From Harry Barnes

Frederick Barnes told me he was in his book. The reason I was corresponding with Fred is that a few months ago I participated in a Barnes DNA study that showed that he and I have exactly the same Y chromosome. (Harry Barnes' DNA matched Fred's DNA on all 12 segments.) Proof that we have a common male relative somewhere, and by extension we are both related to Thomas Barnes of Hartford and Farmington.

I'm retired as of Nov 1, and along with my sister Pat hope to spend some time working on our family tree. We're new at it, real new, but I can already appreciate the kind of effort it must take to track down some of the material. If you think I can be a resource don't hesitate to ask. I live in Holt, if you're not familiar with the area it's about five miles from where GGG Grandfather Myron originally settled. I also have the Barnes reunion scrapbook which has a lot of birth, death, and marriage note

My Grandfathers name was George, but he went by Ray. The only way I knew his name was something different than Ray was because his mailbox said "G. Ray Barnes". His brother Gerald was known to me, and everyone in the family as "Uncle Lee". He's buried next to Agnes & Louvina and I had to ask who "Gerald" was. My family intended to call me "Lee" to differentiate me from my father. My brother who's four years older liked "Pete" better. My sister didn't know any different, and when I got married the first time (she was 8) she thought the minister was confused, and wanted our father to say "I do".
