That site I gave everyone a few days ago has the price list. It can be upgraded later for the dif. in price if you get a close and not-sure match. However, I think most are getting the 12-marker test. Of course our children and grandchildren think our hobby is a waste of time! Our curiosity is one thing that's not necessarily inherited! But surely some of our Loves have yuppie children who have two houses, a car for everyone, go out to eat all the time, only designer clothes, etc. (I adopted mine and they're not yuppies.) Even if they're not interested, just (as the patriarch or matriarch of the family) go to them and tell them, "Hand over $125 and don't ask questions." They might be so amused at the brashness and senility being exhibited, they'll actually do it. Or say, "I want $125 for my next birthday (or Mothers/Father's Day) and I don't care how you get it." Or tell them the next time you fix their favourite meal ~ or go fix their plumbing, or watch their kids ~ it'll cost 'em. If they don't come across, go out on their lawn in their plush neighborhood and set up a lemonade stand! If some of the older Love men in our list would say, "Yes, I'd be willing to do the test," then others with yuppie children/grand children would be inspired to get busy and find the money to do it.

Even people in the UK might want to join it it was started. After all the page would show matches. One would want the 25? marker test and I think that is what FTMDNA does. I didn't know they had lowered the test. I was hoping they would. I doubt that we old ones could get our kids to contribute. Most of them think genealogy is a useless hobby until they get older.Mary Harkey Russell [email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
