    1. [LDR] DNA as a tool of genealogy

    3. There is a less expensive means of having your DNA tested and compared to a potential relative. At the website http://www.worldfamilies.net determine whether your line is already listed under projects. If it is join it by clicking on join the X DNA project and submitting your DNA ( the cost is much less than at the usual sites). If you can't find your surname start a new project. Everything is very private. I started both the Spicer project http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/spicer/ and the Haslet project (my wife's maiden name) Haslet(t) Project <http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/haslett/results>. If you are a DELMARVA Spicer there are three DNA lines from DELMARVA (1 is from an adopted Spicer line that took the Spicer surname, one is from Taylors Island whose origin is still unknown, and one is from a line S1 and S2 which originated from Exeter England). The Cannon surname is there as is Vincent (Vincent Project <http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/vincent/results>). However, don't waste money on the mtDNA if all you are trying to do is follow the family surname. Also don't pay for Y-DNA67 markers until you have a good match at Y-DNA37 ( this my recommended number of markers). Dan Spicer
