Fulenwider - Goodpasture Connection - let test it
Hi Folks,
There is a hypothesis floating around the the name Goodpasture is a loose translation to English of the name Vollenweider, from which Fulenwider must be derived.There is a way to test to see if Goodpasture is a translation of Fulenwider/Vollenweider. All we need to do is have several male descendents with the Goodpasture and Vollenweider surname take Y-Chromosome DNA tests (cost about $200/participant - $170 if more than 6 people take it at the same time). This will give us the answer, either they will have the same DNA pattern or they will not! The test can be done by a group at the University of Oxford, England, Oxford Ancestors. Their web site is oxfordancestors.com
Lets get this rolling and see if this connection is really true.
