FUNDING HELP (see GENERAL FUND link): We have donations from some wonderful Hudson family members to either pay for or help defray DNA testing costs for some specific lines. If you are a Hudson male that can prove/document direct descendancy from a Hudson of interest PLEASE take advantage of these tremendous offers!   For details, contact the Project Administrator @ jhhgene@gmail.com  .

**In 2014 the National Society of the Daughters of the Revolution (DAR) began accepting paternal Y-DNA results as as part of the source documentation research package to help prove heritage to a  Revolutionary War Patriot. The Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) also accept DNA for linear proof.
