He failed utterly to show me how DNA testing might be useful, but the previous post regarding the Lovelace/ Loveless tests did show how DNA testing can be useful. I note, however, that previous posts regarding the test applying only to a single surname line are the overwhelming reason why DNA tests have little value to most genealogy researchers. My own research involves the descendants of one set of 3ggrandparents, who happen to be from my maternal grandfather's line. Neither Y- nor mt testing would have any pertinence. Most people are generalists, interested in both female and male lines. DNA tests simply have no application to the majority. Elizabeth Richardson "Elizabeth Richardson" <erichktn@worldnet.att.net>
