For those interested. Some surnames are getting involved in a DNA program for I think $99.00 for a 12 point test. At the following web site you can look up some of the surnames already tested. The test can give a positive link to a surname "line". I ordered a test kit as I know another Washington Co. Middleton has already been tested. This will give me I hope, a positive link to him, and we can really compare notes. http://www.familytreedna.com Robert Middleton
