I would like to report the DNA results for one of them for this group to see. Can anybody tell me how do do this? What format to use?" Probably the easiest way to make the results available would be to have the testee put his results on Y-Search, then post the code for them (NOT the URL for his personal page, just the code for comparison). That way anyone could look up the code and see what other results match. And if the person uploads a GEDCOM, then others could see the line of descent from about 1900 back, as well. As an example, my uncle's Y-DNA is representative of our line of Pattersons, who were in the Laurens/Newberry County area in the late 1700s and early 1800s before moving on to Alabama. To see his results, go to YSearch at http://www.ysearch.org and look for matches for 4WA7U, which is his code. By clicking on the code in the resulting results table, you can bring up the actual marker values. Margaret Lindsey Smith
