Keith Maybe you can help me out. Why are you not tested so I can see if we are related? Why are the Bryant"s not using this tool when other families are finding there history with DNA? Why do men with the Bryant surname pretend they are going to get tested so they can see my information that I paid for and work hard for, then not test? I show my whole genetic history in my signature for other to compare with but others get thanks for showing a series of unrelated census information that it would take a three researches a couple of months to figure out. In the two months I have been on this list only three more Bryant have been tested. How many Bryant men or woman with Bryant brother are on this list. No one but me show there genetic information. Regarding you last question "do we Really have to know?." I think we all need to know the truth about our history. There is a good discussion on NPE's on the DNA list check it out, about 25 post. It looks like 7 genteration ago I change surname's the test are in the work to find out more!!!! http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/GENEALOGY-DNA/2007-04/1177601447 john b. ============================================================= ----Original Message Follows---- From: "John Bryant" <jofbryant@hotmail.com> Keith I would have to write a book to answer all the questions that are in your message. I will give one point at a time a try. Theory behind the Project. The GENEALOGY-DNA-L list has about 2000 to 2500 message a month by mostly Ph. D. working on that. I do not think I can even start on that one with my one year of graduate work in Statistical Analysis and my B.S.M.E. I think each person has there own purpose in getting tested and I support most all of them. John b. that it for now. Taxes are done but it late. ========================================================= John, Hi!, I am getting more confused than ever, please explain the Theory behind the Project, whose DNA are you comparing???, surely not Brian Boru, Count Brienne, or any other Ancient?. or is it to ascertain if all in any Family are truly Descendants of the same Parents, or Grand Parents.??. and also, do we Really have to know?.
