Thanks, Jim. If anyone is interested in participating, you oan access the link to the Kaiser/Kiser/Kizer DNA project through my Michael Kiser web site (http://arslanmb.org/kiser/kiser.html). It gets you a discount off the normal test price from www.familytreedna.com. This is a great tool for research to interconnect these various families. If there is interest, I can set up a fund to allow the collective Kiser research community to jointly support the cost of testing for guys like Jim with the right Y-chromosomes to participate. ----- Original Message ----- From: 2thdr1@bellsouth.net Date: Monday, May 1, 2006 11:19 am Subject: To: KISER-L@rootsweb.com > Hello fellow Kiser's, > > I have submitted dna to Family DNA.com to participate it the > Kaiser/keyser/kiser surname project. > The DNA used is junk dna and is basicly Y chromosomal dna markers > that can show the closeness of the nearest close relative in time. > The test is done with a cheek swab scraping and provides us with > the ability to see if we have a near common ancestor. > Currently 3 Kisers have submitted dna.
