I received the following: "An exact match has been found between you and another person in the Family Tree DNA database. You and the other person match in all loci. If you share the same surname or variant, this means that there is a 99.9% likelihood that you share a common ancestor in a genealogical time frame. If you match another person without the same surname or variant, you still probably share a common ancestor, but this ancestor most likely lived in the time before surnames were adopted. The link below will take you to your Family Tree DNA Login. From there, click on the "Y-DNA Matches" tab to see a list of your matches. Newer matches will be at the top of the list. Additional emails will be sent to you as we find new matches between you and your "genetic cousins."" http://www.familytreedna.com/ftLogin.a Is this worth following up? I had the "short" DNA test run - is that enough to match someone with a 99.9% likeihood? -- Skip Queen Viruses? Spyware? Not me! I use Linux!! Linspire - The world's easiest desktop Linux!
