What do you think? ==================== The answer to your question is basically yes, to test the Love DNA you would have to have an unbroken MALE line. Once you have a female LOVE who marries someone not a LOVE then the test would be for the male's last name. This is of course providing that there have been no non-paternal events, etc. To test your line you need to trace back up til you get a male LOVE and trace their progeny to find a living male-male-male descendant from your line.
