Hi Paula, That is great news that you have the correct data posted. Have you considered DNA testing for one of the Hancock males? Julia In a message dated 1/4/2013 5:34:16 P.M.

Julia, I suggested DNA testing to my "connection", Andrew Hancock. I also told him I would be willing to help with the cost. I did not have a figure to give him, but he could be interested. Could you provide me with the actual costs and the procedure, please.
