Do you have roots in Brown County Indiana

 The music is "Salt Creek". The area where most of my ancestors settled in Indiana is Brown County (it's all of that pretty area between college town, Bloomington, and industrial town, Columbus). Running across the middle of Brown County you find "Salt Creek"! My Marlett, Chafin, Mobley and Roberts lines settled along Salt Creek. The other creek through Brown County is Bean Blossom Creek. My McCoy, Robertson, Richardson, McClary and Young lines settled in along the Bean Blossom in both Brown and Monroe Counties.

While Moore is used to uncovering secrets – she’s helped hundreds of adult adoptees to identify their biological parents – finding someone who might be guilty of murder was shocking. “It is hard to even put into words. It was a very surreal feeling,” she says. Moore, a genetic genealogist known in the US as an expert on the PBS television series Finding Your Roots, runs DNA Detectives, a Facebook group of 100,000-plus members, which helps people find their biological parents. sourse
