I would like to know more about the testing myself...costs for kits, tests etc. involved. Is there a website where I can direct him to read about all of this? Maybe I can convince my brother to do this for me. I have to date been unsuccessful in tying my James to any Thomas lines. James b. 1781, NC. married Mary West and raised his family in Horry Co., SC. About 1837 my Thomas lines migrated to Pike Co., AL. and remained there until about 1870 or 1880. My direct lines then went on to Arkansas and some of the other brothers/ sisters went to Florida. I would love an opportunity to maybe break through this brick wall. Carrie Thomas-Dominguez Kansas
