Here's a link to your ggdad McKinley Morrow, it shows him with a son Carl D. Morrow: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=morrowdna&id=I501 Just click onto the above link with your cursor and you'll be taken to the McKinley Morrow webpage. Scroll down to where it shows his father William Henson Morrow (underlined) and click on it to be taken to that webpage. Just keep on scrolling down to the fathers name & clicking on it to keep going back. The final webpage shows NC Irish (Group II) Morrow, which connects all Morrow donors of our Group II who are kin to each other. Quick count shows 9 members in Group II. I'll pass your email to them so they can contact you. Suddenly you have ten or more distant cousins (maybe). To actually prove you and they are biological cousins, you would have to have a male Morrow of your line take a DNA test. Amelia and I are Co-Administrators of the Morrow DNA testing project. If you wish to join our group, all that is needed is a living male born with the surname Morrow within your branch. If you aren't a male, perhaps your husband, brother, father or cousin who has a Morrow surname might be the donor and you could be his sponsor. By sponsor I mean your email would be used to correspond between Amelia and myself plus certain staff members of FamilytreeDNA, the company which handles DNA testing. Plus you'd be responsible for any costs for DNA testing. I'll be upfront with the costs involved. If you join by Dec 31, 2007, the 25 marker yDNA test is $135 including mailing the DNA kit to the address of the DNA donor. He'll have to pay costs to mail it back, about $2 if you live in the USA. The DNA sample is a cheek swab, like brushing your teeth, simple & painless. Instructions are included with the DNA kit. The DNA test is only of the Y chromosome and only how many markers you se! lect to test: 12, 25, 37 or 67. Again, I recommend the 25 marker test, it's sufficient to prove kinship, whereas the 12 marker test only shows who is not kin. If you are interested in DNA testing, email me: billmorrow1938@sbcglobal.net Bill Morrow of Oklahoma Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
