A couple of years ago I blogged about African American Dowells in Wilkes County, NC who descend from Henderson Dowell. Henderson was enslaved by my first cousin - five times removed. He was a young man at the time of the Civil War. <br /><br />I was curious to know if one of my European American Dowells could have fathered Henderson. DNA tests of Henderson's living descendants show most of them are a fairly even mix between African genes and European genes. However, we were finally able to answer my original question. Although as many as a third of African American men in some parts of the South have had at least one European American male in their paternal line, Henderson Dowell was not one of them. Living male Dowell descendants of Henderson come from a male haplogroup that can be traced directly back to Africa. <br /><br />Although ethnicity prediction within a particular corner of Africa is generally as challenging as predicting ethnicity within a particular corner of Europe. This sub-field of population genetics is getting better all the time as our DNA database grow.

So I would expect to see differences. Also the PoBI DNA Project used hospital samples for their European comparisons, no 4 grandparents, 50 mile criterion was applied to participants, unlike Britain.Brian Swannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183639886324839008noreply@blogger.com
