I (a female) have proven my line to William Chase. Would a DNA test prove anything else that would be helpful??? -----Original Message----- From: chase-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:chase-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Richard Chase Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 2:59 PM To: chase@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CHASE] DNA test Keith -- The Y chromosome dna does tend to mutate over a number of generations, that is, the value of an individual allele (or marker) can change between two generations.

In both the Aquila and William lines there are very close matches for individuals who are 10 generations removed from the known common ancestor.

Jean -- all that an mtDNA test would do is show your mother's/maternal g.mother's/etc. dna. Would provide no linkage to the William (male Y-chromosome)records. -----Original Message----- From: chase-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:chase-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jean Belzer Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 6:31 PM To: chase@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CHASE] DNA test I (a female) have proven my line to William Chase.

Thanks for replying. I just thought if it would help I sure would. By the way, I proved to William for the Quaker Society. Thanks again.
