I would hate to see all the descriptions about DNA testing being a "fraud" or being of minimal value without seeing rebuttals coming from members like myself for whom it's been immensely helpful. My paper trail had lead to the proverbial brick wall until I participated in the Hill DNA Project. My DNA results linked me to a Hill line that I had no idea that I had connections previously. As a result, I have been able to continue my paper trail research and I've uncovered information that has helped me discover a few more generations of my Hill line. I hope that none of the negative posts regarding DNA testing will prevent anyone considering joining a project from doing so. Don't just blindly believe anything you read on this list. Let Google be your friend and do some research on your own to decide if you want to participate in a DNA project. I hope the Hill DNA Project will continue to grow and benefit Hill researchers for years to come. Mike Hill Kaye Sass wrote: >I don't think the site is to agree or disagree on DNA.
