Just a short note to share some info with you. I gave a presentation at the International Conference on DNA and Genealogy, and was interviewed. Here is a segment of the interview, and it focuses on two of my surname projects, the Estes project and the Younger project. There is a written article and if you click on the interview, there's a video portion too. They interviewed several folks, so I'm really surprised I received so much "airtime". I think they liked the aspect of the "Younger gang" - made for good press:) Bobbi http://www.voanews.com/english/2006-11-24-voa49.cfm

Sorry for the double posting. I received a message from the first one that it wasn't posted because it had too many recipients (I had copied some cousins and my quilt group too), but when I went in to delete it, it then said it had been processed. I eventually got both posts. Sorry.

Thank you, Bobbie. I'm a DNA participant and was pleased to have it confirmed that I'm not related to the "Gang"; however, some of my relatives may be disappointed to learn that we are not related. When Cole Younger met with my great grandfather, William G. Younger, after Cole was released from prison and visiting in California, they thought that they might be related, but they could find no common ancestors or other connection.

Francis...I, too, was glad that we were not related to the "gang"...and my g grandfather, James Williamson Younger, along with a couple of his sons, met with Cole after one of Cole's lecture tours, and Cole quipped that they might be "distant cousins"...but could find no real tie to a relationship. And, like you, I have a few relatives that are disappointed. Oh, well.
