To my knowledge we don't have a line with a Thomas of that generation being part of the DNA tests. Help. Have I missed something. Lou Ann

To my knowledge we don't have a line with a Thomas of that generation being part of the DNA tests.  Help.  Have I missed something. Lou Ann ------If no one claims a Thomas as an ancestor, even if there was a Thomas in the paternal line, no one would know. I'll try to put together for you  my circumstantial case with autosomal DNA (cousin relationships). Jack

Lou Ann, I think that you are confusing Y-DNA testing with Autosomal DNA testing. Y-DNA testing works only on the Y chromosome and can tell if two individuals come from the same paternal line. Autosomal DNA testing works on the other 21 pairs of chromosomes (which an individual gets from both parents). From what I understand about the process, you need test results from at least three individuals in order to establish a relationship. One of which must be a close relative; i.e. a sibling or a parent.

I haven't had anything to say in this discussion because my Maryland Lovelace line went to the 96th District in South Carolina but in reading through the discussions it occurred to me that my sister has taken the autosomal DNA test recently and it is posted in the Ancestry data base. My brother's, Charles Alonzo Lovelace, Y- DNA results are posted on the Lovelace DNA project. How do I (or do I) get Sister Mary's on the Lovelace autosomal DNA list?
