Hello BROWNs: This DNA business has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life! My brother Blake Brown volunteered his DNA for me, and so far we have not connected with ANYONE, and in fact, my brother is in the "unique group" because of it. He is haplogroup R1a; kit number is 41860. I would LOVE to meet a BROWN with an R1a halplogroup designation. Also, don't forget The Brown Society at brownsociety.org where you can find my brother's test results. And then, of course, I just had to do my mtDNA test, didn't I? Well, those results show only migration patterns, ethnic & geographic origins. I can't imagine ever connecting with a female relative based on the mtDNA results. Good luck, everyone!

Now that more labs are starting to do the testing we need a place to be able to compare the results. >  >FamilyTreeDNA has over 300 Browns in their Brown project. I haven't been able to find out how many Ancestry.com has and have no idea about the other labs. Results are no good if you can't compare them. FamilyTreeDNA.com also has a site called www.YSearch.org where anyone from any lab can upload their results and search by matching results or by name. You don't have to have tested at their lab and it is free. I would like to see if we can either get everyone on the list who has tested to upload their results to either that site or Ancestry.com (though I think you have to be a subscriber there, I am) or let us know if there is another site that can be viewed for comparison with their DNA. >  >For those who have tested it is then obvious if a line is yours or not.
