Who are your EKAs for your DNA group? I have been looking at Don Drakes pages for years, (Thanks so much Mr Drake!) Through the volunteers who have agreed to test, and efforts to consolidate information, we have discovered some basic relationships that may or may not be helpful to immediate, one or two generation ancestor research.
