thanks for proposed merge of Clark-61699 and Clark-2716. I agree with this, but I can't work out if it's been done already, or needs my action - do say - May well be my mistake, I'm fairly new at Wikitree, though I love a merge when I see one. ... and three cheers for Colorado, I did geology at CSM in Golden Co. many years ago - Separate question: 'Clarke' spelling is more English, 'Clark' more Scot/Irish - what do you think? All the best, Christopher Clark-61620 (Canterbury, Kent, UK)
I think the Samuel Clark profiles have been merged. I'm nowhere near as familiar with Golden as I am with Colorado Springs (where I spent most of my early childhood and moved back to in 2018). As far as the surname spelling, I'm pretty certain it has been Clarke on my line since a young Arthur Clarke (parentage still not known) crossed the Atlantic as a probable indentured servant in the mid 1630s, although a lot of his descendants dropped the "e" over the years. I think "Clarke" is more Scot/Irish and "Clark" is more English. I wonder if your Clark line has something in common with my Clarke line- a (probably genetic) ability to migrate often and to not spend their entire lives in one community. My upgraded Y-DNA test a few years ago indicated my line of Clarkes was haplogroup R-DF41, a Scottish and Irish haplogroup downstream from R-L21.
