Nick, I enjoyed reading your opinion regarding the recent DNA changes. Thanks for your input. I belong to the Baker Family, Bolling Family and the Pennington Research group, as a member of their DNA studies and their family lines. I have always believed that it is much too soon to evaluate the DNA findings 100%, since we are only in kindergarten, but it's a start. I can document my Pennington line back to Micajah Pennington b 1743, m to Rachel Jones b 1741 with enough proof for the DAR, so I find this to be the way I can document my family line. I follow the DNA studies closely and it looks very promising for the future. Hopefully we'll know more about reading the results and making the correct conclusions. ( Just my opinion. ) I've been on vacation and have just finished reading 200 emails, or I would have responded sooner to your letter. Cousin Ruth
