Email from Fannie Lindner: My father's first name
was Marion as is my brother's first name. The problem is we do
not know his last name. Barnes was the last name of one
of the persons, a relative who reared him among others he
also lived with. He also once went by Harris
since he lived also with Harrises, who were grandparents. The homes he lived in were in Hart County
GA. My parents were married in Hartwell GA in 1930.
Marion born in 1907 in Hartwell, Hart Co.
GA, was reared by a Barnes woman and later by his maternal
grandparents, the Harris family. He never knew what his real
surname was. He died without us knowing anything about
him. My brother, also named Marion, did the DNA testing thru
Family Tree DNA and the results have come in. We match the markers
for the Shirleys in E3b haplogroup. I have talked to Bennett
Greenspan of FTDNA and he says we also have the NULL marker which
runs in this group. We are SHIRLEYS, and at last we know the
surname of our father.
1. Marion Barnes-Shirley, b.
