I guess the real problem in my family is that I have one Mitchell uncle who has absolutely no interest in his Mitchell heritage. A couple of years ago I found out that I had a half Mitchell uncle by my grandfather's first marriage. Unfortunately he was in very poor health and within 5 months of my learning about him he passed away. He had 4 sons who while interested in knowing about their Mitchell family aren't interested in having the DNA test. I've sent them the DNA information several times and get no response. So from my line, no takers!
