I agree that a Y Chromosome test between known and recorded male descendants of both families in question may produce some accurate and interesting research. However, I am not aware of who could or should be involved in this test. In my participation in the Jefferson-Hemings DNA Study it was pointed out that "accurate" family genealogy and history MUST be considered. Denial or misintrepetation of this history has resulted in inaccuracy in the above mentioned study. There is another source of DNA of a male Hemings descendant that is vital to adding a second source, HOWEVER they refuse to test this person, William Hemings, and state that they are happy with the original ONE tested person. In DNA research ALL history and science on all possible DNA donors is required.
