LOL Maybe what Vickie said, we could send our money to whomever is going to test, or I think anyone can order the test sent to the donor??? If we do Charles, I will see Gladys offer and raise her one!!!

Count me in on contribution. I agree that it should be at least 37 markers. Do we have anyone in the Charles Kilgore line who would take the test? If so, I might contribute $11 instead of $10 since he's my ancestor! LOL Gladys In a message dated 9/13/2008 11:26:58 A.M.

One of my projects had an offer for only $75 which three of us split; on another one there were 5 of us and we contributed $25. There seems to be a larger group here so mybe it could be less? Also it depends on the marker as to the cost? I think it should be at least a 37 marker? Is $150 a ballpark figure? Are there at least 15 on this list that would/could contribute $10? I think Vickie has summed it up very well. I think $150 may be the going rate for 37 markers, and we probably can;t get it together in time to take advantage of the September 30th deadline for the reduced rate??? So who's on first!!! lol Who is our 'in residence authoity' on DNA!!! A comment on testing two from the same line, that sometimes turns up a surprise... So not even that is a waste???
