Y-DNA Bower - Smith Connection?
Has any male descendant on this website taken the Y-DNA test?If so, I'd like to see if there is a connection between yourself and my brother.
Recently, there was a very close connection between a Bowers and my brother, a Smith.This person lives in Yorkshire, England and my family lives in the U.S.What makes this very interesting is my g-g-grandfather, George W. Smith, b. 1821 had a very strong accent and stated many times that his surname was "Schmidt".He lived in Fentress, Co., TN until his death in 1864/65.
Anyway, my brother's Y-DNA was tested on the 37 marker test.The Bowers person who matched him, matched him on 35 of 37 markers - the two he didn't match him on were only one off and these markers were markers that change often.If any of you are male descendants of the Bauerschmidt surname (or any variation of it) and would be willing to take the Y-DNA test, please contact me at: [email protected]
Thank you!Ron Smith
