I'm a descendant of James Wilson b. 04-02-1791 Lancaster Co. PA and his son John Harmon Wilson b. 1825 Ross Co. OH. I notice on this Rootsweb site that no one seems to have explored DNA testing as a promising technology for genealogical research. Only males can contribute useful DNA samples and therefore I'm ineligible. I hope that some WILSON males will participate and share the results on this Rootsweb site.

Actually the Wilson project at http://home.earthlink.net/~wilsondna/index.htm has been up for a couple of years, and I have seen it discussed on the Wilson rootsweb list from time to time (Search the archives at http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl . I just looked and there are 64 participants, of which 53 have returned kits. You can find the surname project on the website familytreedna by searching on Wilson. -----Original Message----- From: wbm [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 10:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WILSON-L] DNA Genealogy I'm a descendant of James Wilson b. 04-02-1791 Lancaster Co.
