Here are my 67 marker Y-DNA Haplogroup J2a4b J-M67 alleles
Betty, I will send an invite to you to see my Ancestry Tree. I will need an e-mail address to send it to you. You can send it private to my messages if you want to.
Something else interesting is that my great grandfather's name is George Mc Dunlap. The only document that I have of him is his marriage license and bond in Hopkins Co., Ky. He signed his name George Mc Dunlap. Also, he said that he was born in Illinois. Do you have Illinois connections with this family?

Hi Betty, since my Grandfather George John William Dunlap was born in Hopkins Co., Ky and there were Dunlaps in both Hopkins Co., and Christian Co., whose genealogy line goes back to Lancaster County SC. I've been researching this collateral line. There is one researcher for this line that did the YDNA test and the results were not a match with my J2a4b. So, that probably rules out that particular Dunlap line for me, but it is interesting that I have a match from Scotland and his family name is Ferguson.
I'm glad to read that even though our names are different it is nice to know of another J2 from Scotland and that they were in Christian Co., Kentucky.
I wonder how close our test results are? :)
I was reading that some of the Dunlap families joined up with the Ferguson Clan to avoid religious persecution. I haven't proven that was my family, but it would explain to me why there is a match with someone else with a different family name.

Our family name is McKinney. My 95 year old father took the Y-DNA 67 test. We were totally surprised to find we were only McKinney's in the J2 halogroup. Have found couple of matches to the name Kinney. My paper trail goes back to Christian County, Kentucky and then to Lancaster County, South Carolina, in the 1700's. Research points to Scot-Irish as they seem to be the majority who settled in Lancaster County at that time. Would love to talk to anyone who would have further information about this group.
Hi All
I am J2b2 from Poland, my father was an adopted. According to my FTDNA group administrator my father could have a German ancestor. He was born in Gluszyca 1948-05-23. He never found any informations about his paternal line. I want to know more about J2B2 in Germany. thank you
My brother did the Y-DNA 67 test for our Dunlap surname. The deep clade test results came back J2a4b, M67+, L27+, L26+ and shorthand for J-M67.
My Dunlap's were from Scotland and I am beginning to think that there were not many J2's in Scotland.
My paper trail goes back to 1884 to a marriage document of my great grandfather who was married in Hopkins Co., Kentucky. The license said that he was born in Illinois in 1863. He died before 1900 because his widow was remarried on the 1900 census with my grandfather listed as 14 years old.
It sure would be nice if I could find a match that would help me with the brick wall that I have here. I have not been able to find him on the 1870 or 1880 census. I'm thinking there is a good possibility that his father could have been killed in the Civil War.
Any suggestions for me in my search would be appreciated.
Carolyn
