Hi Mary: I see your surname is Barnett. Whether by marriage or birth, you should have some male Barnett relatives. I am the administrator of the Barnett Surname DNA Project (I get no compensation for doing so. I am simply an active Barnett researcher). Currently there are a number of us Barnetts who have taken DNA tests to see scientifically how we relate or do not relate to one another. You can visit our website at http://micbarnette.bravepages.com to see what is happening with our group. You can also visit the DNA testing company's website as well at http://www.familytreeDNA.com DNA testing will not tell you who your Barnett ancestor is by name but it will tell you if the person who took the test in your family relates to others in the test group. It will also give you a several generation spread of a likely timeframe as to when the relationship may have occurred. We have had several surprising results in the testing. As a woman you can not take the test as women do not inherit their father's Y-Chromosome. You can, however, sponsor a male Barnett in your family either by encouraging him to take the test or by paying or having his test paid for by others of your family. After visiting the websites, please feel free to contact me for more information. Most of us in the test group have taken the 25 marker test. FTDNA has just recently come out with a 37 marker test that several of us will probably upgrade to which will make our information more reliable as to how closely (generation wise) we relate.
