I am happy to see this word being spread. I had read about this great undertaking earlier this year. I thought there was no hope in being involved in this project, because I live in Ohio. I put it way in the back of my mind. In August, my husband and I attended a New Testament Conference at BYU. A flyer was hanging on the back of one of the elevators and also at each table in the cafeteria advertising the fact that if you wanted to be part of this research, come to a certain building to sign up. I didn't have a 4-generation pedigree chart, but neither did most of the other people that were there. I read through a paper, signed my agreement, and watched them as they carefully labeled the paper, a blank 4-generation chart, and an empty blood vial with matching code numbers. They took my blood and I was done in about five minutes. They had also given me a return envelope for the chart. I mailed the chart back that evening, for it was at our hotel. Yesterday, I received the $10. As I was standing in the hall filling out that consent form, I jokingly said it was too bad people had to come all the way to Utah to participate. He then mentioned to me that if I could get the people together, they would come to us. I just about fell over. I said I had a big mouth and would do what I can. Their goal is to get 100,000 samples. I have now turned all of the information over to the board of the Ohio Genealogical Society to see if they would like them to set up at their conference they have each April. We're all hoping......
