Welcome to our Marlow(e) Family Genealogy!

There is a wealth of information that you can find within this website. The information is  believed to be accurate, however, where little or no documentation is available, relationships  and other information is shown on a most probable or "best guess" basis. I would appreciate any  corrections that may substantiate or negate any information shown or any additional information  you may have, and I welcome any photos or other media that you may be willing to share.

I have had my DNA (Y,mtdna, autosomal) done by ftdna, ancestry, and 23andme. Also would suggest  putting info on gedmatch.com. It is free and has a lot of tools. My kit number there is  A056876.

I was born 15 Feb 1949 in Fordsville, Ohio County, Kentucky and basically have 5 generations  (1800 to present) of family from there. Before that my Marlow family was in Maryland about 1650  to 1800. Before that Virginia and England.
