The heritage of Orinda and Aaron Davis has been a burning question for at least 3 generations. We may finally have the tools, knowledge and enough curious family members to find the answers. This search is anticipated to include research extending from Vermont to Ohio, then the Republic of Texas and eventually Oklahoma and Western states. Because traditional documentation is scarce, we are turning to dna analysis to help support or refute origin theories.
