JAMES, thanks. WE Need several tests from our SELLERS in EACH area we came from. THESE tests do NOT PROVE to a parent, but, shows the connecting 'Y' links of families. the DNA 101 explains best.= An individual's test results have little meaning on their own. You cannot take these numbers, plug them into some formula and find out who your ancestors are. The value of the test results depends on how your results compare to other test results. And even when you match someone else, it will only indicate that you and the person you match share a common ancestor. Depending on the number of markers tested and the number of matches it will indicate with a certain degree of probability how long ago this common ancestor existed. It will not show exactly who this ancestor is. ==== I believe most of our SELLERS males should do the test and compare the results. WE will learn. AND our members can help explain, etc. YES, I believe some of us will need to go to the 25 marker for CLOSER results, BUT, the 12 marker for $99/101 will get us started and SHOW us where we are?
