DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Susan by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Susan:
Thanks Susan for the kind words! IMHO profiles that display why we believe what we believe are best and easiest to determine whether or not they are duplicates.
I posted a question, received an immediate response from Susan, by the way of private mail, that was much appreciated. Came here to give a shout out only to find she is in company, by the way of a post from Liz Shifflett. Not surprised to find Wonderful Wiki's Working Together. Thanks again Wiki on
Biography for Thomas Gaines Black was beautifully done! I do question the Voter Registration in Georgia in 1867. He had already moved on to Alabama and Texas. And there were other Thomas G. Black's in GA. Wish I had better computer skills to properly enter sources. Thank you!
used what was in the citation / source - since this was in the Reconstruction Era post-Civil War, he had to have taken the Oath of Allegiance in order to be a registered voter. My mother's grandfather, CW vet, Texas, delayed his oath until 1929, think it was, and his version "I believe in being on the winning side" was accepted and he got his pension from the State of Texas given to CW Vets ...
What was the oath of allegiance after the Civil War?
The Oath reads in part: I, [name], do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the union of states thereunder; and that I will, in like manner, abide and faithfully support all acts of Congress passed during ...

"Georgia, Reconstruction Registration Oath Books, 1867-1868," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGLZ-18S3 : 17 March 2018), Thomas G Black, 31 Jul 1867; citing Voter Registration, Georgia, United States, Georgia Department of Archives and History, Morrow, Georgia; FHL microfilm.
I'll look again at residence see if there's something for 1860. 1850 and 1870 Census are on the profile.
WHY is his father listed as Connally? You should write up an explanation for this and put it in the Biography section - we are strongly encouraged to substantiate or support any statement - there appears to be no reason other than that Thomas' mother apparently had two children out of wedlock, and was later married to a Mr Wilson (children credited) and this leads to the question about where Mr Connally came from and who is he -- would need a record of marriage or at least a census showing Mr Connally and Thomas' mother living together
Hi! You asked about DNA acronyms/abbreviations... The Abbreviations & Acronyms page has one - MRCA - with a link to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:DNA_Project_Resources_Page#MRCA ... you might be able to see a lot of other terms there. I struggle with understanding DNA myself - what I do understand now is thanks to the patience & kind tutoring of DNA Project folks.
