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.

How taking a home genetics test could help catch a murderer

Specialists are using public-access DNA databases to track down violent criminals such as the notorious Golden State Killer. But the technique raises a host of legal and ethical questions DNA sleuth CeCe Moore recalls the moment that the pieces came together, in May, in the hunt for her first suspected killer – the man now thought to be responsible for the brutal 1987 murders of a young Canadian couple on a trip to Seattle. 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

The Impact of Genetic Genealogy in Solving Cold Cases

 In recent years, the innovative field of genetic genealogy has revolutionized the approach to solving some of the most challenging cold cases in criminal history. Two notable cases highlight the significant role this technology plays in bringing long-awaited justice and closure. A Breakthrough in a 1999 Kidnapping and Rape Case In 2020, a cold-case team in Escondido re-examined a 1999 kidnapping and rape case, utilizing genetic genealogy. The pivotal moment came when a relative of Mark Thompson Hunter, the assailant, uploaded DNA to a public database accessible by law enforcement. This breakthrough led to Hunter's arrest and subsequent conviction. Aged 66 at the time of his arrest, he was sentenced to 130 years to life, exemplifying how genetic genealogy can offer resolution even decades after a crime.
