Yes, that is the premise that we are using in our DNA Projects.  The
participants must be direct male descendants of the ancestor in question and must
carry the surname. In other words the line cannot be broken by a female.

Take a look at all the surname DNA projects that are being conducted.  Go to
the results and see all the matches that have been made.
