You have to remember that to the general population DNA results mean nothing if we can't have ours checked/matched. My Wilson line may have originated somewhere around Chester Co. PA before coming down to the area of Prince William, Loudoun, Fauquier co's in Virginia.... Some moved on to Union Co. KY and others to White Co. IL in the mid 1800's. All closely matching your areas. While DNA is a great tool for those who have someone to do it....... Those of us who don't are out of luck. What we NEED is for those who have gotten theirs proven..... To come on these lists or in a Wilson (whatever surname) website and post their proven PEOPLE who have matched certain lines. Giving us Haplogroups and numbers mean nothing to us. If you are related to (example) Peter b. 1825 son of John and Mary.... M. Elizabeth Smith with XYZ children and HE is a match for the line of President Woodrow Wilson....... Then that is useful information. Be cause up till then....... Maybe I didn't know I was related to Woodrow Wilson but you and I have spoken and had a distant connection with our two Wilsons and you couldn't even see the connect to the President. Might make one go off in another direction but knowing you have a connection and I connect to you will keep me on the right path.

There is a suggestion in a book that my Wilson has a remarkable resemblance to President Woodrow Wilson and we have an autographed Photograph of him, given long before Xerox much less scanners perhaps 1930 or 40's before me anyway.  So to come close  to President Wilson, would boast my genes to explosion. I am excited to see some activity on the website again.  Thanks for all your input. Surely it won't be long now and I can compare results to yours. With the experience I see,  I know I will have some expert opinions to help me.  You all will know as soon as I know.    This is the only way for us all to come to some conclusions and answers to our questions is DNA testing, which is the best up to now.  Wonder what the future holds!.   Thanks.   Pat --- On Thu, 1/12/12, Janean Ray <jray38@neo.rr.com> wrote: From: Janean Ray <jray38@neo.rr.com> Subject: Re: [WILSON] DNA To: wilson@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, January 12, 2012, 1:36 PM You have to remember that to the general population DNA results mean nothing if we can't have ours checked/matched.
