This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: DebraNowell Surnames: Dunbar Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.dunbar/1117/mb.ashx Message Board Post: If you're not convinced yet as to how Y-DNA testing will help you, please read an excellent article appearing in a recent AARP Newsletter titled "Are You My Cousin?" http://www.aarpmagazine.org/family/genetic_genealogy.html ** Also, be sure to put a Y-DNA Test Kit on your Christmas list this year to GIVE or RECEIVE. Test kits make excellent Birthday gifts too!!! Who Can Test? To participate you must be a male who was born with the surname Dunbar or believe that your direct male ancestry leads to a Dunbar (name change, adoption etc.) with no female ancestors in direct line (father, grandfather, g-grandfather, etc.) If you are a non-Dunbar male or female researcher you'll need to find a male cousin, uncle, nephew, etc. who carries the Dunbar surname and you can participate through that person.
