Carolyn, If you have a brother, or a BURNS cousin or uncle who shares the same BURNS ancestor, their DNA would be yours also. Females don't have the male Y chromosome (biological fact). We are going to have to depend on finding a BURNS 2nd cousin to know the DNA for my husband's line. Now, all we have to do is find that male (I have several females, and they won't work) Jackie Ashley PACE, Harris County, TX ASHLEY DNA Study: <http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=A34835&special=true> -----Original Message----- From: Norma R Farmilo [mailto:norma@naples.net] Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2004 12:54 PM To: BURNS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BURNS] Burns DNA Hi Carolyn, To the first question, yes, it has to be the male line for this study. The study is just beginning so there are a lot of questions and no answers yet. Go to: http://www.ftdna.com/public/burns The goals there are my goals. They can be added to. Have you checked my website? http://www.angelfire.com/nf/burnscharles/index.html There is a way of testing through the female line. This, too, must be a straight female line. How far back are you in your Burns line. I'll help you if I can.
