DNA Test
If you are a male descendent, or know of a male descendent of the following branch of the family, please provide, or have them provide results of Y-DNA testing. I recommend that you utilize FamilyTreeDNA. They can be contacted at: http://www.familytreedna.com/http://www.familytreedna.com/ . I would recommend that you take at least a 37 marker test. The 37 would be adequate, but the 67 marker test would help differentiate with greater detail. Your assistance would be much appreciated.
I apologize before offending anyone. The following information is not intended as fact, but is only provided as an indicator of how someone might fit into the family. With apologies also to any other legitimate researchers of the family, I would advise anyone to check with me or Dave Gauntt regarding documentation related to the family.
