JEFF, Are you saying that you would always have to have a father-son
relationship down from the Chapman ancestor? So my son could not be tested
because his father is a Wallace?

Getting a direct line- previously researched base line is important.
This allows a comparison of assumed lines, and allows a possibility of
seeing if a mutation occured and when. 11/12 markers or 23-24/25 marker
matches are significant in the last 20 generations.
Basically if you have 24 or 25 markers match with a participant, and you
can show surname connectivity by research, tthe results will validate a
direct line.
Non-paternal events can "throw" the results, such as adoptions, out of
wedlock events, cross family raising of children, etc.
In my case my father's father is unknown, however my test results
indicated a direct match with a WALKER family, I still do not know who
my grandfather is, BUT he MAY be a Walker.
