Hi all,

My husband participated in a DNA study for his family line. I laughed at him at first (it cost him $100), but what it has shown is similarities in blood lines. They don't have DNA from the 1700's, but they have been able to determine which Rutledge's came from the same region in Scotland. We've actually found it to be fairly accurate so far. Guess I won't laugh at him anymore!!!

Pam

My question is how can the DNA prove anything??

Do they have DNA from way back in the 1700??
