I would urge this group, if you are going to do a DNA project, to use Family Tree DNA in Houston. This group is connected with the University of Arizona. They have done many families' DNA projects, but I believe that of the Boone family is posted online. i am aware of another family group that used another DNA group (well-known) and had many difficulties with the project. Also while many groups are testing on the direct male lines, it is also possible to test the female direct lines (although the cost is greater). Family Tree DNA will take individuals' submission of their own DNA results (not connected to group testing) and will inform the individual if he or she matches anyone in their database. I have signed up earlier this month to participate in this; the cost to me as a female was $219. I talked to the doctor that runs this project at the recent FGS national conference. He is as interested in genealogy as he is in the science of DNA. He is trying to find new markers in DNA that will expand our information. I urge all of you to consider this group carefully if you go forward with this project.
