I have recently moved and have just discovered the DNA study threads on my prior email address. I am interested in the study, but would like to have a "ball park" cost figure. I'm not real computer literate, and I realize this isn't the place to request information, but would anyone on the Strong list be able to tell me how I can get my email address changed so I can get the Strong mailings sent to my new one? Thank you.

Hi Rene' If you will send me your email addresses, old and new, I will take care of your address change for you.
