    1. [HANCOCK] Hancock DNA
    2. Becky Mitton
    3. I have not looked at this line for a while, and recently looked at the Hancock DNA project and saw that our ancestor Hector Hancock from Cartaret County, NC was listed as from Austria because of his Haplogroup. Have any others of his "family" been DNA tested and added to the project? In talking to a DNA expert recently, she suggested because his results are so different from other Hancock's, that we try to find another descendant of his to test, and maybe also from a brother's descendants and compare them. Maybe we could get DNA samples from Nathanial, Henry, Joseph, William or John's lines, and maybe also from a what is thought to be a brother of Hector's-Dearham's, Captain William Hancock's or James' lines. Any thoughts on this? If he doesn't match up to any others, it could be that he was adopted. I would be interested to see what other researchers think about this. Thanks, Becky
