Hi Jim
Bummer.No males.Seems to be a recurring refrain of late.
Most lines I reply.
Okay, that just makes it a bit harder, but NOT impossible.
Just have to work on those allied and related family, that
might wind up going back up line, to another allied and related family.
Kind of in circles.
Did seem so on a couple other folks ancestry.
Will keep my eyes and ears open for any thing, body, person on your lines as I plod, stumble along on my own quest for family.

Although this evenings Ancestry quest on channel 10 OPB on the PBS channel, here in Portland, Oregon,By Dr. Henry GATES.
They worked on Condelezza RICE, Samuel L JACKSON, and a Ms SIMMONS.
Seems that DNA testing on a female descendant still may give more clues for origins.
Of course, those MTDNA tests are a lot more expensive, but sounds like for them were very informative.
I sort of did the DNA thing, totally out of EXTREME curiousity.
If our joint paper trail, my cousins and I, had been working on for over 20 years, would match.
Basically, DID NOT.
But did give us,at the time, 3 other lines of MILLS, my surname of interest, too.
The names my MILLS descendant matched, were none I had ever come upon, nor my cousins. Nor any of the place names either that we had any idea to check out.
Now there are 6 otherkits that match each other, pretty much to my MILLS descendant.
Now the NEW research effort is figuring out where they belong on our Greater MILLS tree.
Continued success in your search for family.
