There is some new DNA technology available for genealogical research. I recently had my DNA tested and the results show that I am not related to the Col.Henry- Capt.Henry- William Duke-Samuel Duke family from NC that spread throughout the South. This is in conflict with the book I wrote on my family history, and takes me back to square one, where I was at 3 years ago regarding my family history. This technology is available for any member of any family that wants to be tested. However, it is only good for genealogical research in the male DNA which remains constant over time. Thus far, over 20,000 people have been tested worldwide. We have had 12 male Dukes tested in the past 3 months, however, none of them were certain to be from the William Duke (1701-1773) line from Warren Co.NC. We need a male Duke volunteer from this family, with definite lineage back to this ancestor. It only takes one, and it does not involve blood or needles, only a swab of the inside of your mouth. I would like to verify the DNA of this family from the William Duke line of the family. Eventually, we may even be able to verify lineage back to Capt. Henry Duke and Col. Henry. This is not a solicitation, and neither I nor any member of my family will benefit financially from this testing. It is purely for genealogical research. The cost of the test is $100.
