Alan or anyone that knows the answer., I was reading your post about the DNA testing and tryed to access that link and it won't open. I have a male cousin that is willing to test but I don't know any of the info to send him. Could you send me an active link. I don't think we are connected to your line but maybe another one out of Ct. or Va.
