I need a male family member with a direct connection to John Porter McElroy to contact me. I have purchased DNA genekits from Ancestry and need him to participate in the test. I do not expect him to pay me back. I thought I could use just one but I can't. I am having my uncle do one and found out I have to have another with direct tie to John McElroy who lived in Weakley Co., TN from 1830s' to 1853 when he died there. John Porter is descended from William, a son of John and my uncle is descended from John who was another son. He came to TX by 1870. I also have the maternal kit if a female from John Porter is interested. You can contact me directly at: vivian@camalott.com Thanks in advance. Vivian in TX

Jeraldine, Don't quit. I've been looking for 20 years for a link to my grgrgrandfather, but to no avail. It's like he vaporized from nowhere. When you need to ask a question, just ask, don't beat around the bush. Try living in Saudi Arabia like I have for the past 25 years and feel /or see how we are treated like white slaves.

Social security started in the late 1930's and most of the applications were made at that time. If the person you are looking for died before the mid 1950's they most likely had no social security benefits accumulated and as such a claim was never filed and they would not be listed in the SSDI.

I am researching the McElroy/McAlroy branch of my family tree. Any assistance or information would be greatly appreciated. Location details are very sketchy but the family probably eminated from Engalnd, possibly Londob. The variation I have in the McElroy/McAlroy spelling is because I have confirmed certificates that use both variations. The information I have at the moment is: Descendants of Daniel McElroy 1 Daniel McElroy b: Unknown d: Unknown .. +Catherine McMullen b: Unknown d: Unknown .. 2 Anne McAlroy b: Abt. 1829 in Fermanagh, Ireland d: Unknown ...... +James Hatton b: Abt. 1824 in London, England d: Unknown m: 27 September 1859 in St. Peter's Church of England, Melbourne ...... 3 James Vincent Hatton b: 12 January 1859 in Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia d: Unknown .......... +Mary Mullan b: 14 December 1861 in East Collingwood, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia d: 12 May 1922 in Melbourne East, Victoria, Australia m: 9 July 1879 in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia .......... 4 Jonathon Vincent Hatton b: 11 November 1880 in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia d: Unknown .............. +Hannah Thomson b: Abt. 1884 in Richmond, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia d: Unknown m: 21 January 1902 in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia .............. 5 Veronica Margaret Hatton b: 5 August 1902 in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia d: 13 April 1979 .................. +Charles Ian Henderson Marr b: 3 February 1898 in Norwood, South Australia d: 1961 in Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia m: Abt. 1920 .............. 5 Mary Josephine Hatton b: 5 August 1906 in North Fitzroy, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia d: Unknown .................. +John Swallow b: Unknown d: Unknown m: Unknown .............. 5 Marjory Blanche Hannah Hatton b: 1911 in North Fitzroy, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia d: Unknown .................. +John Denton b: Unknown d: Unknown m: Unknown .............. 5 Robert Hatton b: Unknown d: Unknown .......... 4 Albert Vincent Hatton b: 1894 in Collingwood, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia d: 1894 in Collingwood, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia .......... 4 Margaret Ann Hatton b: 1879 in Collingwood, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia d: 1880 in Collingwood, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia -- Unless stated to the contrary at the beginning of the text, this message may be considered to be in the public domain and may be copied, distributed, forwarded, etc. without infringing upon any copyright to which I may normally be entitled.

Try looking in an Alabama Death Index, not SSDI. J. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

The only mention of the name Brown that I've found so far is this: William Brown McElroy b. 18 Oct., 1826 in Caldwell Co., Ky. I doubt that there is a connection. You wouldn't find your father or grandfather in SSDI because they died before 1962. That is when the index began, so to speak. Go to the SSDI page on rootsweb.com. There is a link to another page that tells about the history of the Social Sucurity Death Index. If your grandfather was born in Ireland as late as 1871, have you tried finding a record of naturalization or immigration? Or a ship passenger list with his name on it? Or, how about death certificates for either of them? And, I wouldn't be so quick to assume discrimination due to a "Mixed Heritage", even in the South. Besides, by the 1870's, American Indians east of the Mississippi had been marrying white folks for close to 200 years. If you'd like to write to me directly and give me the information that you do have, I'll be glad to try and give you some more direction for your search.

Betty, Thanks for writing. I got David's book(s) last summer and they are just overwhelming!! When I find someone that you or some of the others is certain came from John (1690), I try to verify it with the books (when I have the time) or I make a note that that person is probably in the books. If I ever get to concentrate just on this family for an extended period, I'm sure that I'll have a boatload of questions for you. I hope you're not planning on going anywhere for the next twenty or thirty years. As to Adam (m. Juelly Dowde) springing from the Kentucky bunch, though, I have to say that he isn't. But that surely isn't set in concrete. I only know that at this point, I have extracted all of them from Rev. McElroy's "Scotch-Irish McElroys" and the "McElroy Family Newsletters" (except for a couple or three issues) and haven't found a single one named Adam. It is a possibility that Adam Calhoun could be from that family, though, as a desc. of James3 (John2,James1) who married Violet Davis Calhoun(?). If anyone has a thought on that, chime in. Out of all the people in my db, I have found only a handfull who are named Adam...the two mentioned above and the ones in Pa. who are from Thomas Ray McElroy's line. So, has anyone found a connection to the Adam who married Juelly Dowde?

Administrator Assistant Needed. On rare occasions, I have need of someone to take over my lists while I am away either on vacation or ill. This is one of those times. I am getting ready to go on a short vacation and when I get back, will go in the hospital for an outpatient procedure, but don't expect to be up to working my lists for a few days. If you are interested, please apply to me directly. The tasks are not heavy and do not require a lot of PC knowledge, but do require that you monitor the list daily - preferably more than once a day. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THE LIST. If you are interested and want more information, please write to me at: mdmgen@aol.com
