To all Copeland Reserchers: I just want to share my recent experiences relative to the DNA testing that is available on the internet today....This testing may be considered expensive to most persons, but after spending a lot of time and effort searching for the blanks in my "Copeland Tree", hiring genealogists and researchers.....this DNA program has proved to me that one can trace their heritage in a manner that is almost foolproof.......it DOES NOT give you exact differences between generations, but it certainly points you in a direction that MAY have been hidden or unknown to you in all of your past research. In some recent experiences, it has openend "Pandora's" box for several persons working on their pedigree. This experience can be most provocative to accept. I realize this posting will cause a great deal of consternation. prudypad1@aol.com
