I'd say no, IMO! Because of all the endogamy involved. Without some genealogical records, we could never sort it out.

Are you saying that endogamy creates a situation where it will never be possible to seperate the lines? So if in 1720 John Brown married his cousin Jane Smith, could we not test descendants of John Brown's brother and Jane Smith's brother to seperate the lines? -----Original Message----- From: Jim Bartlett <[email protected]> To: genealogy-dna <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Aug 31, 2017 11:13 am Subject: Re: [DNA] Every person project I'd say no, IMO!
