Are you a Baker family researcher? If so, I ask you, please, take a DNA test. A larger database is needed, especially for North Kentucky Bakers. So far, in North Kentucky, people who's research indicated that they were descended from the following lines have been tested: 1. The Joshua/Nicholas Baker line from Campbell Co. 2. An unknown Baker family who arrived in Kenton Co. around 1840. 3. The Andrew Baker family of Grant Co. 4. The Edwin Baker family of Boone Co. 5. The John and Mary (Wason) Baker family of Campbell Co. Only one from each line has been tested. We need more. One big surprise was that the Andrew and Edwin people matched, which means that they have a common Baker Ancestor. The unknown Baker family of Kenton matched the Andrew-John Renta Baker line who are mostly in the Madison Co. area. The cost is about a hundred dollars for the basic 12 marker test, and it's simple. They send you a test kit, you swab the inside of your cheek, put the swab in the bottle and mail it back. They run the lab test and give you a series of 12 markers. If your numbers match someone else's numbers, then you have a common Baker ancestor. This is a Y Chromosome test. The Y Chromosome is passed from father to son, so only a male named Baker can take the test. Female researchers often pay for a male Baker relative to take the test for them. Hundreds of Bakers have been tested. I have no financial interest in this, I'm just an avid Baker researcher who has taken the test.
