Note: 4/16/12. 23&Me match with William Alfred Simmons, Jr. Hi Lorraine, Thank you for comparing genomes and information with my husband Bill. We were excited to find you matched on chromosome 1 from 240000000-247000000 for a 8 cM segment, chromosome 5 from 38000000-51000000 for a 5.3 cM segment and chromosome 17 from 58000000-64000000 for a 9 cM segment. Bill shares the Gurganus and possibly Everett surnames with you and has ancestors or collateral relatives in all of the counties in NC you list. Do you have a online tree I could view? Have you uploaded your results to GedMatch.com? I noticed that Bill has several matches on chromosome 1 who overlap your match or are slightly less. You are his first match on the specific segments of chromosome 5 and 17. I look forward to hearing from you again.
