Hello Keith, I think what the DNA will prove if you are a Bryant or OBrian, Briant and so on. As for my Family my Grandfather is out first generation and all that follows are Bryant's, My Gr Grandfather "God Rest His Sole" Was a kind man and took my grandfather to Raise at age 9, he and his wife had 3 other sons, and 1 daughter, One son died at 21 unmarried, another son never married and the third son had just girls, therefore my grandfather carried on the Bryant name, there are about 200 or more of us, so this DNA will sort us from you. Eleanor Bryant Prieskorn A Bryant for over 70 years. -----Original Message----- From: bryant-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bryant-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John Bryant Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 12:44 PM To: bryant@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BRYANT] Y- DNA for comparison Bryant's Keith wrote John, Hi!, I am getting more confused than ever, please explain the Theory behind the Project, whose DNA are you comparing???, surely not Brian Boru, Count Brienne, or any other Ancient?. or is it to ascertain if all in any Family are truly Descendants of the same Parents, or Grand Parents.??. and also, do we Really have to know?.
