Genealogy DNA is relative new, Like anything it does take some time to review results and the More DNA done sure helps the History results, I have been Lucky to get Roys opinion, Rebecca Christiansen and Joe Anderson opinion .....They understand DNA far more than I do.. as Science was not one of my achievements. Roy Johnson DNA site is wonderful... so much better than Most sites ... I am so proud of it, I have my Hopkins line and Stone Lines ck it out so they can set it up kinda like it so those people can understand DNA better ...They still do not report as Roy does to Pace mailing lists new results coming in... which would be helpful, but as Roy says at time he does not have the time he need as he is taking care of ill person so hurts his time on DNA .. but we all understand and wish the best for him...... No DNA does not give me exactly who I descend from, but a general Idea , but I wanted to help with this new DNA research, and so I decided to get some of my related families to have DNA done one was brother of My Gr Grandfather and I searched until I found one who would qualify & do DNA.. His (Kit # 53888 ) matches up exactly with my results (MyKit # 13827) Which Tells us for sure Richmond Pace was father of both those boys as I knew they were , Now I am eagerly awaiting Results on a Kit ????.. who I am sure John Pace is brother of My Richmond Pace and almost sure DNA will prove this up as Documentation shows brothers ..at the most it could be off one marker on Marker 2, which just might agree with Kit # 7791 which possibly is a Brother of Richmond Pace but we had no proof ...That DNA should be out at least by 2nd week in Aug if not before...and Kit #10683 is exact Match with Kit # 7791 and one marker off from my Kit 13827 so perhaps Kit 7791 & Kit 10683 Descend from Brothers of one another and have the same father Which would be William Pace & Secely Walker ...So I am eagerly awaiting the New Kit # to come out...I am told if agrees exactly with my Kit then Kit 7791 is not a brother of my Richmond Pace, Just some how related ... We all Have opinions and at first when I had DNA done I was a bit disappointed it did not tell me exactly who I decend from, but I am excited abt my abv DNA information ..... If you Qualify want DNA done and feel Price to expensive the Pace site has indeed helped some of us that could not afford to have it done ...As we all donate a bit ..I tend to donate to the NC Pace's especially the 3bGreen.. but if you need help or feel too expensive ...I will gladly donate some to your DNA even tho its Middlesex Pace line, it will help the History of DNA for every DNA done...So have your DNA done if you Qualify... and hope it shows something that might help.you get excited about DNA as I am now..

I'll second that. I became the admin for a DNA project BECAUSE of the PACE DNA project, and used it on several occasions to show potential participants in my project, how they work and how helpful they can be. I believe Roy and Rebecca(?) also gave me a lot of guidance on using the SMGF database to supplement our results (which worked out great). And again, in defense of genetic genealogy, I don't look at it as a way to tell you exactly who you descend from, but its a tremendous tool for confirming relationships that may only have been 'educated guesses' before. In my project, we had a gentleman join that had a completely different surname, but oral family tradition from several generations back had told him that the family originally had our surname, and he thought he might be related to a specific branch. We were lucky enough to find a descendant from that branch and order a test and sure enough, they were a match! Looking at the 'educated guess' trees for these 2 participants, the most recent common ancestor was EIGHT generations ago. The gentleman that approached us has since met many in his 'new' family and attended a large family reunion with this group. DNA is not the all-answering genealogical tool, but it is an amazingly powerful one.
