Hi Loyd, Thanks for the data, I have the database established. On the 12 and 25 markers below, do you have the marker ID's so that I can record them in the appropriate columns? Are the data valid, or should I now start from scratch? What information would you want to record on the pedigrees of these individuals? Can I assume you only want the Male ancestors? Possibly name, surname, date and place of birth of as many ancestors as are known. What documentation of the pedigree is required, if any? Do we use standard genealogical proof. Do we establish a reliability number of our own? Will you be telling me which of the records match to others - If so, I assume I should also record this data? I will concern myself on how to query the data after I get some to test. I am assuming the data to be private and not to be dispersed without direction from you or David B Strong. Comments - Answers?
