Well Dave, it took three separate DNA tests, but it looks like we are finally official cousins. I've uploaded the 37 marker explanation of distances and have a couple of small highlights to make in the notes a little later. The 12 marker test shows a family connection at one distance. The 25 marker test makes a connection at two distances ... and the 37 marker test ups this to three distances. The flip side of the test connections is the number of generations that we have from us back to a Most Recent Common Ancestor. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 11:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dover] First 37 Marker DNA Results Hi Dennis, Glad to see the results are in.
