    3. Ann, I think I have a set that I can send you. I could also send you mine and my parents, but my dad is at FTDNA and my mom is at 23andMe, so I don't know if that would work.

    3. Ann, I could send you my son and both his parents, or me and both mine, all done at 23andMe if you wish? In both cases, especially my son's, there are matches with him that can't be pinned down to either parent.

    3. Thanks for the offer. I would need raw data for the matching party as well, preferably someone has also tested a father and mother.
