Bob, while the technology is such that only male descendants whose surname is Strong can be tested, others such as yourself may be able to participate if (1) you have a male Strong cousin in your immediate family or (2) count a male Strong among those with whom you exchange information about your line. Please try to enlist a qualified person and, if necessary, pay the fee for them. Robert E.
