Hi All; I have been on the list a little over a year and have only lurked. I recently found a site (Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation) that will send a kit to collect a DNA sample to put into a genealogical database. I have only skimmed the site and read tiny portions but it looks interesting. I sent for the kit (you can find it under "participate." If anyone else has more time to really read all this and thinks it is something we can all use, please do so and let us know. I will let you know what the kit is like if there is an interest here. Here is the site: http://smgf.org/home.html Sandra Lechner (surnames: Johnson, Smith, Senn, Burch) I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
