Catchin' up

I'll postpone my report of all my fun and frivolity until we run into another day with nothing DNA to talk about.

There seems to have been a sporadic return of results in dribs and drabs from FTDNA while I was absent for the week.   These partial results have been returned and are now posted to the website:

13030          Y-DNA38-47 Markers          10/23          Jim Berry, #7
22287          Y-DNA38-47 Markers          10/23          Charles Redmon Berry, #27
26075          Y-DNA38-47 Markers          10/23          Walter Michael Berry, #34
67364          Y-DNA38-47 Markers          10/23          Todd Andrew Berry, #72
15097          Y-DNA61-67 Markers           10/24          Jonathan K. Berry, #12
22442          Y-DNA61-67 Markers           10/24          James Dennis Berry, #28
50372          Y-DNA61-67 Markers           10/24          John Edward Berry, #55
67364          Y-DNA61-67 Markers           10/24          Todd Andrew Berry, #72
73459          Y-DNA1-12 Markers              10/24          Kenneth Ray Berry, #80
69574          Y-DNA13-25 Markers           10/26          D. F. Berry, #76

D. F. Berry, #76, is definitely confirmed as a Benton Co. Berry (gold) which raises some interesting possibilities and hopefully some clues as to this line.    D. F. is the second person verified (the other being Rodney Fancher Berry, #81) whose earliest ancestor is of age with the children of Samuel Berry but not previously known as children of his.   The possibility exists that one or both come from a collateral line to Samuel's and share a common ancestor further back up their ancestry.
