You are right,Ken. The many branches of Lewis families in VA is mind-boggling.
That's why I'm wondering if a DNA project has been started for the Lewis
surname. I belong to the Presley family association and we are moved forward
with the testing and the branches are now beginning to sort themselves out.
Modern technology is truly helping solve some of these age-old mysteries. We
are using the Family Tree DNA out of Houston, TX
