Patsy, I think I can answer your question about DNA testing.My mother (maiden name Murphree) has no brothers but does have a male Murphree first cousin who agreed to contribute a DNA sample to the Family Tree DNA Murphy/Murphree Surname study.If you use the following link you will be taken to the Murphy web site where you can see the results so far.

Click on the RESULTS box at the top of the displayed page to be taken to the DNA results.Our results are posted under Daniel in the Haplotype 1 Group.
We were very excited to learn that our Murphree DNA profile matches the profile believed to belong to the 5th-century warlord known as "Niall of the Nine Hostages" who may be the ancestor of one in 12 Irishmen. Niall established a dynasty of powerful chieftains that dominated Ireland for six centuries. To learn more about this connection go to this link:
