Common ancestral roots are possible to refine through Y Chromosome DNA research since the Y chromosome is transfered through males only from generation to generation. There are a number of markers that the scientific community have identified, called alleles, that are of particular value in genealogical work. These alleles are, from what I understand, repeating sequences of DNA linked in a chain and periodically they will be interrupted. The number of times the sequence is repeated without interruption is the number that identfies that person. Using about 37 of these types of markers (alleles) one person can be identified from another. If there is a perfect match and the surname is the same or a variant thereof, the probability of having a common ancestor is over 99 percent. If there is a mutation of one of the markers, or in polite terms, a mismatch, of one marker then the person is said to be at a genetic distance of one. There could be up to 4 or 5 mismatchs and still hav! e a common ancestor within 24 generations of over 99 percent probability. If the number of mismatchs is over 5 it would be good to test again at the 67 marker level and if the number of mismatchs remains the same the probability goes up at all levels meaning increased probability of a common ancestor at 4,8,12,16,20, or 24 generations. The fact that you have reached a road block means you need to jog around the road block and perhaps move ahead and then look back. I would recommend finding a living male descendant of any of the Kilgore's you mentioned and get them to participate in the Kilgore Project at Family Tree DNA. You may find a very close connection to one of the branches participating in the program. I found out just exactly what I suspected since our family is genealogically well documented though not complete. We are not connected to any of the participants in this country. BUT, we are connected to all of them beyond these shores at some point and the ultimate point is 20-24 generations and ultimately in Scotland. If you have already done the above, then you have a genuine records deficiency and a major headache and you need a little luck for sure! If you do not know any living Kilgore's in your family try going back to your earliest known Kilgore and come forward on the other male lines until you find someone. The Y chromosome DNA route is not a substitute for standard genealogical information but it might help you open up new avenues to resources. Sorry to be so long. I hope these comments are helpful.
