[Tommies] Fw: DNA

[James Thompson]

I recently posted a message entitled 'DNA" as my answer to the E-mail to the 
'Tommies' in regard to DNA testing.  I haven't seen any responses to either 
of   the messages, so I assume there is a total lack of interest.  However, 
rather than let it go entirely, I would like to remind everyone on the list 
that  the two questions  that can be answered by DNA testing are:

                1.  Was MilesThompson the son of David Thompson?

                2.  Was John Thompson the son of David Thompson?

      These relationships have been questioned in the past, and a relatively 
simple DNA test program can be designed to answer the questions.  I will 
submit to a DNA test, if others are interested to the point that there is 
support for such a program.  Clearly, the assistance of Scottish descendants 
(there are at least two in America) could establish a line, to be confirmed 
by descendants of David, and a similar test to be performed by descendants 
of Miles Thompson.

          Is there any response?

                    Jim Thompson, in Dallas
