David I had DNA done on one of my lines and it not only confirmed what I thought was the next generation by matching others proven to this line but someone else from that line had just started his research was able to contact me and get lots of information right off the bat.

The Stevens DNA project has quite a few people tested so if you match anyone you can contact them and exchange information.
