There are three volunteers so far to have DNA testing to determine possible relationships in the Broadhurst (and variants, Broaddus, Bradhurst, etc.) known lines. Particularly important, we have not been able to obtain a volunteer from a male descenant in the line of William Broadhurst who married Elizabeth Townsend and had numerous descendants in Ohio and Michigan and still need a volunteer to be tested so that we can determine whether that William Broadhurst is the same William Broadhurst who was born in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, England. The testing is very simple—it involves a swab from the inside of the cheek. There are numerous Broadhurst variants (Broadus, Bradhurst, etc.) whose relationships have not yet been determined but may be connected, and testing is necessary to determine whether and how those variants are related to a particular Broadhurst line. The point is that DNA testing can do more than years of research to help established the extent of interconnections. So we encourage more family historians to proceed with DNA testing.
