Winnie and Interested List Members, Since BYU is predominately a Mormon based school and the LDS holds the largest geneology research and database in the World, I recommend working with your local LDS Family History Center as a focal point for gathering the required number of people to participate in the program (100) and gather info necessary to have BYU scientists to come out and retrieve the needed data and blood samples. Additionally, they have computers available that all could use to input their 4-generation pedigree into the same format for all (especially for those without computers or gene programs). That's just my suggestion.

I hope the references I sent will help to explain the ideal behind all this. I haven't had a chance to read it all myself but will study it and see what is necessary to get it started. > > As to the location, I don't believe they would care where you come from. They most likely are interested in as many samples as possible, but in order for it to be worthwhile for them to come to you, they want at least 100 people willing to participate. If you are living elsewhere, try passing this info on to your local genealogical page, and I'm sure they will be willing to go wherever the demand is. > > Winnie > > > ==== VAMONTGO Mailing List ==== > The Montgomery Co VAGenWeb "Books" page is located at URL: > http://www.rootsweb.com/~vamontgo/mont-lup.htm >
