Hi thermo1984.

Yes, a number of the HAM(M/E) lines of England, Normandy, and Germany have been traced back to "Adam" in the DNA Project.

No DNA participants from France or Netherlands to date.

You do not mention which castle in your note, there were several.

Nice video, have you been able to trace Ham back before France and England? Ham appears to be High German, and after investigating Ham castle it was founded by van hamme which would link it to the low german (Dutch) speaking area of Westphalia and Hamm, Hamme and Hahm. Would like to know your thoughts, thanks.
