Hi,

I'm Paul. I'm NOT a DNA match with this person's father, Samuel, but my 1st cousin is. I think that by using DNA, we can get a better picture of this family. I have the DNA of 5 or 6 of my family members. It should be interesting to compare them. I'd love to spend some time on this. McCUNE!!! Paul

Hi Paul!

What company did you do your DNA with? Mine is from Ancestry.com. I am always happy to discuss anything genealogy related, haha.

Hi,

I tested at 23&Me and also at MyHeritage. The issue with the McCunes is that they morph into all sorts of other names: McKown, McCown, McCoun, MacCoon, McEwan, etc. The good news is that I'm seeing a lot of DNA relations that fall into two main groups. I'm still investigating. Frankly, it's like pulling teeth. Paul
