Hi Joe, Have you found a living male descendant of your Allison ancestors who HAS the ALLISON surname? If so, you may want to contact him and tell him about the Allison/Ellison DNA Project and encourage him to become a participant. We now have over 70 participants in our DNA Project and the DNA test results could show that your male ALLISON relative matches one or more current particpants. When a match occurs, then the participants share their genealogical research and learn more about their roots. I know that the cost of the test is sometimes a detriment to a potential participant deciding to order the 25 or 37 marker tests , which are the most useful tests in proving a genetic relationship to another male with the same surname. What some family lines are doing is recruiting other cousins to help pay for the test, which encourages the male who HAS the ALLISON or ELLISON surname to order a DNA test kit. If you want more info about costs, how to order a DNA test kit , etc., please contact me privately.
