Unfortunately I don't know any Hinds cousins at this point.... but luckily the evidence for my family's descent from Asa's daughter Susannah is pretty solid. > You can have yourself tested but the results for women > are not nearly so conclusive. Family Tree DNA is now offering a > reduced price for testing women if you would like to try it. I'll go to their website & check it out. I imagine that as DNA technology continues to advance, we'll eventually be able to tell even more about lines of descent. This is fascinating. It'd be very cool if eventually this project could help us conclusively solve the issue of who Joseph Hinds' (1705-1772) father was. -- Mel -------------- Melissa Saima Green <serkku@henkimaa.nu> -------------- Hiljaa hyvä tulee.
