Hmmmmmmm, I was trying to convey the idea that the DNA proved that these were the same people who were in Culpeper Co., VA and who got the land patent in 1726. I thought the ideas that they were brothers was covered in the will of Michael Kaifer. Must be a semantics issue. Right idea -- worded incorrectly -- open for misinterpretation Anyone got any suggestions for stating what I am trying to convey. Take care.

I believe that it does prove that they are closely related, but other best evidence available must also be used to conclude that they are brothers.
