Abernathy DNA Project Goals
Note: This is a work in progress. As soon as a phase is completed for each uniquely identified Branch or Branch, we move to the next phase: recruitment of one or more additional descendants from other known sons of that Branch.
Astericks preceeding a couple named as Branch Originators indicate one documented descendant tested for each asterick shown.
