Orin, if I thought my getting tested would result in finding out to what Wells group I belong, I certainly would do it. But I gather from what I read that it won't tell me what I want to know. My gr. gr. grandmother was a Wells five generations back. See: 1. Me, [I] 2. mother Helen Taylor Child, 3. grandfather David Trumbull Child, 4. great grandmother Rachel Lockwood Trumbull, 5. gr. gr. grandmother Harriet Townsend Wells. So, how should I proceed (if at all)? Elizabeth Goodfellow Engle Edmonds, WA -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Liz, Although getting tested at Sorenson won't help - you don't even get the results - it can contribute to the overall science of testing the DNA. I would like to see as many participants from the various families as possible. It may be that in this way we will get them enough DNA material on related individuals to help them perfect the methodology for testing the allied branches. It won't cost you anything to do it.
