Marilynn, Afraid I don't have a male in my family that could take the DNA test but I am very interested in the process. Could you keep us posted if you start getting results on the DNA tests. Would you please tell me which county in NC you are referring to. I have been studying the NC Gardners and would like to know which line connects to a New England Gardner. Do you have any Samuels, James, John or Jesses in your Gardner family?
