What a wonderful idea! For over 50 years now (I started doing genealogy when I was 17, back in 1970) I've been trying to find the parents of my adoptive dad's great-grandfather, Neill Munn [Munn-1609], born 1792 in Fayettevlle, Cumberland, North Carolina and died 20 NOV 1842 in La Grange, Fayette, Republic of Texas. Unfortunately, my adoptive dad died before I was able to give him a DNA test, and he had no living siblings or other close relatives, but a distant cousin of his, also a Neill Munn descendant, tested and learned that our branch of the family has a connection to Alexander McAlpine Munn [Munn-984], something I have always suspected. This Alexander had a son named Neil, but from all indications he was a separate person from my Neill Munn. Other researchers have assigned different parents to my Neill Munn, but with no documentation and I've been unable to find any. Decades ago, a Munn genealogist claimed that Neill's parents were an Alexander Munn and his wife Flora, but I have been unable to verify this or even find any likely candidates, although there were several Alexander Munns around at the right place and time (none with a wife named Flora, though, as far as I know). This seems to be one of those cases in which we're so close to finding the answer, and yet so far away. I think that DNA might provide the answer. It also doesn't help that all the Munn families in the same vicinity followed the Scottish naming tradition and gave their children the same first names. Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
