Hi Cousins, The DNA testing company that our family project is using is once again offering 6 holiday gift certificates for each surname project. This is a great time to join and be tested or to give testing as a holiday gift. I can't talk about price on this list, but there are two certificates for a yline (paternal) 25 marker test, two for a 37 marker test and two for mtdna (maternal) testing. These are not fully paid tests, but will reduce the cost of the test by 10-15%. Terms of the certificates are: 1) that they be used only for new members (new kits), not upgrades, 2) that they are not valid in conjunction with any other promotion, and 3) that the kit must be ordered *and paid for* by 31 Dec 2007. Any certificates not used by December 31st will expire, although if the kits are ordered and paid for by the, they don't expire. You can use the certificate and purchase the kit, even if you haven't decided yet who will use it. The kits have a virtually indefinite shelf-life (until the samples are actually taken), so you could purchase a kit now and use it later. If you are interested, please contact me offlist and I will send you the link and instructions. Roberta Estes
