Don't get mad, if I unsubscribe you by mistake. Just resubscribe or send me an email and I'll do it for you. A note on DNA testing. Lem Guthrie and I have a 24 out of 25 match. This means we have a close common ancestor. Since we had already predicted who this would be with our respective paperwork we are 99.9 % sure where the common ancestor is. In addition another Guthrie is identified as belonging to the same line. I would like to again suggest that a y-dna test can be very helpful. I think some may be concerned that DNA information about a relation might become available to someone who might use it in some manner not authorized. FTDNA promises this will not happen. However the the DNA tests that are done by FTDNA contain no health predictions. There is nothing there that could be used by an insurance company for instance. It would have to be retested before there could be any possibility of harm. So a third party would have to know beforehand which DNA to test and then get the material and retest it. Pretty long shot.
