Hi Ann, I simply utilized the genealogies provided by the two DNA testing participants. I have no knowledge of these lines' names, dates, or place-names. You'll have to take up any discussion regarding those two genealogies with the two participants of the DNA testing. I'll BCC this to W. H. Taylor, as I have his e-mail address. Perhaps he will respond directly to your questions. Unfortunately, the e-mail address provided to me for C. R. Taylor is no longer unavailable (perhaps he moved - certainly he's at least changed his e-mail address). Oh, BTW - Mary Ann Hudson sounds a whole lot like Ann Hudson. Also, there's the simple fact that their scientifically determined Y-STR DYS values of their Y-chromosomes do match. The particulars of their genealogies aren't quite so important to me as is the fact that they've got the matching results. These two men strongly -appear- to be genetically related. And there are those paper genealogical records posted by both of them that point to shared ancestries. I believe that the latter two points represent what most of us are looking for - connections. I myself can barely get my late mother's Taylor line back to circa 1800 before the trail turns into the ashes of two courthouse fires (others in her various lineages I can take back to the 1734 Swiss Purysburg [choose your spelling] settlement on the Savannah River in colonial South Carolina or even to the Plymouth settlement of Massachusetts - which is to say, we've all got brick walls and we've also mostly got someone famous or infamous in our long lineages) Dale ________________________________ Ann Blomquist wrote: > Hello, > > I have some questions about the two Taylor families which you posted. > > In "W.H.
