I have just looked at the tests that we have completed at this time. I think this Y-DNA testing has been an eye opener for quite a few of us. I know it has really surprised me. A few years ago many of us thought if we did enough paper work we could find that illusive Robert Love with his 3 wives and his 3 families. We thought most of us were related. Surprise ! Surprise ! The Y-DNA test is showing us how wrong we were. For those who have found matches it gives them direction that the didn't have before . I think it would be interesting for the list members if some of you who have been tested would tell the rest of us what you found out that was new to you? What surprised you? How has it benefited you? Do your think the test is a valuable resource ? Mary Harkey Russell [email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird
