Just a note to tell you that we now have 19 participants in the DNA project, and several others have expressed an interest in joining. Also, I have updated the project web page at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/bowlesdna.html and included some useful links to other pages that contain valuable information about DNA testing. Again, a reminder, if you wish to participate in the project, go to the web page at http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=W26816&special=true to sign up. Also, if you are unable to participate because of finances, we have several volunteers who are willing to help that way. Just contact me privately and we will make the necessary arrangements. If the lab doesn't get backed up, we should have several new sets of results within the next three weeks. Can you tell I'm excited?
