Keith Yes you will remember Claudia MacArthur-Hume had provided some genealogy information to us back in the 90's I believe and I think a good portion of it is on the CHASE database site... There have been a lot of changes in the site, such as the "search" and opening pages...I guess this moved to a new server <?> As to the DNA I think it is more or less an indicator of being on the correct "track" as it were in one's research, but it is not an end in itself. I think the object is still to "prove" your own lineage as accurately as possible, but the DNA matching provides a search area.
