Oh wow! Would love to take a look at your tree to see if you have any of our County Tyrone surnames. Off the top of my head a few are: Fleming, McKie, Poage, McCombe, Wilson, Lewis. I’m sure there are others.

I’m going to send you a DM if you haven’t got that turned off. We’d be happy to pay for a test.

If you’ve tested your DNA, I would love for you to send me a DM with your GEDmatch kit number. We are identifying the remains of a Revolutionary War casualty who died in 1780. We believe it’s one of the two oldest autosomal DNA profile in the world and the Nickell matches are strong.

Yeah, I’ve seen that. The early colonial Virginia records here for the family spelled it Nichol in land records for about 50 years and then it was consistently your spelling for 200 years. Have you tested your DNA?

Ha! Needed that

Gotta love the internet!!

Stunning

Grrrr

Not necessarily. We were able to extra DNA from a young man's body hidden in a watery marsh for 100 years, found 2017. In decades past, whatever they did to wet remains destroyed the DNA. In 2009 they would have known better, so likely they'll be able to get DNA if they choose to use F/IGG.

So sad. We’ve had several bodies found in the water that have failed DNA extraction. I hope they’re able to get DNA from her.

Wow, that’s crazy

Yeah, always loved buying my basics like T-shirts at target. But I’m done with them for sure.

So true.
