Hi Knola & Listers May I answer your question with another question? I think we all hit brickwalls fairly regularly, right?

Hi Bob, I went through a company called FamilyTreeDNA. Their web-site is http://www.familytreedna.com/ Not only do they do DNA analysis, but also have surname projects & matching to a world-wide database. You can contact me off-list if you want more details. Regards from Malcolm. Member of Grigg DNA Project http://grigg.mygenerations.org/
