Extremely helpful! Thank you! In preparing & delivering these kinds of talks -- and listening to the questions -- I'm ever more aware that until you take a DNA test, much of what is discussed in workshop, webinars, and on these boards is completely Greek. Then it's almost overwhelming trying to figure out what the results mean, depending on the various test companies' "results" and "tools". I have tremendous admiration and respect for all who are giving of their time and talents to help educate us all in this very exciting, though pioneering, field for genealogists. ISOGG is a great resource, that's for sure. Thanks, again.
