While that is true, it could very well be an adopted or foster child, but from what I understand, when you share 25 matching markers, but not the surname, it does not mean as close a relationship as when names are the same. I don't understand that at all. And if that is the case, why post those names at all. I wish I had a little better grasp on the DNA thing...but scientific matter is over my head. If someone could explain it to me in everyday language, I might do better with it. What would you like for me to post? The DNA results? I can do that. I will try to contact IOW and see if he will email yall...but can't guarantee that. Love, Susan At 11:02 AM 3/10/2004, you wrote: >Hi Susan, > Thanks for all your help with this.
