Hi Ray, Just to be sure... Has no one saved an old comb, hairbrush, toothbrush, or other personal momento of William Glenn Taylor? There are some DNA extraction techniques available to us that don't require either a cheek swab or a blood sample. That is to say, other sorts of personal remains might be testable. Although, after nearly 18 years even I'm not too optimistic about anything. Dale E. Reddick Taylor Family Genes DNA Surname Project (at FTDNA) ___________________________________________ Ray H.
