The only useful people to test are males named Davenport/Devenport. Females do not have the Y and males descended from any female Davenport don't have the Davenport Y. For example, the only use that could be made of my Y would be comparing to others named BANKS. This of course doesn't take into account possible cases of illegitimate offspring being falsely labelled. Some of those will come up whenever such studies are done. -----Original Message----- From: Janet [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DAVENPORT] Excuse Me? 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.
