Hello, My name is Thomas Lamar Farnum, Jr. As far as my DNA knows, I am still a Lamar as my ggrandfather's name was changed in about 1882-1883 from Peter Lamar (Americus, GA) to Cook Farnum. I have had a DNA test in which I matched a Steve Lamar. From my research I find that his line goes back to John Lamar, the second son of Thomas The Immigrant. My line is from Thomas, Jr., first son of Thomas the Immigrant. We are experiencing a mystery between the Gardners and Garners of North Carolina. It seems that we are matching quite closely in DNA results. We are looking for any information that would indicate a name change or connection that could explain this. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OTHER LAMARS HAVE HAD THEIR DNA TESTED???
