Thanks Eva Yes, my brother has taken the WEST DNA test. We have found 5 other sets of West who match our DNA (25 out of 26 markers). So we have made some progress. We are still looking for other relatives. We match James West b. 1798, SC move to Wayne County, TN, then to MS where he died. Other West are from LA, AR, TX and of course, NC. Alice WEST Ferguson ..
