I have been wanting to find a Shelton in our line, and think I can do this ------ and get him to do the DNA. Would the 37 marker (now $119) be a good one to do. (My sister in law and I would be paying for this.) Therefore, would someone advise about which one to go for. Thanks. The Sheltons I search are in Kentucky -- Owen / Gallatin / Carroll counties. William Hayden Shelton, whose father I believe to be Frederick, was born 1839 in Owen Co. I have the line solid coming forward......................BUT can't get behind them. Would hope the DNA might give light as to whom we connect before 1839. Phyllis Raker

Has anyone done DNA testing for the Shelton's in Muhlenberg & Todd Counties in Kentucky? Thanks in advance, Linda in Kentucky
