DNA - Russell/Greenwood

Two 46 marker paternal DNA tests were performed February 2012 comparing myself and a (Greenwood surnamed) male 3rd great-grandson of William Greenwood (1781-1839). We were identical on 45 of the 46 markers and differed by one on the 46th. The scientific comparision stated that we shared a common ancestor back one to six generations. This is totally consistent with us RUSSELLs being GREENWOODs and proves the fact scienticially/genetically. The 172 year old question has been answered and WILLIAM GREENWOOD RUSSELL (1812-1872) WAS BORN A GREENWOOD TO WILLIAM GREENWOOD (1781-1839) AND ANN JAMES (1782-1854). The Greenwood male with whom I was compared is the second great grandson of George Francis Greenwood (1825-abt 1885), William Greenwood Russell's brother, and this Greenwood cousin lives in Pennsylvania. However, we will probably never know why William assumed the surname RUSSELL nor when. But thanks to science we know are roots are GREENWOOD!
