Now THAT is a surprise. My information is that the coupons are only charged when you use them at Relative Genetics and they have to be used within 90 days of issue. Let me check on this and report back. At 11:50 AM 1/9/2006, chommel6@comcast.net wrote: >Orin, I participated in the project at a LDS Church several years >ago, so I also sent Sorenson E-Mail.

Orin I beleive I have followed directions correctly. Here is what I found: 1. Went to Sorenson and requested a coupon from their Web site. 2. Received back a e-mail "thanking me" for participating. Also received a "Coupon Code" to use at Relative Genetics. 3. Went to the RG site in the above e-mail and found they wanted a credit card for $95 after entering the Coupon. Seems the coupon is a $60 discount for the 26 marker test, remaining cost of $95 to be paid at coupon entry.

from the do not call list page https://www.donotcall.gov/FAQ/FAQDefault.aspx 10. Can I register my cell phone on the National Do Not Call Registry? Yes, you may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry. You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers don't call consumers on their cell phones without their consent.

Kathy, I have found only one John in the Daniel Wells families, he married Elizabeth Hilleary and had one son and one daughter by 1806. Elizabeth died and John married Elizabeth's 1st cousin, Verlinda Hilleary, in 1831. As far as I know he lived and died in A.A. Co. MD. I do not know that this family has not been DNA tested.

Bonita, This is half a hoax. Go to Snopes.com and check it out. Basically, several cell providers are attempting to establish a 411 directory. You may opt in if you wish or refuse to be listed. Several large providers have declined, so far, to have their numbers included in any case. Jim Owens

Have you researched the Depuy family from Ulster Co., NY? I believe this family were Hugenot refugees and not from PQ. The reason I ask is because they have people with the right first names and right birth dates to fit my family, but I can't tie them in for sure. One source for this family is http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=hoferer&recno=3703 another is http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=gemini&recno=14446 Also in MI the St. Onge family was known as Gareau dit St. Onge. Do you know any Wells male relatives willing to participate in the Wells DNA study? We have now linked 3 different families stuck at the same brick wall and all bouncing between NY, Canada and MI.

I just checked the National Do Not Call registry. They will accept cell numbers.

There are other ways to reach the Do Not Call list besides the link. If you are nervous about using the link, go to Google. The release of numbers is not a scam tho. At least on our home phones it didn't cost us minutes, just time and aggravation.

Has anyone checked this out? It could be a scam to get personal information. I received an email with logo and all supposedly from Ebay which was a scam. Verify before you dial. Don

You can also google "hoax" or "urband legends" to find out if anything is true or not.

My source is numerous documents and court records in her pension papers. Frank and Frances also used the name Shatney and even Sherwood, and they lived around other Northern NY counties before settling in Ogdensburg. They came from Beauharnois, QC.
