Introduction / My RootsTech Presentation

[Andre Kearns]

Hi, pleasure to meet everyone. 

I am a genealogist and recently discovered though research and  Y-DNA testing that I am a Ewing descendant. Last week I had fun presenting at RootsTech Connect, so I am sharing with you my conference talk, Helping African Americans trace to Slaveholding Ancestors using DNA. You can watch it here.  https://youtu.be/mlnSU5UM-nQ

My ancestor William M. Ewing of Long Creek, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, makes an inadvertent appearance in my presentation.  I show an 1870 Mecklenburg County, NC record for my third great grandfather Henry Johnston and you see William M. Ewing living next door to him.  Henry's daughter Augusta is my great-great grandmother and married my great-great grandfather Gus Kerns the son of William M. Ewing.

Enjoy and I look forward to engaging with and learning from all of you about Ewing family history and genealogy.

Best,

Andre Kearns

Andre, I'm really impressed by your research and by your presentation. You have shown us in a very concrete way how to use DNA results and conventional genealogical research to reinforce and illuminate each other. Many of us have done the DNA testing and then just sat back waiting for a relative to emerge who has done the research already. Not you. You just rolled up your sleeves and got busy. I hope you will become active in the EFA. We could learn a lot from you.

Thank you for your posting.
