From your Ancestry ThruLines (DNA-confirmed): Myrtis Louise's daughter Sandra Gill (b. 1943) and Ward Forman's son Curtis David Tucker (1961–2017) are now placed. Living DNA cousins descending from the eleven include Amber Livingston, Harley Welch, Tiffany White, Farrell Alves, and Norman Tucker.
Still open: Barry Wade Tucker (Irondale, AL; b. ~1971) is not in your ThruLines — he likely hasn’t DNA-tested — so seating him precisely still needs Barry himself. The Howard Joseph and Sara Amanda branches surfaced no DNA matches yet; their children would come from cousins’ trees or the family directly.
