caveat emptor! Who was the person sending this along? The person selling it? How is the DNA test going to show anything different than what the current test is doing? How are the genes and the matches going to show anything different? One of the needs to show relationships is a large database of information to compare. I'd want to see the data that the autosomal chromosomes are a proven method to prove relationships before spending "*$249* (what a deal!). And the testing for testing doesn't even start until the middle of March. Almost sounds too good to be true......... At least the Campbell DNA project shows up front that this is not possible and only shows probabilities.

Well Leonard Family Tree DNA is spearheading the new project. Much as they have done over the last 10 years. Apparently science is not a stagnent thing even in DNA study. FtDNA's lab is the University of Arizona by the way, pioneers in parsing the DNA into new and more exact information. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Leonard Campbell" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 12:25 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Campbell] DNA - another alternative > caveat emptor! > > Who was the person sending this along?

Thank you for the judgment of my character without knowing me Leonard. I don't sell it and don't know anyone who does. Just passing the info along. Next time I'll keep my fingers off the keyboard.

Most of us are like you, Jan, and also believe in "Pay it forward". Please ignore the one person who doesn't!

Leonard: I am a participant in the 23andme Relative Finder program. I currently have 327 people who match me on various of my autosomal markers. 53 of them are comparing genomes with me and I have identified either the ancestral couple we share, or the common surname we share with 6 of them. The relationships run from 3rd cousins to 10th cousins once removed. In the latter case it has confirmed our descent from a couple in VA in the mid 1600s. This also allows me to confirm some other descents from my paper documentation. FTDNA's Family Finder will work in the same way. To get the most benefit from using it you need to know as much as possible of your full ancestry. I suggest that you have at least a 6 generation pedigree chart to exchange with people who match you. One is available here: http://www.misbach.org/pdfcharts/pedigree_chart.pdf that you can download, save, fill out and email to people who match you. If you use genealogy software it can probably create the chart for you. Only you can decide if it is worth the cost, but I have found 23andme's Relative Finder useful and I expect to get even more connections from FTDNA's Family Finder since the FTDNA database is larger and most people in the database are genealogists.
