Marie, I have a question. How will we know who to contact if we have a DNA match? Thanks, Carole

CAROLE, I believe they (Family Tree DNA) notify both of you. Now, when the kit is rec'd back, they activate the kit number, and our members can view? = = Received Lab Results: This selection tells you which kits have been processed by the lab and the members results are available for viewing at our site. === Generate: This selection displays the lab results for your members in a format you can copy and paste for web pages and reports. ==== THIS is the info we can use on our SELLERS dna page. will work on this more this an. I believe there is a sample page? if i can find and copy/paste, will send. marie, iowa -----Original Message----- From: Carole S.

My closest male Sellars ancestor was my great grandfather, so I cannot participate in the surname study but I have done the complete DNA study... Y-DNA, mt-DNA, and DNA Print (recent ethnic origins). Basically, if you give them permission to do so Family Tree DNA gives you the e-mail addresses of people who are matches... and gives your e-mail address to them. At this time I am the ONLY male in their database with my specific Y-DNA and there are few that are even close... All that *seems* clear at this point is that my male line is Northern European, my female line is probably Ashkenazi, and that by their best estimate I am 13% Native American. While the Y-DNA & mt-DNA results are quite specific and exact, however, the DNA Print is an interpretation and a 13% result is well within the range of inexactitude of the capabilities of the testing at this time. I could be as little as 0% Native American... though I think not because my best guess from (admittedly vague) genealogical information was that I am about 12% Native American. I'm hoping that the accuracy range is narrowed as more people have such testing done. RW Carole S. Walker wrote: >Marie, I have a question. How will we know who to contact if we have a DNA >match?
