Zaday! Greetings! I am looking for cousins who will volunteer to do a simple, free, painless cheek swab test to analyze their DNA. They must be male volunteers carrying the name Cooper, Blevins, Ramey, Carter, Bond, Perry, or Davis. Family Tree DNA in Austin, Texas at http://www.familytreedna.com/ will conduct the tests, which will form part of the Melungeon DNA study undertaken by Brent Kennedy, a professor at the University of Virginia at Wise. There must be no "hanky panky" in that line or adopted children in your ancestry back to the relevant surname. In other words it must be father-son-father-son legitimately all the way down. Please contact me privately off list if you qualify and are interested. You may pass this message along to others. (If someone has the email address of Ron Blevins of West Point, Va., please send him a copy.) Thank you very much. Honor to your lodge, Donald Panther-Yates Assistant Professor of Public Relations Georgia Southern University P.O. Box 8091 Statesboro, GA 30460 tel.
