I have had two Thomas persons take the DNA test for the Thomas surname. One of them was a male cousin of mine. His results match several already on there, and I have had connections to previously unknown relatives. The 2nd test was for another Thomas family, not related to mine. So far in 4 years no one has matched him. but we are prepared to wait. Our paper trail here has run out.
