Whoa, there. That was an example. I happen to come from the Davis Davenport line so it is the one I am most familiar with. No slight was intended to anyone else. Please do not ascribe something to me I did not say. I assume we are all trying to get to the truth about our ancestors. I don't know the details of everyone's previous relationships vis-a-vis their documentary research, theories of relationships, etc. I'd like to see us use all the resources available to answer the question of our ancestry. Y DNA seems to be one method not yet used by the Davenport family which I think we should consider applying to our research. Regards, Steven C.

We all work very hard, but yet, you want to credit Doc for that? This board is called "DAVENPORT-L", which to me, is indicative of ALL Davenport's. But why is it that everyone assumes Doc is responsible for all that happens here? There is more going on than Doc's work! I tried to get a Davenport board here for us northerners, rootsweb said we already had one (here). I think we should get the recognition we deserve & not be put under Doc! If everyone believes there's no connection between southern & northern-- then why is the research all being clumped together and credit given to Doc alone? As far as the Y DNA testing goes, I think it's a great idea. I've listened to the arguments from both sides and believe it's time to come to the bottom of this confusion.

I was told the women can not be tested in DNA. I have question Since you and I (if were a man) are related through the Davies Davenport line and through another line (Tunnell). Here is my question. Would our DNA being that we come from Davenport line and Tunnell . Our DNA together would not work? Would this screw up the testing??? Our two lines did not marry.

Janet: A male can only be tested for his direct male surname line. So the Y DNA test can only test males since we have the Y DNA. A male or female can be tested for the direct maternal line, the Mt DNA. Since the surname of the mother's line changes with each generation, it is more difficult to use for genealogy, but it could be used to see if the direct female line descendants of a number of women who are thought to be sisters, all have the same MtDNA and therefore might be descended from sisters. So testing either of us will not tell us anything about our Davenport or Tunnel lines since males do not pass their Mt DNA to their children. Only females pass on Mt DNA. Hope that helps. later, Steven On 16 Jan 2003 at 12:05, Janet wrote: Date forwarded: Thu, 16 Jan 2003 11:04:59 -0700 Date sent: Thu, 16 Jan 2003 12:05:42 -0600 Forwarded by: [email protected] From: Janet <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [DAVENPORT] Excuse Me?
