Just to let you folks know that I just forwarded my DNA-37 test kit to FTM-DNA. So far I believe that I am the only Abernathy from Giles Co. to do so and I believe I am only the second Abernathy to participate. My line back follows. Perhaps others will be interested. There is a need for someone to serve as a focal point for the Abernathy DNA Project. A good example of a DNA family site is _ttp://members.aol.com/BarbeeJK/DNA/Members.htm_ (http://members.aol.com/BarbeeJK/DNA/Members.htm) . (I descend from two Barbee branches, both of which were in Giles Co in the early 1800s) and would be a good model for a Abernathy DNA site.
