I believe all Kilgore's of every spelling variant eventually connect. With few exceptions, the Y Chromosome testing results I am aware indicate about a 99 percent probability of a common ancestor within 24 generations. I agree completely with that. There could be other lines not so connected but they can probably be explained, in time, why that is the case. This is why the Y chromosome DNA testing is so valuable a tool especially among Kilgore's. We have a unique opportunity. Those interested in participation should look into it. Roy E.
