Since this subject has come up again, I am curious if any of you are familiar with a DNA test that women can take that can be useful for genealogy purposes, namely the Family Finder test at Family Tree DNA. It is an autosomal test that identifies strands of DNA from all your ancestors for about 5 generations back. If you have some matches that indicate a relationship, then you can compare ancestral surnames to see where it is likely you share a common ancestor. Note that the results are limited to the Family Finder database, which currently is much smaller than the yDNA database. I know that results are 'stronger' through the male line, but I have none available to test so this seems like my best bet, IF it is worth the money. Please share with me/us your thoughts/experiences. Kay In a message dated 2/28/2013 1:06:32 P.M. Central Standard Time, Julia.Schroeder@jalc.edu writes: Yes I have Sheldon. The name that you gave as a connection I think to your father-in-law I actually have a lot of those in my listing. The name does not hit me right now. I thought about sending you a message previously about that. We have not figured out though how we connect.
