As you may have noticed, I have been responding to anyone who posts on the BET.com discussion board that accompanies the article. If you are African-American, see the information at africanancestry.com. Dr. Rick Kittles of Howard U. tests for paternal and maternal DNA for about $300. If you are of European descent, Dr. Bryan Sykes at Oxford ancestors is doing maternal tests for $180. Others will be offering the DNA tests soon. =snip= Good luck, and I will forward any new information about new DNA labs as I find it. Take care, Pearl Duncan >
