Hello all!!! This is Rikki LOVE (not Lake), and I am trying to figure out just how I volunteered? hahaha I guess by my wanting to do it so bad led me to be the administrator. OK, if that is what everyone wants, I will give it a whirl. I can not promise anything, but I have already emailed FTDNA for information, as has Dr. Lou Love. Dr. Lou has since forwarded this information to me. I at this time have an e-mail in to Bennett Greenspan (president of FTDNA) asking for additional information on the project. I am now awaiting his response on this matter. I do at this time ask for help in this venture, until I can get it all sqaured away. We do need to find and enlist at least 6 LOVE males to get the ball rolling. If we have 6 males and committ to a minimum of 6 test kits, the price will go down from $125 to $99 per test. Next we need to set up some type of donation process to get monies together to help those that can not afford to pay for the test, or pay for the whole thing. We would after these things have been set up, get the word out that we are into this, and are asking for LOVE men to test and find from what line they come. Ladies, you can not test, but your fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, etc... surely can. As long as their surname is LOVE and they come from and unbroken line of LOVE's they are able to test. Also any lady that has LOVE heritage, but does not have a LOVE connection close enough to test, I ask that maybe you give a little donation to help with this project. I have already received several interested males about getting involved with this project, and I believe with a little more persistance from us all, we can and will have this up shortly. Anyone with any questions, PLEASE e-mail me at [email protected] or you may even call me at home at 662-494-9432. (if you do call me at home, who ever answers the phone, you better tell them that it concerns genealogy, if not none of daughters will give me the phone. For some reason they think that it is their phone... hahaha) Also, I had mentioned in a previous e-mail about a website. I have already begun the process of putting one together, and will let everyone know when it is about to go up and online. I will not release it to the public until the main oneS involved in this have had a chance to go over it and see if there are any changes that they feel should be made. Sorry about the lengthyness of this note, but I felt that these were issues that should be discussed before the project could move any futher. Let's wish ourselves GOOD LUCK, and a little for me wouldn't be to bad either. <G> Let me know all of your thoughts on this matter. Rikki Love,GGG-Grandson of William Hiram Love 1801, NC - 1885, GA
