Dear Gregg, Am trying to get Mike Newton to do the DNA test for us. Would you please send him the necessary Information to have the test done? You can read my letter to him addressing the reasons. There is to be a speaker on DNA testing at the Oklahoma Genealogical Society meeting this Feb. 4 I believe around 6:00 pm. Let me know if you make the connection to Mike Newton. Thanks Mary K.
