Crystal & Bess, The other day I happened upon a website that lists the names of the DNA thingy, but I accidentally clicked my way there and have no idea where to find it again. I sure would consider getting into the act if there were a DNA project for the Taulbee's. As far a family handing down information, I have found that the information is usually true. My great grandmother told my mother who her grandfather was and low and behold, I finally found a death certificate for one of my mother's aunts, not only did this man name himself as her father, he was the informant. I had looked for proof for 7 yrs and all that time it was out there in a death certificate! I realize that there were no death certificates for the time frame that Margaret died, but who knows, proof could be out there in another form. Maybe there's a will out there somewhere, Simon was a wealthy man according to the 1850 Breathitt Co census, $6000 in property, and he owned 94 slaves per the 1850 Breathitt Co slave schedule. Margaret is also my line: Margaret Taulbee & John Dunn Mary Ann "Polly" Dunn & Wm. Wayne Taulbee Margaret Jane Taulbee & John Dudley Bryant James Evan Bryant & Telia Peters Nannie Wayland Bryant & Melvin Chapman James Willis Chapman & Hazel Hudson Louise Chapman Gaskill On Mon, 1 Dec 2003 14:02:55 -0500 "Crystal Sherron" <sherroc@email.uc.edu> writes: > Hi Louise and Bess, > > I would like to jump in here, if I may.

Louise-- What I have been told about DNA testing is that it must be done through the male line. I am not sure why females are excluded, but think that it has something to do with the fact that males have two X chromosomes--I believe--and females have one X and a Y chromonsoe. One of my distant Rose--well fairly distant--has tested as well a a couple more in the Rose family to see which Rose family we belong to. They all proved positive that they went back to John Rose (b. 1761-d. 1843--I think off the top of my head) and beyond to a Rose family in New England. There have to be so many "markers" as they call them, in the DNA that are alike for them to be related. Bess I will have to e-mail cousin Walter--or my cousin, Gail, and find out more about it. I had information about it, but have lost it.
