Surnames: LEWIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Th.2ADI/2069.1.1.3.1 Message Board Post: Hi Sandra! Yes, as far as I can tell that is the line. It can be traced back to Westmoreland County, PA which is where my brick wall lies. I can match a male descendant of Herman Lewis to my DNA by at least 25 out of 25 markers from the http://www.smgf.org/ database. Based on location and Y-DNA, I am certain that Jonathan is related to me. As far as I can tell, my ancestors were from Ireland/England/Scotland. This is based on the hundreds of DNA matches with other surnames hundreds of years back. Not sure what evidence there is of Jonathan being from Germany. If you know of a male Lewis descendant, I would be happy to sponsor him for the http://LewisSurnameDNAProject.com I am test participant 39432 under Group 10.
