I think this is super! And I'm going to try to talk one of my uncles into doing it. However -- I wish you had asked my permission before posting. The Rootsweb AUP forbids commercial messages. So please keep all further discussion about this general, or direct questions of a business nature directly to Ruth Norton. I've read The Seven Daughters of Eve, and am quite excited by what DNA testing can do for genealogists. I would *love* to know if all of our lines of McBees have a common progenitor! Valorie PS: The website offers a free videotape explaining their services. I have ordered one.

Dear Valerie, It was surely not my intention to break any of the rules and I do apologize. I had figured when you messaged me earlier to subscribe first before I could post the message that it was ok. I have not had this problem with the other two surnames I got started. It never entered my mind it was against the rules since it is genealogy. Again please accept my apology Sincerely, Ruth McBee Norton At 12:42 AM 3/24/2003 -0800, you wrote: >I think this is super!

No problem! Let's just keep talk of costs and companies to private email, from now on. I think it's wonderful that you are heading up this effort, and I hope you get lots of takers. Comparison of results will *definitely* be on-topic -- and fascinating!
