What has this genealogy site come to???????!!!!!!!?????? I am Dr. Don Maxwell's partner in the DNA website; he does not need me to run interference for him, but I definitely feel an obligation to clear the air. False statements need to be corrected: 1. We never asked or even implied that any person should abstain from taking a part in the discussions on this bulletin board. 2. The webmaster has not asked us to "only report the URL of our DNA page." 3. Our recent statement started off with a question," Did Agnes Carson have a younger sister named Esther?' We are looking for assistance from the readers to prove or disprove a theory. This is exactly what a bulletin board is meant to do. 4. In a few months, I will be eighty (men brag about age after a certain point, women never do!) and my great-great grandfather was born in County Down in 1770. That is five generations in 232 years, seven generations could very easily take me back to the early 1700s. 5. 25/25 loci match in Y-chromosome means there IS A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP. And with Henry and Nathaniel, it would not be on the maternal side with Y-chromosome.. They may be brothers, they may not be brothers...that is what we are trying to determine. There is insufficient age differential to be father and son, so that probably leaves first cousins as the best probability. 6. Our DNA website has now drawn about 2500 hits, and we appreciate every single one of them. Genealogy "seekers" are very interested. If a person has no interest, fine....let it rest at that!

Eighty, and still with fire and a clear head, Thanks Wilmer for telling it like it is. New ideas and thoughts are what founded this great land. I think the DNA is very useful now and in the future, Larry W.
