My apologies if this has been previously posted, but what is the approximate cost to do the DNA testing? Bob Brooke Clovis, CA

It's between $100 and $200 each person. Considering how much some people spend on their genealogy, I would think it would be worth it. If some Davenport male wants to head it up, I would certainly make an effort to find the descendants of my Grandmother's brother and pay for one of them to be tested. -----Original Message----- From: Robert D.Brooke [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 3:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [DAVENPORT] DNA Testing My apologies if this has been previously posted, but what is the approximate cost to do the DNA testing?
