Hello, I would like to correct an error in my last message, same subject. The sentence starting with: We also have Y-DNA proof that Christian (No. 4) and Peter (No. 2) were brothers or first cousins. This is not a correct statement as pointed out by John Chandler. I knew that also, however, one tends to get a little excited when DNA test results tend to confirm what you have been led to believe with your conventional research. For example, Christian and Peter are of about the same age, came to NC from PA in the mid 1750's. They lived in close proximity of each other and were buried in the same cemetery. With these items and a host of others, one can easily come to the conclusion that they were brothers or first cousins. Then when you receive Y-DNA results that, "provide you with a 99.9% likelihood that they share a common ancestor", you tend to jump to conclusions. However, Y-DNA alone CAN'T PROVE a family relationship. If your conventional research points you in that direction, then DNA can offer evidence that "is consistent with" or "lends support to" the belief that Christian and Peter were brothers or first cousins. Thanks to John Chandler for the update and correction. I would also like to apologize to the lists for making this mistake with regards to what to expect from DNA testing. Thanks Bob Carpenter
