A belated word of condolence. We were so grateful for Dorothy's book Jeremiah Youngblood, and to be included in it. I am a retired Archivist and current author. I would be grateful to know what happened to her notes and Archives. Thank you. Dawn Youngblood Dawn.youngblood7@gmail.com

I only found out not long ago about Dorothy's passing and I was so sad. I had tried to call and found out her phone had been shut off so I figured something had happened and one of my other cousin's told me she had passed, for that I was so saddened she was a great lady knew so much about our Youngblood history. I was only able to get the first book but if anyone has a copy of the second one I would be willing to buy it as when I asked Dorothy they were not printing it any longer. I didn't know a third one was in the works. I was wondering what her illness was if someone cares to let me know. I miss talking with her and it had been awhile that I spoke with her as my husband was ill at the time and has now passed on. I see Dorothy passed on the day before my birthday. Bless you Dorothy for all that you did and for being you.

My dad and Dorothy communicated about genealogy since the 1970s... He passed the genealogy bug along to me and Dorothy became my mentor and sounding board authority. We had fun. We never, for certain, found our common ancestor ... our known ancestors lived next door to each other and descendants match 66/67 YDNA genetic markers... We believe Jacob YB c1715-c1791 of Chatham CO, NC or Derrick YB (Anglicized "Theodrick") who owned land next door to a Jacob we will one day be able to confirm as the father of James YB c1740-1792 and Thomas c1745-1822.. Thanks Dorothy and God Bless

Ed & Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm not great with words, but Jeff was my best friend ever, and ever time I would come visit Springfield he would take me to see Dorothy, and we'd all just spend time drinking coffee and shooting the shit. I have nothing but fond memories of your family.

Although we never had the chance to meet, we forged a friendship that resulted in wonderful phone calls, numerous emails, and a few letters over the years. She was the 'go-to' expert on Youngblood genealogy. Having grown up very near where she was born gave us much to talk about. We had laughs over a tee-shirt that I sent her bringing back many memories of "The Road to Ruin" for her. I know she was my cousin but we never figured out exactly how. I will miss you, lovely cousin.

My most heartfelt condolences to Dorothy's family. We exchanged many emails and had many phone conversations about the Youngblood family and DNA. I even got to meet her in person last summer! May she finally be a peace and free from that illness that inflicted her the last year of so of her life. She will be greatly missed.
