I have been reading about matching persons to each other by DNA testing. In the Strack/Strock lines there has always been the family lor about brothers and cousins coming to America. At GENTECH, Jan 2002, Ancestry.com was starting a DNA project. Then this past week Ancestry.com announced a special price for a time period, length unknown. FYI the URL is http://www.ancestry.com/genetics/main.htm I went ahead today and ordered the testing kit for the male lines. The cost is something that I wouldn't do often but if we can get a couple of others to also get the kit maybe we could prove one way or another about connecting across the pond.
