Dear Carol, The question you ask is only answerable when you get more testing of yur family and any other Rogers Family you want to compare to. This also requires comparing family lineages. None of the above stands alone. My second message to you clarifies what I deduce is your problem. Little public Rodgers/Rogers information. Somewhere the Group Administrator has a web site for you to access. He should post the families lineages and DNA results. Off line the SCANDERS-L web site I will send you a copy of what I post that lets Hendricks families know about their kin ship. Why do I have to do this? Rootsweb-L has an archaic communications policy and will not allow pasting of PDF files that maintains documentation integrity. God Bless.

But does the 12 marker test give false negatives? Or is it a reliable method of eliminating families you do not match--such as the Benjamin Rogers family that we did NOT match. Are we right in assuming we are not related to this family? Thanks so much for your help.
