    3. I am stymied. I know that my ggg grandpa was WILLIAM HOPKINS who married ANN TUCKNISS in 1795. Their son was Robert HOPKINS , born in 1796. NOW< I can't figure out looking at the Quaker records indexed by HInshaw on genealogy.com if ROBERT HOPKINS< JR> is William's dad. Since I am a woman and my DNA would only take me up my maternal family tree and the HOPKINS are on my grandma's paternal side, I think no DNA testing could tie me in to anyone to answer the question. BUT, since I have a locket of hair from Robert HOPKINS, born in 1796 , would this tie me in with HOPKINS tree if one hasDNA registered on it ? Can old hair work for DNA testing?--- EVH
