I would invite my gr-grandfather Miles Allen Turner who stood 6' 8" and wore size 16 shoes, his parents Peter Turner and Frances Barrentine, Peter's Melungeon father James Turner and his African-American mother Anna Mitchell.

I surely would love to be at that Thanksgiving dinner with a DNA swab kit to collect some cheek samples from Miles Allen Turner before he started wolfing down that Turkey. It would be very very interesting to see what the haplogroup on him would be! If you know of any male Turners directly descended from Miles Allen Turner or brothers or cousins, would you get one of them to join the Turner DNA Project to document that line? Gail R.
