I already have a BAILES in the project as well as BEAL,BEALS,BEALE, BEALL, BELL surnames! If you come across a living male descendant of the BALES surname anywhere in the world, please point them in my direction to participate in the project. I am a volunteer and unfortunately, do not have a sponsor for my project! The cost is quite reasonable for testing, I have negotiated one of the lowest prices in the world for DNA testing in my project. My DNA project website is: http://www.hometown,aol.com/bealsurnamedna/index.html and I can be reached at : BealsurnameDNA@aol.com Chuck Beal
