Beaulah, I have been offline for awhile and are trying to catch up. But doesn't it have to either an unbroken male line of female line for DNA? This is so interesting to me, but it was my Dads paternal grandmother who was a Reeves from Nebraska (I think it was Nebraska). Anna Eliza Reeves. Her father was Edward Reeves b 1818 orig from England. His wife was Sarah Puncher/Punchard, born in England around 1825. But, Anna Eliza had a sister name "Silona Reeves (Noni for short) and I wanted to throw this name out there in case anyone recognizes this family. But anyway, I think this makes me too far removed to make DNA testing even work. But its sure fun to read about the matches of others. I just enjoy Reeves family mysteries being solved vicariously! lol Dena
