OK, if there are six male volunteers, I will set up the project and act as the administrator. As soon as I get all the information from the DNA site which I sent previously, I'll let you all know. It is $99 for a male to be tested and those males have to be direct descendants of Downing males. So far, the following people have volunteered: Clyde Downing Daniel Downing Maria's Uncle (name unknown) Anthony Downing Ray Downing Would the afore mentioned gentlemen please confirm that you are on board with this? If there is one more male willing to participate, let me know and I'll proceed. Remember that the more participants there are, the greater the chances for finding matches.

I think I have two male Downings that would do it and we just need four more. If you do it and we get three from the Downing list then we can get this thing going. Maria
