And if needed, one could go back additional generations and so have additional potential male-line descendants to be tested; my issue was just that claimants really should check out that their stories are even feasible using their <i>own</i> DNA when possible rather than bothering others to be tested.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182699090651783909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-24390140995906464592012-08-03T21:19:16.036-04:002012-08-03T21:19:16.036-04:00Albert had no legitimate children so he has no mal...Albert had no legitimate children so he has no male line descendants, at least, legitimately. Timo adopted a son who lived with his family in Palm Beach - this adoption was done when Hermann was an adult. Timo is not his biological father.Marlene Eilers Koenighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984860671065161997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762674434623075554.post-18285815611670663482012-08-03T18:45:31.736-04:002012-08-03T18:45:31.736-04:00There's no shortage of male-line descendants o...There's no shortage of male-line descendants of King Albert of Saxony that would be suitable for testing against the claimant's DNA. Presumably he doesn't need a margrave's permission for testing of individuals in Palm Beach. But before bothering them, it would only be polite to have previously been tested himself, and have been shown not to be a descendant of Tümmler!Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182699090651783909noreply@blogger.com
