I an registered DNA/ see http://www.familytreedna.com/contact.html If Bob would get tested he could be a good subject for his family line. If we were all matched we would know for sure with some scientific support. It's easy to do.

Hi Dwight, In researching the DNA testing site it appears that the site is being managed by a non Coker for financial gain and because they are enamored with the DNA possbilities. They appear to be searching for a Coker to assume control of the DNA site. Does anyone have the time to further research DNA testing and to consider heading this site or starting a new one?
