EDWARD, thanks. I will try and find out what the dna tests show on surnames with out of wedlock child = my goodness, this is NOT the first one we have, WE just happen to know/think it. HOW do they show up on our SELLERS charts? probably a misnumber? will advise. SHE had THREE kids before she married CUTSINGER and they were ALL named SELLERS? or perhaps you mentioned a TAYLOR name? memory. DID you check the 1880 census FOR that surname? county minutes many times list /discuss these problems = esp if unwed mother. IN may have these county records = some are on film = agll or heritage or check the MARTIN ? CO,IN board for a look up. NOW HENRY SELLERS 1788 PA. WE/YOU have a list of his kids names and ages from 1811? HOW did we get these? a will? WHERE did any child marry and go to? WHERE are ANY of them in 1850? MIGHT help us link these families. WE need this info. ALSO 1812 WAR OF PA , do we have? need. THANKS for sharing and understanding what we need. ED'S PAGE http://showcase.netins.net/web/sellerfamily/edwardsell.htm and there should be colored links on there to pages you have sent info. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: els5993@aol.com [mailto:els5993@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2003 10:18 AM To: SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SELLERS] SELLERS dna update I would love to be a part of the DNA Testing, but as I understand it, one must be of direct Male Descendant.
