Apparently they are travelling around the states taking blood samples from people who are of age and who have at least four generations on their family charts. They are going to be in my area in late January and I was thinking about participating. For those of you who are interested, you can access the site at: http://molecular-genealogy.byu.edu Then a list member contacted BYU to find out details and offered to organize and manage the project. Abt. 140 list members committed. And from there he tell us what to do, what he needs, and when to send to him and he handles it all. So far I have sent $30. and a pedigree chart of biological ancestors back to immigrant. And of course we will have to go to our own Dr and pay for blook work. The primary things the group wants to know and we have been told that testing will reveal is if the "northern & southern" lines are related, the ones who have cherokee or jewish ancestors, etc. To learn more about this Process of Molecular Genealogy go to the Yahoo or Google search engines and type in Molecular Genealogy BYU and read the details.
