I support the DNA testing if that can be a useful tool for research, though I asked Aaron about Hill DNA testing and in emails to me he replied that since I wasnt a Hill it was for only, I also was told that by one of the testing labs noted here in the discussion ... yet my great grandfather was a Hill and my grandmother a Hill, so I really dont understand the exclusionary basis of this testing.

Scotty: Because they fail to tell you it is only good for through your father, your father's father's, Your father's father's father's, and so on and so... It doesn't work on your Mother's side nor your Father's Mother's side. If they did most people wouldn't spring for the test. If you took the test it would only be good for your HARTIGAN line through your father, through his father.......Etc.

If your father were a HILL then you could do the testing - ----- Original Message ----- From: <Javbst@aol.com> To: <hill@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 5:15 PM Subject: Re: [HILL] dna testing >I support the DNA testing if that can be a useful tool for research, though >I > asked Aaron about Hill DNA testing and in emails to me he replied that > since > I wasnt a Hill it was for only, I also was told that by one of the testing > labs noted here in the discussion ... yet my great grandfather was a Hill > and my > grandmother a Hill, so I really dont understand the exclusionary basis of > this > testing. > > B Rgds, > Scotty Hartigan > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > HILL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message >

Scotty, As I have described before, the HILL DNA Project is for men who are direct descendants of someone named HILL. Because of the problems with AOL, we have had a hard time communicating, but from what I remember you are not a direct descendant of a HILL. Or am I wrong? Your yDNA would be HARTIGAN not HILL, unless you have a different surname than your father for some reason. Let me know if you still have questions, etc. Aaron From: Javbst@aol.com Reply-To: hill@rootsweb.com To: hill@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HILL] dna testing Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2006 20:15:43 EDT I support the DNA testing if that can be a useful tool for research, though I asked Aaron about Hill DNA testing and in emails to me he replied that since I wasnt a Hill it was for only, I also was told that by one of the testing labs noted here in the discussion ... yet my great grandfather was a Hill and my grandmother a Hill, so I really dont understand the exclusionary basis of this testing.
