The Sorenson test is open to men and women but do we then send money for the other part of it or is that just for men. I will be glad to send for my kit althought I am a female not carrying the Wells name. If I understand this, I could at least send the coupon to someone who qualifies. I can certainly prove my line back six generations. I am still not sure about Martin Wells, Jr.'s parents. I think his father was Martin Wells, Sr. and his mother Mary Jones but am a bit unclear about that. I can definitely prove Martin Wells, Jr. and Sarah Boyd down through me. Mary Beth Marchant

You send no money to Sorenson. You simply send the sample, a consent form and the genealogy (gedcom preferred). If you then use the coupon to take advantage of the discounted testing at Relative Genetics, THEN you send them money only when you get their kit (swabs) and return it. Any Wells who does this needs to coordinate with me so we can make sure your results are included in the Wells project.

Mary Beth Marchant We certainly know this connects to the Martin Wells/ Henry Wells/ Jacob Wells family as we have tested a descendent down this branch. The testing was done on David Wells, brother or Martin Wells, Jr. >==== WELLS Mailing List ==== >To contact Listowner, >Send email to: >dwells@zekes.com Orin R.
