the Smith DNA Project would like to confirm a DNA match. If your last name is Smith and you are a male OR you have a male Smith brother, uncle, father, cousin, etc from Elijah, consider joining the project with a yDNA kit OR if you have done an autosomal test and have this line, please join; we do have another tester who purports to be from Elijah through son Nathaniel that we would like to compare against.
