> > I certainly appreciate the value of Y chromosome DNA testing ..... ......there are times when people match up by sheer coincidence...... Did anyone see the show TV on the other day? I am not sure which station as I don't get to control the remote control. :-) It was a group of college students who they did a DNA study on. I believe it was a Mitochondria study, but I didn't get to sit and watch it all. Before hand they predicted who they would have the most similarities with. Asian students thought they would match other Asians, African American to other African Americans, etc. But the results were surprising. Students had exact or nearly exact matches in countries that were completely different than they expected and the most similarities in their study group with completely unpredicted people. One young man even had two in odd countries, but very few similarities with the students in the group who would appear to have the most similar background. Anita
