Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,218 Send Message	A DNA test should show Edith as she is a direct ancestor but not to Thomas as he assumed not to be. So a DNA test would not be relevant to Thomas with Edith, but to say Thomas and Edith can be confusing if you are struggling to get one’s head around dna matched,
