I don't claim to know much(or anything really) about this, but there's something called the Edmondson DNA Project. It's part of the World Families Net, which seems to promote using DNA matching to verify family lines. Here is how the site describes the Edmondson project it:
The Edmondson DNA Project is collecting & studying DNA data on Edmondson (and all other possible spellings). The purpose of these tests is to distinguish the relationships between the various lines. Most of us realize we have gone as far as possible with traditional methods of research (courthouse records, bible records, etc.). We have lots of theories about how our lines mesh, but we don’t have any proof positive. DNA testing can help solve that problem and could put us on the right track, showing us which lines are related, and which are not.Best I can figure, DNA tests start about $99, and go up from there. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on this, and seeing what data they gather.
