I recently had a DNA test completed and in my opinion it confirmed my blood line to Sorrels. Wow, this is exciting, I believe I fit in the same tree as above, my grandfathers name was Edmond Newsome Lindsey born 1884. There is a chance that his blood line Grandma and Grandpa is John W. Sorrels and Matilda Butcher. Help is needed to find my true blood line.
