My husband did the test and he matched a gentleman who had come to the same conclusion as I did. We could not find any proof of parents except this elderly couple would come 40 miles in the 1700's to be the sponsors for the baptisms for this couples children so we knew they had to be related, but now we know we are on the right track as they matched on a 37 marker test. Now my husband's family is really interested in their family history, enough to travel 1500 miles to attend a family reunion in 2004. My brother matched 2 men who were from Muhlenberg Co., KY, and our ancestor was born in Muhlenberg Co. but had moved to Livingston Co. but I had figured his father and the 4 older men of Muhlenberg Co. were probably brothers and now we know we are also on the right track there. I knew one further generation they did not have from the 1852 Livingston Co. Clerk's ledger book. We are now looking for descendants of the other two so they can also test. These tests have brought a lot of people all interested in genealogy together where we might not have ever been if it was not for the testing. I ordered my own mtDNA test last night. I am so glad we all have freedom of speech and a keyboard with a delete button. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: PRSmith <prsmith@houston.rr.com> > Your opinions are noted and you are certainly entitled to > them.

AGAIN - the male tests may be useful but the female is TOO VAGUE and generalized for any worth in genealogy. Don't believe me - send the testers YOUR female DNA and see what I mean. You learn best from life's lessons. Go ahead, I dare you to waste your time and money!
