Please no fictitious names. I have worked that issue. You can list the Grandfathers name as the grand father. That protects the donor and his father. YDNA is not court admissible because chain of custody. Paternity test for legal reason are different. The YDNA called junk DNA for medical and legal purposes.This is to the best of my knowledge example http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.bryant/6452/mb.ashx can any one help this gal?

Everything but the posting name was in my name. Do you know what their objection is? Is it invasion of privacy, concern about medical issues or something else. Perhaps you could copy some material and present it to them and it might allay their concerns. I suppose you could even use a fictitious name as long as your name was the contact. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Abigail Dennison" <abanks@dnet.net> To: <bryant@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 1:04 PM Subject: Re: [BRYANT] DNA testing and my Bryants > Dear Cindy, > Couldn't help but sympathize with your plight.
