Hi Wade,

I just returned from Newark and read your message. I will be glad to take the 
test and provide a DNA string for Absalom's line. I think it will be 
important for others to contibute DNA from the same ancestor in order to 
verify a positive link. As you have mentioned, there are several questions 
that DNA could answer and with incredable accuracy. DNA testing could also 
help establish a link to what country the Hooper line came from prior to 
1700. This would allow more reserach to be focused in a known area of 
relation. As the price for DNA testing continues to drop and new advancements 
are made, who knows where this will lead genealogist.

The only question I have at this time, can a DNA string be established from 
hair? The reason I am asking is that one of my cousins has a lock of hair 
from a Hooper baby that was born dead back in the 1800's and has been passed 
down through the family. Others may have similar items.

Ron
