This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: JaneJK75 Surnames: JACKSON Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.jackson/4268.3.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have a page of links telling about the Jackson DNA Project at FamilyTreeDNA lab. There are several labs that do this but FTDNA has the most Jackson participants and therefore, more chances for a match. And yes, the participants should be a direct male to male descendant. DNA tests can provide absolute evidence of non-relatedness and save years of futile inquiry. This also gives you an opportunity to find others related to your line. Please check out my page where I try to make so much of this information available. My line as had so much success with this that I readily recommend it for brick walls! http://www.jacksonfamilygenealogy.com/pages/dnaindex.htm Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
