Well then, Norman, if you are a unique James family line we would love to have you join the James DNA test. We are still trying to get someone from each of those separate 120 different James lines in this country. But you may be surprised and match someone else. We would love that! See the James DNA website at: http://www.jamesdna.net Which reminds me that we still have two Christmas gift certificates from FTDNA that will help two of you pay for either the 25 marker test or the 37 marker test. Hope to hear from you today. Any questions? Gwen Boyer Bjorkman gwenbj@seanet.com -----Original Message----- From: Norman V.
