My family has been trying to find the missing Suggs link from NC to AL to MS. We are trying to locate the earlier Suggses who are supposed to be from NC or SC. We've seen both in the census records. We do not know who our gr-gr-grandfather was and only know that his wife was Mary Suggs listed in Itawamba County, MS from around 1830 - 1900s via her descendants. She was born in SC and must have died about 1858. The two oldest children, William Carroll Suggs and Joel Green Suggs, were born in AL, according to census records.
If you are a male carrying the Suggs surname, have you considered being tested for your Y chromome DNA? We have a male Suggs in our family taking this test and will be included in the Suggs surname group. As people add on, any biological matches will be communicated to him with the opportunity to contact that person. He signed a release allowing that to occur. If you are interested, the website is www.familytreeDNA.com, and all is explained in detail. If you first go to the Suggs Surname project, you can buy your YDNA test kit at a cheaper price (I'd recommend the YDNA 25 or 36 marker test for a closer match). There are other services, but I believe this organization has the largest participation.
There hasn't been a posting about our Suggs family in a while on Genforum.com. I figure the only way to get a break in the research is for someone's DNA to connect with another's. If you are a male carring the Suggs surname from any NC,SC, AL or MS Suggses, you might help us with the missing generation, if you take the test.
Any male bearing the Suggs name can take the test. The more there are, the better everyone's chance of making the link between families. Thank you.
