Peter, Could you explain to me how the DNA testing works? Does the male being tested have to have the Woolford surname? I guess Im asking if the Woolford line has had to come to him only thru the males of the family ... my grandmother was a Woolford - so I am wondering if my son could be tested. The line goes Theodore > MaryElla > my mother > me > my son. Just wondering so that if its possible then we could help with the testing.
