This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Herb_Waldrup Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.russell/5995.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I can't help you on the Russell DNA since I'm not a Russell direct line male. I'm taking part in the Waldrop DNA project and I am very interested in your project results if you have a special mailing list. My Great Grandfather was William Newton Russell of McMinn county Tennessee. We think his father was Thomas Russell and his mother was Lucinda Rogers. There are two living Russell's in our line that could take part but I doubt they would. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
