Yes it makes sense and will fill in many blanks, I am sure. Yes, the DNA is rather intriguing. I had no idea that this doesn't happen often. The people genealogical society, here in Santa Barbara,California, thought I was kidding when I asked about matching 36 out of 36 with 2 other lines. Now they use my story all the time, when talking about DNA. It would be so exciting to actually have the connection between us, with all blanks filled. It might make a bigger impression on someone who is wondering weather to do it or not. Gwen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
