    Started July 2019,
    Citation Text: 1) Original -E-mail:- 21Jul2019: Comments: Hi Brian, It was recommended I join this site to help verify likely biological ancestry with a Dowling family. See my question here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/874349/any-known-y-dna-test-takers-for-robert-dowling-line; Are you aware of any male ancestors of that Robert Dowling (b 1730) who have taken a Y-DNA test? Thanks, Mike Wells. Mike Wells. email address.

    2) Original -E-mail:- 23Jul2019: Short answer is through atDNA triangulation on Ancestry.com and Y-111 test on FTDNA.
    - I initially discovered that my Y-DNA STRs do not match the corresponding "Wells" line on the FTDNA "Wells" surname project. My (now deceased) paternal grandfather matches my STRs. On FTDNA, my Y-DNA STRs match many "Downing/Downen/Downey" men with GD 5-6 (late 17th century). SNP is downstream of R-M222 (Irish).
    - A paternal great uncle and I have several atDNA matches with my 3rd paternal great-grandmother Rebecca Jane Alexander's line (Alexander), within expected cM range.
    - A paternal aunt and I atDNA-match a descendant of Benjamin Wells, in expected cM range for the half-cousin.
    - Several Wells relatives and I atDNA-match several descendants of James Dowling - within expected cM range.
    - James Dowling was the same age as Rebecca Jane Alexander and they lived in close proximity.
    I have not found any James Dowling direct male descendants willing to take a Y DNA test (nor have I found any who have taken an atDNA test). Mike
    Reply: Hi Mike, Looking at the WikiTree. Just in passing, Henry A Wells appears to marry Emily J Clarkson on 4 Nov 1896 in Camden, Camden, New Jersey, USA (FamilySearch has a transcript).
    Can you explain the history for me please as I cannot see all the records needed at the moment. Specifically, how Henry Alexander Wells is the son of James Dowling and not Benjamin Morrison Wells.
    Thanks, Brian Thomas Dowling (1955-)
