The 12 marker test seems fairly useless to me...the one I did was a 46 marker. There are generally 3 dead markers leaving 43 for comparison. We matched 41 out of the 43. We have the same last name with a slight variance in spelling. Frank McCullough LookingBack45@aol.com wrote: > >In a message dated 1/10/2008 11:18:02 A.M.
