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. Taxs 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?.
