Bill and list, Until the book " Genealogy DNA for total Idiots" is written, I will not understand the first thing about this. Bennett Greenspan who runs FTDNA is often willing to receive and answer questions and point you to sources of good information. One thing I do know we need is to know who has tested and if they match or come close if you think it helps. The reason for this is we need to be able to start digging into the genealogy and checking it twice and confirming what we can with paper proof. This is what we have been trying to do for years and it will go on even with DNA tests. We need more men taking that 12 marker test.
