I have an interesting situation and need some guidance in how to pursue it. One of the few Kennedy males in my family submitted his DNA for testing at Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, and I recently retrieved his report from GeneTree. Our family research has documented that John Kennedy, born in Belfast, Ireland, 21 May 1801, immigrated to the USA from Belfast to Laurens County SC 10 November 1819. But the single 100% Y-DNA match on GeneTree shows connections to the Pangburn/Pangborn family going back to 1640 in London, Middlesex Co., England. From the chart posted, none of the members of that family tree lived in Ireland nor in South Carolina in the USA. I checked the Kennedy surnames on the SMGF website, and the closest match there is a 30/37% match with a Kenty(Canty) surname of Canada and Wyoming. In thinking about this development, I am considering asking one of the other Kennedy cousins to submit their DNA to FamilyTree DNA. I know there are differences in comparing the results between the two companies, but I think FamilyTree DNA has the better reputation of the genealogy testing companies, and I've had a rather successful project there with one of my husband's family lines. Do you think this is the next step I should take at this point? Or does someone have other recommendations? I am still a bit in shock over this development. Thank you in advance for any advice you might give. Sandy Coulter sandyc@cebridge.net
