Biography

G. Scott Keeney Jr. is a Military Veteran.
Served in the United States Navy soon after high school-when he retired as a Chief Petty Officer
Served 3 campaigns in Vietnam.

Born at Research Hospital, Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri on December 11, 1940 at 6:24 PM. 7 lbs. 3 oz., 20 inches long.

The first house I can remember living in was at 2437 Drury in Kansas City. Funny I can remember that address after these 70 years but not quite sure what I had for lunch yesterday. Can't remember the phone number but I could for quite a while. It was a large two-story White House with a porch on both floors. My parents planned on having lots of kids, thus the space, but they ended up with only me. We had boarders but the only one I really remember is Florence Swope, later Fritts, and her friend who came to Kansas City after high school.

Peter,

I appreciate your offer. I must admit to a complete lack of knowledge of the entire DNA portion of this site (and in general) and have never had any contact with Scotty's immediate family--so I'm not sure if or how I can aid you and your goal.

I am willing to help get Scott's 23andMe results into GEDmatch and his GEDmatch ID added to his DNA Tests page in WikiTree (with his family's permission}. With those results associated with his ancestry it will be possible for his test to continue to benefit his cousins.

Hi Scott, got your message. I'm kind of a standstill on the Kirkpatrick's right now and not sure what to do with them BECAUSE my mom brother who is a Kirkpatrick had the DNA test and we do not match anyone in the Kirkpatrick Surname project but we match Hawkins. I'm starting to believe Edmond Singleton Kirkpatrick was not his fathers son. Its the only instance where the parents just married and she died in childbirth and the Kirkpatrick man raised the child (this happened around 1810). My ancestor was the only child of the twins to survive. No other siblings were had. I guess it could have happened elsewhere but I can't figure out where the breach would have happened. Oddly, these other Hawkins matchers say its pretty much the same story with them. They expected to match.
