The jerk that started this rumor was guessing at the purpose of BYU efforts. Any thinking person would realize you cannot do DNA testing unless you have material to test. DNA testing may be useful for archeological purposes but certainly not for genealogical research. Lets stick to our purpose in IT ROOTS and not get carried away spreading unfounded rumors. WAA

Dear List, I was at the doctors office and read a report about this very issue in a Time magizine. It is not "rumor" , the person that summitted this to the list was just trying to help. No need to slay the messenger.
