Since I posted the message to the List regarding a concern that the List was not working, my test message was successfully returned to my inbox and many of you have responded back that you also received the test message. I have received no emails from subscribers that they have not been able to post to the List. I believe that the concern arose simply because there have been an unusually low number of postings in recent days. Maybe someone can think of a new topic to start an exchange. Roy

I recently took or had administered the DNA testing from Ancestry.com My father's family came from Glogowatz, Hungary and can be traced through Neupanat; Sankta Anna and Sanktmarton. I have traced one line back to Au am Rhein. And my Reichert ancestors from Glogowatz -- family I have contacted recently said the Reichert's came from Alsace. My mother's family came from Bohemia or the Czech Republic. I have traced both paternal and maternal lines back to the early 1700's. This is the result of my tests: 37% Eastern Europe which would include Czech Republic, Slovakia; Hungary, Romania 23% Western Europe which includes Germany, France and Austria 23% Scandinavian My paternal aunt tested differently reflecting the paternal side of my family. 32% Western Europe 16% Italy; Greece 15% Great Britain 15% Eastern Europes 8% Scandinavian And traces of other places. I realize my results are different from my paternal aunt (due to my DNA from Mom's side). Has anyone else from the Banat tested in a similar manner and would they be willing to share the results. Obviously I don't mind my results being public on the list; if someone would rather share privately that would be fine also. I was just wondering if anyone else reading this list tested similar to me. Susan
