I have no idea how they would take to the idea of the ydna test but I will approach them. Before I do, please could you be more specific about the proof you want that they are direct descendants of Christopher I. As for Viola, as I say in my book, she has got three Robinson homesteads - or sites - rolled into one in such a way that I cannot believe she ever came to England because it is a geographical as well as historical impossibility. All the best, Philippa Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
