To all Powell list members: For those of you who haven't tried the DNA testing, I found out that you can RULE OUT a lot of unrelated Powell lines by doing this testing. That, alone, was well worth what I paid to have the testing done. I would encourage everyone who is a Powell to strongly consider doing DNA testing.

Ed: Thanks for your response. Different companies charge different prices and offer different services. Contact Jim Barrett, a frequent contributor to this list, for more information. He can be contacted at parino@flash.net. He is the coordinator for the Powell Y-DNA project, I believe. I, personally, prefer FamilytreeDNA.com but the final choice is yours to make. My tests were about $225 - $235 but some tests are less expensive. I was able to completely rule out 5 other Powell lines I had been researching and, in so doing, probably saved a lot more in research/travel expenses this year than what the tests cost. Where does your Powell line originate from? Mine are from Laurens County and Washington County, Georgia in the 1840 - 1850 time frame. E-mail me privately if you want more information or if you want to exchange information.
