My distant cousin, Charles Beal, has formed a Beal Project for the Y-DNA testing for Emigrant John Beal of Hingham, MA. My other cousin formed a surname project, and through the Y-DNA did he locate his distant cousins in Spain (markers matched perfectly). Some Europeans take the Y-DNA testing and wait for their American cousins to claim them! See Prof. Dr. Bryan Sykes at www.OxfordAncestry.Com for more information (he is author of "Seven Daughters of Eve"). So I wonder if any male Stowell plans to form "Stowell Project" to take the Y-DNA. I am sure that once male Stowell Americans take the testing, we would know for sure that we will locate Stowell cousins in England, descending from Samuel Stowell's ancestors.
