Y-DNA studies can help validation genealogical research based on historicalrecords. This is particularly useful when there are gaps or a paucity ofrecords, as is the case with Kentucky and Tennessee Burklow lines. Similarambiguities exist for the Bartlow lines: http://www.burklowfamily.com/bartlow/GBartHst.html.

This project will address these lines by seeking informativepatrilineal descendants whose ancestry converges at different points along theancestry tree. Matches will help confirm the most recent common ancestoridentified by historical research.
