To: Chase Group Today we had one of the test takers, who matches the William Chase descendants, upgrade from 12 to 37 markers. As we build a base at 37 markers we might start seeing a difference in the results. If this happens, it could show a difference for the children of William or at some generation. We won't know until we get some results back. This is also an idea for the Aquila descendants. The basic 12 marker test shows if you have a common ancestor with those with proven research. For some, this might be all you need. For those of you who are still trying to prove your research, this is an additional tool. (Upgrades: 12 to 25 or 25-37 = $49; 12 to 37 =$99) We also have, I think, our first Chase female doing the mtDNA test ($129). I admit, I know very little about the mtDNA test and how to read the results. I guess we will learn together. Charlie Scott

Where could I get the mtDNA done...any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi,Charlie, This gets more and more intriguing!. Am I right in thinking that her connections are all on the female Chase line as I understand that is the only way this test can be relavent. Also about 18 months ago I was looking at some articles on DNA testing and read that from 6 generations back , using the "male" test you could not rely on the data due to minor mutations. Do you or anyone on the list know anything about this?

Keith -- The Y chromosome dna does tend to mutate over a number of generations, that is, the value of an individual allele (or marker) can change between two generations. But I think that the test results that we have for the CHASE individuals who have taken the 25 marker test rather clearly show that 6 generations is not a limit for valid comparisons. In both the Aquila and William lines there are very close matches for individuals who are 10 generations removed from the known common ancestor.
