Personally, I can only prove to Russell. Now if we could prove that Russell was really William Russell and then we have that document saying he was Peter's son we'd still only prove the line to Peter. If there was a line that could prove ancestry to Thomas I know I'd be willing to chip in a few bucks to the Lawson DNA study to help defray some of the costs for a volunteer to be tested. I'm thinking of eventually upgrading my test to a 37 marker test, although I was waiting until there were more participants who matched mine and Jack's test who is a descendant of Emanuel (he has the 37 marker test).
