Hi Ron, I would like a little clarification re: DNA. I come from the Goodman's in the Ten. Valley. However, the closest male Goodman relative would be my GGgrandfather. My genealogy has been very difficult, but, I have finally foundproof for the Goodman's. My question is.......I have a son, 48 years old. He is a Kikrpatrick, BUT, would he still not have the Goodman DNA genes??? I don't understand why, due to marriage and the wife's taking of the husband's surname, that should alter the DNA, if generations later, there is a male ??? Sorry....I am tangled up when it comes to a direct line ?
Thanks for your time.
Betty
