To the List and Bob Durham, MHS,

I have a problem and a question that I have not seen addressed, so far.

I have a missing link to my paternal 3ggrandfather. I have proof of my line
up thru my 2ggrandfather, but am 99.99% sure that this link carries me back
one more generation. I have found the graves of my 3ggrandparents.

My question is this: Is there a legal method of obtaining a Y-chromosome
sample from the remains of this man who died after 1776 (I don't have a death
date). He was a Revolutionary soldier from Conn. I can get a Y-chromosome
sample from my brother, and hopefully this would establish a definite link.

Can anyone on the List help me with this brick wall?
