Thanks Steven! I was unaware of a free test. What all has to be on the chart? I have names, a few basic dates (in some cases only years and no months or days), and general areas of residence from myself to my great grandfather. > Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2006 23:39:54 -0500> From: scperkins@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [PERKINS] My own re-introduction : Free DNA tests> To: PERKINS-L@rootsweb.com> > On 4/8/06, John Perkins <john_e_perkins@hotmail.com> wrote:> > Unfortunately, I am unemployed and have been for four years.

John: See the info here: http://smgf.org/page.jspx?name=request_kit You need to have people on the chart born before 1900 and have some idea of dates and places for you and the next 3 generarions of your ancestors.
