For comparison sake. We have no DNA test results from those families. We can't tell if John of Fairfield is related to those families, etc..until we get a result. We need results from every known line to compare those who have no clue what line they are in. We have a new result right now, no match to anything we have currently in our database, so he still doesn't know what line he is from. Should he be from Edmund of Malden, or one of the groups that we have no results for, then he still doesn't know what line he is from. Also. To see if any of our major lines are related, closer than we know. For instance, a DNA result from another database suggests that John of Fairfield is related to Edmund of Malden, but I have not seen the results for myself yet to know if that is correct, or how close the relationship is, whether it is an exact match, or 36 out of 37 markers, or even perhaps only 34 out of 37, which is a great distance. As you know, we are all related at some point or other. Are you sufficiently confused yet? Love, Susan Looking for Barlows, anywhere....anytime, including all variants and spellings of the name, Barlo, Barloe, Barlowe, Parlar, Barler, Barlar, Barlage, etc... -----Original Message----- From: Kimberly Granholm [mailto:kimberlyg1972@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 10:41 AM To: BARLOW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [BARLOW] DNA testing Susan Very generous offer from annonymous! Question though? If the persons line has already been traced/proven to one of the families you listed, why test? I know that if i could connect my Nathaniel Barlow to ANY of the Barlow lines DNA testing wouldnt be needed.........at the same time DNA testing takes some of the fun out of it ;) Not jelous, just curious!
