Fitting words, but if you go back to a generation where there were sons and follow each son down to see if they had sons and follow those, you may find a living male that is related to you. Another good way that I have found on some of my surnames is to go to Genforum.com or the Genconnect boards at Rootsweb.com and find the Hancock surname board. Do a search that includes your ancestor's name and key words to filter out the others and if you see a researcher who has left a message as working on your Hancock line and they are named Hancock, send them a message about the DNA Project.
