I am a co-administrator of the Nelson FTDNA project.If a direct male Nelson-surnamed descendant of Edward, i.e. from either
1.WILLIAM NELSON (md Dulcina 'Jancy/Jincy') Crews)
3.MOSES NELSON (md Rebecca Cummings)
7.JOHN NELSON (md Dicy Unk)
is willing to be DNA tested, and who has some reasonable proof or at least evidence of descent, I'll pay the cost of FTDNA test for the first volunteer.
