Brookshire/Brookshier DNA Project
I have started a Brookshire/Brookshier DNA Project. Most Brookshire/Brookshier families trace back to either William or Mannering Brookshire who lived in North Carolina. Per Glenna Brookshire Beck's book, "The Brookshire Family," we all trace back to an immigrant ancestor, James Brookshaw. The goal of this study is to prove we all trace back to a common Brookshaw/Brookshire/Brookshier ancestor. We are looking for those men who carry the surname Brookshire/Brookshier to test from various Brookshire/Brookshier families to participant in this program. The cost is $150 for the DNA test which consists of 2 Q-tip combs & 2 vials of liquid. You just brush each cheek with one of the Q-tip combs, put them in the vial of liquid and mail back to the lab. If you have any questions and /or you are interested in participating please contact me. One way to spread the cost of the test is to have several family members kick in.
