Your son will have his father's DNA. Whatever his last name is is the DNA that he will
carry as it goes in a straight and unchanged line from the father back. The surprise comes
when there was an adoption or an illigitmate birth somewhere. In one case with the DNA
company we used the person did not match his grandfather's line at all. However, he
did match match his grandmother's neighbors line 100%. Oops!
The whole idea about the DNA testing is to see which line the father comes from. That is
why you have to get a male relative who is from the line you want tested. If Bird was the
father's name, that is what his DNA line will test.

Just testing the waters on this subject. Is there any interest in DNA testing
to prove, disprove relationships. Other lines that I work on are getting very
involved in this new science for genealogy.
How valuable would it be to have my son tested when we don't know for sure
who the ancestor is?
