Morning Kincaid Listers, Last June, when we were going to be gone for a while, we stopped the U-106 DNA Group emails. After getting my Big Y results I knew there would be lots of activity about the Big Y results so I got back on the U-106 List and I had over 12,000 emails for posts to the U-106 Yahoo Group since last June! During the past few days I have slogged through them, deleting most but saving about 50 that pertain to Kincaid dna plus a few gems like the one below written by Charles Moore, Administrator of the U-106 dna group. So now we know we are Explorers in the process of Discovery! In our own time, we sometimes wonder what we are accomplishing trying to extend our genealogies with DNA testing. We incur high expense, and several years later we still can't say very well when and where the founders of our groups lived, what kind of people the members of our groups were, how they got there from wherever, and how we got here from there. The fact is that we are the pioneers. We are literally laying down the markers that others will have to match for years to come. We wonder if we have obsessed over DNA to the point of mistakenly making it an end unto itself, when all it is is a bridge over The Genealogical Gap. Well, we can stop wondering. DNA is much more than merely that. It is a pathway to a healthier future with personalized medicine. And it is also perfectly OK even if it does become an end unto itself for some of us. DNA is what and who we are. It is a Treasure Hunt that never ends. We are explorers. We are engaged in the process of Discovery. We do this to benefit ourselves, but also to make a contribution to others, while we are still here.
