Anyone interested in a Coate, Coates, Coats DNA group?

It's my understanding that this only works with the male line i.e. those males with a Coate, Coates, Coats surname etc...however, females with known male Coate, Coates, Coats would then also have the benefit of the results...did that make sense..<g>...

Some people would not have joined if their names were listed and I respect their privacy. I promised that I would not broadcast their names and I keep my promises. > 2. The donor names won't help. The list of ancestors will and that's on the website. > 3. If you want to correspond with a donor email me. it's listed on the DNA site and I will forward your email to the donor. It's up to them to contact you. (they all have so far) > 4. Some people are leary of a few who write and say send me all you have. You know those few who do that. > 5. Yes, my line of Stricklands were very private and did not want anyone knowing their business. Some are leary (naturally) that their DNA is out there. Not much chance of any problem but it's a natural concern. > > Once again, knowing the donors name serves no purpose. Please read the Strickland DNA site and click on the charts and Ancestor's list.
