On reviewing some of the treads on this list a question comes to mind, what is an Ancestor anyway? Are we looking for the DNA ancestor or our historical ancestor? Should someone who is adopted at birth be looking for their biological or adopted line? I believe DNA can take us only so far. I am more interested in the history of my family, rather than who slept with who. I am from the John of Middlesex line. I am interested in Jamestown because of my Rolfe line. I enjoy the discussions on this list and consider all of the Paces as my adopted family. The people on this list are by far and away the best genealogist of any list I belong to, and I belong to a lot of them. My DNA does no good to the Pace line as I am a Bailey and my mother a Christy. I believe it is important to do the DNA studies as it is leaving something for the future. Today's DNA studies are like Headstones. Important information for the future. People spend thousands on tombstones that fade away. DNA is forever. Jeff Bailey Gladstone, Missouri
