Vickie, You should ask Jack to join the mail list and ask him if he has a Kilgore family member who can do the DNA. Nell, I see you called on caller ID. I was between Colorado and Arizona. Got home a week ago today so I am now at the 836 number if you need to talk I should be home part of the day tomorrow.
