Then, of course, somebody in the "bloodline" takes a DNA test and the whole discussion is moot. Anybody been keeping up with the problems the Mayflower Association has been struggling with? Seems to me each person has to decide the direction and scope of their research and that becomes their definition for what they are doing. There is room in this great study for all of us.

Ron, you are talking about a man and his wife who, for whatever reason, had no children. You can treat them as you like. The situation being discussed is when there is a child involved........... And, it is not "my defintion". This has always been the criteria. If you wish to accept family social groups for genealogy purposes then by all means do so but if you place individuals in the bloodline when they are not blood descendants then you are doing the descendants a great disservice. Many are spending a great deal of money trying to connect to their ancestors via DNA and if just one individual is placed in the line with no documentation then someone in the future someone is goning to run into a road block very early on and will wonder why. Blood determines an ancestry line and there is no getting around that. And with that I am out of here. If anyone wishes to continue the discussion I will be happy to do so off line.

If my uncle and his wife have no children then there is no bloodliine connection between me, my descendants and my ancestors and my aunt and her family.
