Baker DNA Study--Help Wanted!

Are you descendant of Andrew Baker who was born in 1765 and died in 1842 in Laurel County, KY, or of John Baker, born about 1788, died after 1850 in Rockcastle County? If you are, or know someone who is, you could help place this important line within the larger Baker family by taking part in the on-going Baker DNA Study.

The requirements to participate are pretty simple:

1. You must be a male Baker and be as sure as you can be that your line consists of only male Bakers.

2. You must descend from one of suspected Baker sons listed below or one who you can connect as his son.

We're not sure who John Baker's (b. 1788) father was nor where he fits in the Baker genealogy. He lived next to John Renner on lower Skeggs Creek.

If you have any questions about the Baker DNA Study, would like more details on the testing process, or would like to participate, please email me.

Thanks for your time,

Jeff Renner
