Hi Steve, In this line (below), testing the latest generation (King) would probably not show a link to Perkins, am I right? Thomas Perkins (b, 1834, d. 1881) m.

Lynda: Correct. It would show the King Y DNA if you test a King male for Y DNA. If you test mtDNA it will lead to the mother of Mildred Horton. Do a pedigree chart to see the relationships. 2 Donald King 1Robert King 6 Leon Brownell 3 Lois Brownell 7 Mildred Horton So, for Y DNA it is 1, 2, 4, 8, etc., and for mtDNA it is 1, 3, 7, 15, etc. SCPerkins On 4/10/06, L King <l.king42@verizon.net> wrote: > Hi Steve, > > In this line (below), testing the latest generation (King) would probably > not show a link to Perkins, am I right? > > Thomas Perkins (b, 1834, d. 1881) m.
