Hi Terry, This sounds so familiar...we were floored when my husband's DNA test came back showing he matched others with the HICKS surname. Also, a descendant of one of his gr-grandfather's brothers tested the same way so we figure whatever happened occurred prior to their birthdates of ca 1830. It is mind blowing though to receive that information. Wanda ----------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:27:49 -0400 > From: "T.J.

Hi Wanda,   Thanks for the reply! Yes, I have to agree with you--this new development caught us completely off guard! Still getting used to the idea of being a "Brewer" and not a "White"!   Take care,   Terry --- On Fri, 6/18/10, Wanda Rabb <wcr1951@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Wanda Rabb <wcr1951@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [LL] New 37-marker "White" surname yDNA > test for Terry To: lovelace@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, June 18, 2010, 12:59 PM Hi Terry, This sounds so familiar...we were floored when my husband's DNA test came back showing he matched others with the HICKS surname.  Also, a descendant of one of his gr-grandfather's brothers tested the same way so we figure whatever happened occurred prior to their birthdates of ca 1830.  It is mind blowing though to receive that information.
