Priscilla, This gives me a great deal of help. I knew William and Mary Dorsey Harris were both of age at time of marriage but with so many Dorsey girls most with father's permission, I can chart them out and compare them with the census. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the marriages. Thank you so much.

Julie, It is extremely easy but usually requires a male descendant. The female can test but the time period is more distant. Also the cost is more. The company sends two vials and each has a small swab that you run over the inside of your cheek. Then take the swabs and put back in the vials and send them off to the company. I though it would take 6-7 weeks; but the test came back in less than month. The cost varies, for 12 markers like we had, is $101.00 and the 24 marker cost about $275(not sure). I read up on all the pros and cons before deciding to go ahead. The test doesn't tell you how you are related but that the markers are the same for the person you matched. These sites explain much better than I. www.blairgenealogy.com/dna/dna101.html and www.familytreedna.com/trs_gendist.html are good sites to explain how it works. I hope these work, I never know. I went thru Familytree.

Dottie, How does this DNA matching work? Do you give your own blood sample to the research? I'm actually not sure I'm a blood relative.

This is an email to Sally Music, where-ever you are... your email has changed... I have kept all your Carter messages to me and was reviewing them today. I know now at least one way that Susannah Carter was born in North Carolina. On the Mortality Schedules of Porter County, Indiana, Indexed by Chris Hough for the Genealogy Dept of the Porter County Public Library, it lists the following information: Brown, Susan, Age 83, Birth State: "North Carol", Death Month 01/01/1870, Profession - without occp., cause: debility, days ill: -, Township: Washington, Father's Birthplace: - , Mother's Birthplace: -. Also several of her children list their mother's birth place as North Carolina. I have not checked out any North Carolina records for my Carter line yet - but it should not be too hard... How many counties where there in NC at that time period? Just another thing to do... Oh! by the way, I have changed my email address: [email protected] Also, I am thinking that my James Brown had a son named Samuel because Samuel turns up next to him on the tax records about 4-5 years - BEFORE his other sons. So it is possible that the Samuel that married Tabitha Carter is ours... (Although some one else claimed his father was someone else...). But since my Joseph Brown married Tabitha's sister - two brothers marrying two sisters... sounds good! Oh well, another mystery. See you!
