Hi Judy and anyone else who's interested... I had a poke around the Family Tree DNA site http://www.familytreedna.com/ that someone had posted earlier. They allow free searches of their database. If you go to : http://www.ysearch.org/search_search.asp?uid=&freeentry=true you can enter your own genetic data and search for a match in the ySearch database. There are a series of markers... just enter into the pulldown menus the ones for which you have info. There are some options you can choose... limit to Europe or North America or whatever... then search. Only thing is I'm not sure if the genetic scoring between companies is standardized. Maybe try it and see if the results make sense. If the markers or allele scoring are different, you may get some strange results and have to retest your DNA as they suggest. They also have a searchable list of SURNAMES. There are some Corbetts in there if you have a look (Alphabetical List...) at top of page. Let me know how you make out... all the best! ABC

Hi, I had my DNA test done by the National Geographic Genome project. The output from this is a report that shows the historic path of your DNA. The purpose of the project is to map the DNA across the world. The project is collecting samples from all the indigenous peoples and samples from the world population. Once the test is done you have an option to have your DNA results uploaded to Family Tree DNA (no charge for this). At this site they match it to all the other DNA in their database, they also have family groups that you can subscribe to. They send you an email everytime they have a new DNA input that matches yours I found it to be a good site. Ed Barbour ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allan B.
