DNA studies suggest that all humans today descend from a group of African ancestors who-about 60,000 years ago-began a remarkable journey.

A panel discussion with Dr. Wells and select UNC Charlotte scholars on the significance of DNA as a historical document will follow the presentation. <http://images.bigfootinteractive.com/images/7110103/19531406/092607tix.gif> <http://newsletters.nationalgeographic.com/W9RH01523C79AD1D1DD1E36B24FA30> Buy Tickets <http://newsletters.nationalgeographic.com/W9RH01523C585D1D1DD1E36B24FA30> <http://newsletters.nationalgeographic.com/W9RH01523C684D1D1DD1E36B24FA30> To learn more about Spencer Wells and the Genographic Project, <http://newsletters.nationalgeographic.com/W9RH01523C387D1D1DD1E36B24FA30> click here.

    1. Re: [NCDOGS] The Merritt family of Orange and Chatham
    2. Bebe and John

    3. I would love to email with anyone familiar with the Merritts...I especially need to know something about Jack Merritt, aka THE BATTERING RAM of UNC football fame. His nickname gave Vic Huggins the idea to acquire a ram for the UNC mascot. Annette Cox, an historian at UNC, told me that Jack played football at Chapel Hill High bef. attending UNC in ca 1920, I think it was. I cannot find him in the Orange census so looked at Williams Township just over the line into Chatham at a John Merritt who seems to have been the correct age..and since Jack is a nickname for John... This fellow's father was named something fancy, Wellington..not looking at the moment, and elsewhere I saw that his name was Barbee Wellington Merritt. Annette wrote that after graduation Jack worked as a policeman or someway in security at UNC for many years. Any clues greatly appreciated! Thanks, Bebe Fox Researching North Carolina and Virginia families -----Original Message----- From: Ava H.
