Regards Tony Now is when you resume hunting for descendants of those siblings your mother had! If you could locate a living male cousin, directly descended, his DNA would be close. I have now had two male cousins, both in their 80's, send in test kits, one is son of Mom's older brother, one is son of my Dad's brother. On the rest of my lines, will have to go way back and try to come down the generations. Madora ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
