Juvanne, please keep me in the loop on the DNA...I can not help but believe that this will be my husband's line as well...My husband does not carry the Martin surname so he can not test....but I believe that he connects with the Martin/Williams line in Bedford Co. ...Marsha in WV Juvanne Martin wrote: >Randy, I am pretty sure that somewhere along the line, you are related to my husband, Terry Martin, but we have not yet uncovered his great-great-grandparents.

Your husband could check his DNA regardless of what surname he carries. They will tell you the other people that he matches no matter what the surnames are. But Family Tree DNA will not place him in a surname project. You have to request directly to the surname project that you would like to be involved in. ----- Original Message ----- From: "marsha moses" <mosesm@earthlink.net> To: "Juvanne Martin" <juvanne@earthlink.net>; <martin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 9:21 PM Subject: Re: [MARTIN] Martin & Williams in Bedford Co., VA > Juvanne, please keep me in the loop on the DNA...I can not help but > believe that this will be my husband's line as well...My husband does > not carry the Martin surname so he can not test....but I believe that he > connects with the Martin/Williams line in Bedford Co. ...Marsha in WV > > Juvanne Martin wrote: > >>Randy, I am pretty sure that somewhere along the line, you are related to >>my husband, Terry Martin, but we have not yet uncovered his >>great-great-grandparents.
