Well, well, well, Leave it to Roland to wake everyone up out of the doldrums. It is so good to know you are all still there - good to see everyone's names again. I have about completed research on my California names and have moved back in time to the East Coast from the 1600s to 1700 and to England and France before that with some missing generations still to find. DNA testing has been most helpful in directing my research to the correct family rather than doing it shotgun style. As a female, my DNA isn't of help on my direct family name line, but if anyone is interested, I found an intermediary website to look at - FamilyTree DNA and AncestryDNA won't let you look at the markers/numbers for comparison unless you submit a test sample and mine doesn't work here.

If you invest some money into a DNA test for genealogical purposes - how do you read the results?  How do you let the world know your results? How do you find others who match with you?    Is this easier with one company rather than another?    Has anyone used two companies and gotten different results?  Oooh that would be scareyl   Thanx Barbara
