Gwen, Thank you for your comments. In some instances the statistics are not always correct. It certainly would be interesting to have a descendant of Sherrad and Ezekiel James tested as this is a strange coincidence since they did associate with our line. It should be noted the differences are only one step and they occur at DYS458 and DYS449. Both of these loci are known to mutate at a faster than normal rate. Martha Rice
