Hi Richard - Have you had the testing done yet? I sent my test kit back a couple weeks ago, but it is likely to be after Christmas before I get the results back.

I don't know if I can help you specifically resolve your William matter as I'm not certain I'm a "Philadelphia, Ohio and Michigan" Broadhurst or not. I do know that my 3rd great grandfather, William Broadhurst, lived in Cheshire and his American-bound descendants settled in New York state. I hope your appeal, and that of Gloria's earlier, motives many Broadhursts to participate in a DNA study. Maybe new Broadhurst connections can be made as well as finding an answer to your is-this-William-the-same-as-that-William question.

Author: agb36 Surnames: Broadhurst Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.broadhurst/281/mb.ashx Message Board Post: A lot of information can be gleaned about our ancestry from a DNA test for family history purposes. My particular interest is in determining whether the descendants of William Broadhurst of Philadelphia, Ohio and Michigan are connected to the William Broadhurst of Ashby de la Zouch, England. There is a possibility that these two William Broadhursts are actually the same person. After research and recommendations I think the most useful testing organization and specific test are from Family Tree DNA, whose website is: http://www.familytreedna.com There is a lot of information on their website about various tests and their uses. The test we need most urgently is the Paternal Y-chromosome test, which is described in part as: The Paternal DNA, passed from father to son, tests the Y-chromosome, which is only found in males and is useful in verifying common ancestry. A single test allows you to verify: - if 2 males are possibly related, your suggested geographic origin and your paternal deep ancestral ethnic origin We urgently need a male volunteer who is a direct line Broadhurst male descended from the dozens of possibilities in the PA-OH-MI Broadhurst line. We will be able to get the test done for $US99 each [rather than the $149 listed on the site.] That may sound expensive but many of us spend much more than that on data, documents, research, travel, etc., and this has the potential to be the largest single useful piece of information we have available. Additionally it would be useful to have other male Broadhursts around the world were tested to answer the question as to whether any of the other Broadhurst lines are interrelated. That could be critically important to those wish to determine the history of their ancestral tree.. PLEASE HELP US! If you are willing to be tested please let me know so I can arrange for the group discount I have obtained. agbroadhurst@broadhurst.us Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Aloha Art, Yes and as a matter of fact I have just this morning received initial information regarding my mother's side. Nothing yet on Broadhurst which should start coming in on or around 12/21.
