Before we all go jump off a cliff let me say more. First off the surname LOVE is about the 6th most common name in America. Second off only 8 tests were done so far. While this seems to indicate that none of us are related it isn't necessarily true. We need more men to do the 12 marker test. I don't know about your Love family but mine were not to particular about who's wife or daughter they made babies with. Sorry but that is the way it was. So we have a few wood colts and then this group is just not big enough to represent so mam lines of LOVE. It may be that each of us need to go back over our genealogy generation by generation. What do we know for sure. What do we have proof of. Wills, tax lists, Tombstones, Obits, Census, military records. Church records. Then weed out what we think may be true. Personally for me, it may be hard for me to get back 5 generations although I think I can get that far. This study so far is messing up lots of our old source records like Kara Koldiron's Book, maybe Ray Worth Tennessee cousins. Maybe Jolee Love's book, maybe William Calhoon Loves Journal? We need to assess the damage. and Recruit -recruit-recruit---- I remember how some of you guys look. Gene Love looks like a younger version of my Grandpa. Lou in Houston doesn't favor a one of my Loves. Bill Love in La Porte TX again favors my grandpa. Slight built with white hair. I don't think it proves anything since Gene and Bill are from two different lines. Mary Harkey Russell [email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird
