I have been asked to help assist a 40-year-old man in CA, perhaps, determine his ancestry (hopefully, his father).
Because this can be such a touchy subject, if you decide to respond, please use this email address: SharonBryant(a)cox.net.
The man has had DNA testing done to 67 markers and there is an overabundance of matches with men in the Clendenin/Glendinning project. For this reason he asked to join our project and I agreed before having all the details.
He is not doing his own research as he is incarcerated in Folsom prison and is working through a volunteer researcher at the Iowa Genealogy Society. He is, supposedly, in for life as a result of the Three Strikes Law. If anyone living in California knows that not to be the case for felony convictions PLEASE let me know immediately.
He was tested through the Adoptees project. The man whose name appears on his birth certificate was located after a year's search and also submitted a sample for testing. They do not match and therefore, are not father & son.
Briefly, he was conceived c 1967; his mother was a waitress living and working in California. She does not remember the father's name but thinks it might have been Doug. The father was involved with race cars near Hawthorne CA.
That is all the information I have at this time. It is totally up to you whether you respond or not based on any information you might have. Remember, contact me off the list at SharonBryant(a)cox.net.

Short History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland click here
The first Presbyterian ministers in Ireland, as we have seen, entered into a
none too promising field, but God blessed their labours, and this resulted, in
1625, in the Six-mile Water Revival, which spread throughout a great part of
Antrim and Down. God's chosen instrument was the godly but eccentric Rev.
James Glendinning, of Oldstone. He preached the terrors of the Law with such force
that the careless were aroused, and many were "prostrated" by a conviction of
sin. Neighbouring ministers came to Glendinning's assistance. Finding that
while he could preach the terrors of the Law he could not expound the Gospel of
the love of God, they reformed the work in harmony with God's redemptive
purpose, and rooted out the excesses and abuses. To build up the people in
knowledge and grace, Rev. John Ridge suggested that a monthly meeting might be set up
in Antrim as a central place. This was agreed to, and Blair, Cunningham,
Hamilton, and others, co-operated. So was formed, in 1626, the Antrim Meeting, at
which ministers and people met on the first Friday of each month. Four sermons
were preached in the morning and afternoon to confirm converts in the Faith,
and the ministers spent the evening discussing and arranging, though in an
informal way, the affairs of the Church. In many ways the Antrim Meeting served
the consultative purposes of a Presbytery.
