Curious about the DNA tests. So many 'tales' swishing around! One is that females can't have DNA tests to find ancestral lines or relatives, just don't work on females. Two, is it's been proven that DNA tests ARE NOT totally accurate, and that often one person's DNA gets mixed up with anothers. Thus someone may get the results for my test and I'd get results for someone else, and here we go trying to trace down and claim kin to people who are no kin to us. Third, because of #2. DNA actually proves nothing. IF these things be true why does our justice system allow DNA test results to send people to prison ? And what is this of free DNA test? I've not heard of that one. Please someone, let me know and no jokes, ok?! Margaret of not one, but two Jones lines for ancestors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "claire frustine" <cfrustine@yahoo.com> To: <jones@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 4:33 PM Subject: Re: [JONES] JONES DNA > Hi, I signed up and donated to sorenson they have a news letter and if > you stay with it and read it you will find a web site for members to check > results against I'm a Jones also a Johnson,Heath, Smith lines and lets not > forget my Birkbecks, Crawfords and better yet my maternal side from Poland > Zabalowicz and you folks have problems??

DNA is for male lineage only. MTDna is for female lineage only. NOW to confuse you. A male can test for both Y DNA and MTDna. A female can only test for the MTDna of their mother and that mothers mother. etc back so names will constantly change. They recently learned how to split the Fibers to do deeper tests on the DNA submitted. Information released last week. Most tests basically just tell of the region your kin came from unless, big word here, someone else has worked the line back at least 12 generations you probably won't see a clear link. I have mine back 12 generations and can not get brother to test. I do believe I will find others of the same line. The other thing is you have to test deep enough to have link. I for future sake did the first test on kin so we have the data and will up grade the tests down the road when more funds available and the human may not be. I am doing or hoping brother will test for DNA to prove my lineage to TEAGUE JONES, son of Christopher JONES of the Mayflower. I have it on paper that we link. But the papers needed to prove for societies are not the same. Since they are taking DNA as proof I am pleading with brother to do test. It really is not as non accurate as some tend to make us believe as you stated courts use DNA but then you have to realize that those DNA tests are not the same as the ones we are paying for. We as individual I doubt could afford those types of tests and we really do not need them. We are only attempting to prove lineage and relationships. FTDna is a great source of information and you can always google about the two tests done and learn more. Also National Geographic Society is doing some testing also. :>) Susi On Sep 13, 2007, at 4:35 PM, Margaret Prior Boyer wrote: > Curious about the DNA tests. So many 'tales' swishing around!
