Oh, boy!! I am sorry for my in-action on this site. No excuse, just could not get to it!!
Well, it has been busy. Last year, 2 new hips! Ya, 1 replacement went bad, so ANOTHER one was put in! It made for an extreemly long summer. Then, in October, my sister Becky's death. It just doesn't seem possible.
As of Jan.1, I am vice-president of the Clan MacGillivray Society in the U.S.A. Remember, my mom was a MacGillivray! It has been fun participating in the various Scottish events around the mid-west. Yes, I do have a kilt in the family tartan.
Now, for Hyde stuff. The DNA study is really starting to pay off. So far, there are 2 more family groups that line up with our [ Hiram ] DNA, and another one, the first results look very good. All these Hyde's came from beginnings in Kentucky and Indiana. I now believe that Ansels first wife, Hannah, died in childbirth with Hiram, and he was left with other family or friends when Ansel got remarried. It will take a bunch of research to line this out, but with new family members to aid in the search, it may be a little easier.
If the additional DNA test comes back the same as the others, we will have found Hiram's father, ANSEL!! Without going into a lot of confusing scientific terms, Jay Hydes numbers match the others PERFECTLY. It seems as though mine mutated a bit. Oh, well, thats me!!
I will update all when the rest of our " hopefull " new cousins results are complete. Keep your fingers crossed!
Check out some new photos- good stuff!!
Love to all!

Well, gang, the tests are in. Jay matched Jim 36 out of 37. I believe that this Ansel of Indiana is OURS!! I will post a photo of his stone that we took last weekend in Perry County, Indiana. Ansel had 12 children by who we believe was his second wife, Mary Miller. This is like starting all over again! So much research to do, but thats what we love!
Don't forget, the reunion is October 3, at Prospect Baptist Church, Niangua, Mo. See ya'll there!!
Luv to all,
Dan
