"Absolutely it applies to your line. Despite your family’s surname spelling through the generations, your male family relative’s y-DNA did NOT change accordingly. SO the answer is a resounding “YES” - you should, INDEED, seek out ANY male relatives of yours, who comes from a continual line of BOWEN (or any surname spelling variation thereof), and try to get them to join the BOWEN surname project."
Ah, but I don't have the last name of Bowen, or even a derivative as my last Bowen ancestor, my great grandmother, was a woman.
I'm a bit new to the whole DNA thing, so forgive me as I ask this one more time.
Is y-DNA testing applicable for all those in direct descent of someone with a Bowen surname, regardless of what their surname might be?
Or is it, for the purposes of the Bowen Surname Project, just those in direct descent, who are males, and also have the surname of Bowen?
ps,
As far as I know my lineages dark complexion (in addition to the green eyes) comes from Wales (a bit like Catherine Zeta Jones or Tom Jones even), not from a native American Indian connection. Would the DNA test be able to tell me if that was true or not, in other words do they test for 'Welsh' DNA, if there is such a thing?
