Hello Neil, I've contacted you before about Bonner's in Phila. Daniel Butler Bonner. (previous e-mail address [email protected] no longer in use) Later I found that my Grandfather was Baptized in Wilmington Del. at 3 weeks of age. He at some point moved to Philadelphia, lived in a home owned by his parents and later married the daughter of Richard Hirst, a carpet manufacturer and banker in Philadelphia. Daniel always had a mild Irish accent. Story is that his father came from Ireland some time between the age of 6-10. Good article on the changes in the Bonner name. I had been following the DNA testing on the Butler family, as Daniel's mother was a Butler. Question: Why is DNA testing only on the male descendants? Barbara Roberts Okes
