This sure does look interesting. Thought others might also find it so. Leonard

Subject: launch of an interactive castles of Ireland map
Dear Sir/Madam,
An interactive Castles of Ireland map has been launched on the Irish Origenes website: http://www.irishorigenes.com/irish-castle-locations
It features 1,375 castles associated with over 400 Clans and Families.
The Irish Origenes website is completely open access and contains all the resources that one will require to pinpoint ones Irish Genetic Homeland using the results of a Y-DNA 37 marker test.
Regards
Tyrone

Ann, I thought that Mic Barnette had done the DNA profile? If none of the other Col James or Sampson descendants have, then I could be a candidate.
From viewing the dna results in the table, it doesn’t appear that anyone from Alexander has done a DNA profile.
Mic, I think you and I ought to do a profile to see the alignment.
I have taken the 12 marker y-DNA test and it showed an exact match with known descendants of francis McCown and also a descendant of the six brothers. I need to get it upgraded to the 111 marker test.
I am the gg -grandson of col James McCown.
There are many who say Col James is the grandson of an Alexander McCown and I respect their opinions. I have yet to see any solid evidence of who the father of Sampson McCown b south Carolina in 1775 was.
It may be his fathers name was alexander, but I think there were at least 3 different mccowns by that name at that time in s Carolina.
Chris, isn't Todd McCune a descendant of that Alexander? His dna is an exact match with the descendants of francis
Chris, perhaps you and i are thinking of two different Alexanders? When/ where was the man you refer to born?
Sadly, Mic can only test for the Barnette Y-DNA study. He has researched the McCowns for years, but still does not have the surname. SO, Bill, we need you, and would be nice really to have two test from that line, maybe off different brothers. Just my 2 cents worth. Leonard

Do we know how many markers the Geno 2.0 will have?

Todd McCune is a descendant of Rev. Alexander McCown, b. abt 1680/90, Ballymoney Co., Antrim, Ireland. There are many many Alexanders. I don’t think this is the same one. Leonard

That kit is Ashby’s, so probably a different James. I show James Ross McCown as the only one from Alexander. HOWEVER, some members of the group have never posted a family tree chart, so difficult to know how they might fit into the mix. That is an important step too. Leonard

According to what I have, and not sure if Mic shared this with me, or perhaps his Mom did. Col. James McCown is from the same Rev. Alexander McCown, b. ca. 1680/90, Ireland, though his son Alexander, then, Major John McCown, then Sampson, then Col. James. How sure how firm the paper trail and documentation is on this. That is a Mic question . . . Leonard

That's the alexander I was thinking of. Many have said Sampson McCown, who was born in south caroline in 1775 is his grandson by alexander of the six brothers.
Yes this is james Ross McCown in Oklahoma. My kit number is 20664.
Todd matches the descendants of Francis very well. He was the test that told me that the Pennsylvania and Virginia (Francis) were kin.

SORRY, I didn’t intend to reveal Ashby’s kit number. Was not thinking . . . what else is new. Sorry Ashby. Hope you don’t mind. Leonard

Leonard,
A fair number of kit numbers are coming out in this discussion. I hope we are all bound by the deepest oaths of confidentiality. May Saint Comgan strike us all mute (and banned from the internet) if we ever disclose a digit.
[Seriously, we all need to be concerned about identity theft.]
The conversation, however, is getting very interesting.
Ashby
Bill, I think Chris would agree with me that do the test to take your markers on up to 111 or at least part of the way. You might want to wait until they have a sale though. They have done the one for this summer, but usually do one again near Christmas. Not always the best time, because of vacation and Christmas gifts, but probably no good time. I am in 7 surname studies so wait for the sale!
Chris, if you think different, speak up please. Leonard
Thanks Ashby. Hopefully no thieves are amongst us!!! I agree our discussion has been a good one today.
I expected a Gaelic curse . . . : )
