Aaron, I have a cousin, that her brother is doing the DNA, testing, we are searching for native american ancestery. I don't know a lot about DNA testing, but what I have read, I think it is great. I am also related to a Hill family my grandfather was James Ervin Hill, I have run across a brick wall, and if it was possible, I would have my DNA checked. By possible I mean I have other things going on, that need my attention. Keep up the good work. susan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron Hill" <mrmayor@hotmail.com> To: <hill@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 2:07 PM Subject: [HILL] DNA Testing A Fraud > DNA research is not a fraud, no matter what 'your opinion' is.

You can have YOUR female dna tested but it will come back like mine - too vague to be of any use! The male is the ONLY one of use for genealogy.
