Group: Several of the people in the Scott DNA project descend from a John Scott who came to this country out of Ireland in 1745. Another group of test takers match our results but we haven't completely tied the two groups together--except we know there was a common ancestor. This common ancestor could be a brother of John or someone back in the old country. We are planning on hiring a researcher in Ireland to try to find John's parents and more information about him. Our problem is, we don't know where in Ireland to even start. John, being a Presbyterian, probably lived in Northern Ireland, but we are not sure. What we are looking for is someone on this group, that descends from the Scott line, with proven research back to the early 1700's in Ireland--or Scotland. We want to know where some of the Scott Families lived. If you have this type of information, please get in contact with me. Thanks, Charlie Scott

Hi, I am desparately trying to get one of the few male Scott relatives of mine to join the Scott DNA group. The more I think about these DNA groups the more valuable I think they are. In my Walker group there are over 250 members and by the groupings I can know which Walker families that I SHOULD NOT pursue any further and THAT is as valuable as those with whom I match perfectly and am pursuing. The same will be as true for the Scott group as for any other group when there is a significant number of Scotts in the group. And, I am still looking for the family of my John Scott, born Virginia, Jan 1799, married Nancy Kirkland in Henry Co.,AL in 1822, and died in Shelby/Panola Co.,TX in 1859 Lannie Walker,Sr. Fort Worth,Texas Meb42639@aol.com wrote: >Group: Several of the people in the Scott DNA project descend from a John >Scott who came to this country out of Ireland in 1745.
