Plus using the science of DNA (not his someone else's) to say what ethnic makeup Lincoln is means someone has an agenda. Genealogists don't do that, scientists don't do that.

That leaves???.

BTW Why are you taking personally a critique of someone else's shoddy journalism? If Lincoln's DNA or in a cousins line shows a link then they have an avenue to possibly pursue. Until then there are only rumors that started in the 1850's and we try not to put much stock in rumors on DU even old ones.
