Amen Josette, Heck yes!!!!!!!!!!! I have heard enough on all this DNA stuff. If this posting list is going to be dedicated to this DNA program, How do I got off this list?? I can look elsewhere for my Maxwell's. Dale ----- Original Message ----- From: Josette L. Maxwell To: MAXWELL-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 10:16 PM Subject: [MAXWELL-L] DNA - does it prove anything? The answer is that no properly credentialed geneticist, forensic anthropologist or forensic archaeologist would even suggest that DNA testing of current Maxwell's proves diddlesquat about who was related to whom 200 years ago. Only if you could obtain DNA from the remains of Maxwells living at the same time circa, for example, 1750 in Pennsylvania could you perhaps establish a sibling relationship, and they would emphasize perhaps. Anyone want to go back to genealogy? - there is a John Maxel (who could not write and who most probably was a Maxwell) in Chester Ct. PA 1712; died 1715 with will which cited brothers without naming them and says he has one son who is a minor John plus a sister Jane and a mother who is to be taken care of by his brothers and sister. Anyone know anything about this family? Josette Maxwell Boone NC

I am going to pose a hypothetical question as to this DNA business. Suppose that I have a researcher that knows beyond a doubt who his gggrandfather is and I suspect that my gggrandfather is his brother, but have no proof, could a DNA test on both of us tell us anything?Yours Truly, Clyde W.

Yes, It will tell that you are related in some form or fashion. ----- Original Message ----- From: "clyde burns" <cpburns@swbell.net> To: <MAXWELL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 6:38 PM Subject: Re: [MAXWELL-L] DNA - does it prove anything? > I am going to pose a hypothetical question as to this DNA business.

Dale Conversation on DNA doesn't slow your search down using this website, post your questions as always. I've been here almost 2 years. I get hundreds of emails a year from others searching their lines which mean nothing to me, I just read it or not then delete it and move on. So delete it and move on, thats what I do you yours.
