Melba,

Thank you so much for responding and I am sorry about your husband, but by doing this DNA and find out his ancestors; you are keeping his legacy alive. That is what I started to do for my children in find out about the Dobbs family and I am thrilled with all the research found and now the DNA to confirm relatives and ancestry. Either of your sons could, absolutely, take the test since their last name is Dobbs, that is all that is required. If you have any questions, please contact Stan at scbevers@comcast.net and he would love to talk with you or your sons about the test. Again, my husband Bruce was the first to take the DNA test and it is so very simple and in six weeks, we will know if Bruce and one of your sons are connected through DNA and then that would mean Fortunatus is definitely a connection! Again, we still have not found documents to confirm the decendancy of Fortunatus I, but as we continue to put the puzzle together, perhaps we will. If I did not list the site to go to for the test, it is www.ftdna.com/public/dobbs. Your sons would need to take the Y37 test - this gives the best results. Again, please join our discussion group by contacting Stan. We go back and forth with information. We recently have been talking about Bedford County, TN.

So anxious to have one of your sons take the test!!!
