Hello, I'm just reading through..............still looking for my Daniel Cook (from England to Maryland.) You are correct. The names do repeat. I suppose that I have given up on him for awhile. Maybe a streak of luck will come along one day. However, when I saw DNA, I thought of this in relation to another line. I am attempting to connect myself to a Davis gggrandmother. Can someone answer this? Does the DNA work if a female does it in an effort to connect back to another female. For instance, the gggrandmother? I just do not believe that I have heard or read of a female doing the test..... ...But, I am rather new in this research. RobbiePurser@aol.com
