Is anyone using DNA as a source for relationships in the Germanna tree. I am going to add the following note today to the page for Johannes Thomas and then use DNA as a source for parentage on the specific sublines who have been tested. "Y-DNA tested from direct male lines of John Thomas of Guilford Co., NC and Michael Thomas of Fayette Co., KY confirms that these two were the brothers, Hans/John and Michael Thomas of Culpeper Co., VA., sons of Johannes and Anna Maria Blankenbaker Thoma" Do you think any more info is needed or should this cover it. The most obvious difference between this Thomas line and the others is the haplogroup -- E1b1b1c1a -- the only Thomas men tested who belong to this haplogroup -- and we have 11 lines tested from desecendants of these two men -- still have miles to go but definitely well into our journey. Take care. Marilyn
