My daddy's family were here before the revolution, were preachers and politicians, slave owners and share croppers, and after the Civil War, educators, professionals, and my dad was a diplomat. Not to say there weren't some scoundrels. Bless their hearts. My mother came from aristocracy in Imperial Russia, and her parents had to flee during the Revolution in 1916. My Ukranaian grandfather was the Captain of a Russian destroyer, and right after my grandmother graduated at the top of her college class (his 2nd marriage) they went with the rest of the White Fleet to Tunisia. So my mother was born in Africa. Of Russian parents. As a French Citizen. In an Arabic country. And then married an American who traveled internationally.
So I am a mutt!! Hooray for hybrid vigor.

Have you or anyone else that you’re aware of conducted any DNA research comparisons between KILLAM or KILLIAN or KILHAM family members to see how closely they’re connected and if they are actually of the same overall family line and whether these surnames are “variants” and what the original, which ancient surname might have been?
I descend from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Killam-583 Caroline May Killam (aka: Carrie Killam) who married a MORTON

i just want to thank you for the wonderfully descriptive notes you posted for Sibylle D'Alsace (b.1105), wife of Thierry II Dietrich Theodoric Flandre. Wonderful to come upon such thoroughness. Thanks again - John DeForest (formerly Riddell)
My name is Connie and I live in Alabama. I am new at this DNA thing, but I'm trying to learn. :) I uploaded my raw DNA data from Ancestry to Gedmatch, and you are one of my matches. I cannot figure out how we are related, and I hope maybe you can. My kit # is LK1269622 on Gedmatch. I hope you are doing well and to hear back from you soon. Connie
But his family are Killian from Montgomery to Auburn and centered around Auburn. Email me at [email address removed]
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz.
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential. You can learn more about joining the community in How To #3 and in the Project FAQ.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus. Review the project pages for special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.

I can find no supporting sources for your recent comments on Nicholas Marsteller. I have birth/christening records for his children attached to his profile. No record was found for the Maria Margaretta who married Johann Daniel Warlick.
Maria Margaretta's father must be a different Nicolaus. Her FindAGrave memorial mentions that her mother is Catherina Seipel. However, it looks like the information on that memorial may not be reliable.
You may want to move those comments to a research notes section on Marie's profile as they do not belong on an unrelated profile,
Thank you.
Cheers, Liz (a George descendant)
