Jeff asked if there was nothing he could in the way in DNA, what he could contribute. As Michael points out, the tests are NOT free. One thing anyone can do regardless of taking the test is to donate money to the fund that Family Tree DNA puts up for you to contribute to. I would suggest getting the 67 marker test and not just the basic one. That basic test will not give enough matches to make any conclusions and, in other words, a waste of time and money.
