Brownie, I for one want to thank you and your family. The core or my data, I'm sure came from your uncle Dr. Harold Younger, and was key element in the book "Armistead Younger" published by the Stone County Historical Society. It is very difficult to trace back through our history especially when we decided to go to war with each other and in the process destroy family data via burning of court houses, churches, etc. You have asked if I would get my DNA processed and I have responded what's the point? My son is adopted, thats a fact, but to me he is as much my son as if I were his sperm father. I believe, many people in the past accepted another into the family and gave them their family name. We all came from, Adam and then from Noah. At the same time I think it is important to know and understand your heritage. It would be nice to understand what happened to Susanna Younger, Alexander's daughter, however, present data does not give us any conclusive evidence. My wife and I recently purchased a Travel Trailer, maybe we will be able to go to Essex County again, lovely place, and do some more research or even other areas of Virginia. Please keep up the brain storming. Bob

And a BIG thanks to you too Bob for all the great info you brought back, typed and posted from your last research trip. This list has very helpful members with lots of valuable information to share. Thanks Bob, Brownie, Wilma,& Wilma. (I love it when Wilma Hillman decides to get in on the action. She really makes me think). And there've been some interesting posts from others as well.
