Ron, I disagree with you slightly. It is VERY frustrating not to be able to make the paper connection but the DNA connection is proof that you are on the right course and validation even if you cannot make the paper connection, ever. Your Mr. Wilson might be an example of a person being on an incorrect course. He could have thought he was a Wilson but found that he was a Luddington through his DNA. It is unfortunate that the MTDNA (maternal DNA) cannot be so easily identified. Elaine
