Please, be informed I am not the administrator of this list as some believe. I administrate the Lewis-DNA Rootsweb list. And I am a volunteer administrator of the Lewis2 group of persons who tested at Family Tree DNA. I cannot put anyone in contact with a member unless they are also a member in which case they already have access to contact information.
