Can I join the project if I am not a direct male Bonham descendant? Yes, if you are a Bonham descendant and have DNA results at FTDNA If you have autosomal DNA results at FTDNA, your results can be compared to other Bonham descendants' autosomal DNA results

Also, if anyone out there is a direct female line descendant of Hezekiah Bonham and unidentified 2nd wife's daughter, Temperance Bonham, and has taken or will consider taking a Mitochondrial (Mt) DNA test, we would be extremely interested in having you join the project. A sponsorship for a Mt DNA test would be provided if you can provide a lineage that shows you directly descend from Temperance, ie Temperance's daughter to daughter to daughter, etc down to you

Can I join the Bonham Yahoo discussion group without having joined the Bonham FTDNA project? No, unless you have a Family member who has a member of the project and who approves your joining the Yahoo group

What is the Bonham Yahoo group and why would I want to join? The group is a forum where we can discuss our lineages, compare DNA results and where we have accumlated family tree data and a number of Bonham documents, such as land deed data, etc
