Yes, to be a member of the study one needs to be male, have the surname Disbrow, and have a paper trail of his ancestors. Mary Jo

Please forgive my skepticism, but how can we achieve some level of assurance that any dna material that we furnish to you would be used for, and only for, your stated purpose? How can we be sure that we would not unwittingly be participating in some sort of health insurance company's attempt to compile a database of people's genetic deficiencies for the purpose of exclusion of insurance coverage? Or that our dna material would not be spread about any crime scenes? Or that your request is not some internet scam to extract money from willing dupes?

Folks, It doesn't matter. For those originating from the early colonists, we know that most were "escaping" European classes, oppressed, etc. In many cases, colonists had nothing to loose coming to the colonies because they had lost or had nothing. Many were criminals, banished from their lands of origin, escaping capture or ex-cons. Who we are today, has nothing to do with who provided the DNA... The people from Australia have the some issues, populated with many criminals from the "mother-land." While it is very interesting to track lineage, it should never take precedent over who you are, or who you are trying to become. Jim Rohn once said: "You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself." In fact, it pleasures me to know we may all come from very humble roots. So much more the sweetness of success! I'm still working on it! Best regards to all of my "Disbrow" family! :-) Steven John Disbrow (Born outside Boston Mass and now making my life in Florida). -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Disbro [mailto:thomaspauldisbro@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 11, 2005 1:11 PM To: DISBROW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [DISBROW] Y DNA Disbrow participant Please forgive my skepticism, but how can we achieve some level of assurance that any dna material that we furnish to you would be used for, and only for, your stated purpose?
