Deloris, do you have a copy of the document? If you want to put it out in multiple pieces, I have the 6 documents that I have been sending to those caught in the ISP situation.

Ellie, Let me send a bit of inspiraton to you and your family on the DNA testing. I am really amazed at the accuracy of what has come out of it for us. I never doubted DNA, but I was curious to see how it would fall into place for my family line. In the 1850 census there was another West family that my cousin and I felt strongly may be related, but we could never really find anyone who was researching the line. Several years later a descendant from the family in question submitted DNA. At this point we still had not ever had any contact with those descendant and didn't know if we would ever find anyone to come forward. Lucky for us they submitted DNA and we matched and it wasn't until we were contacted by Dennis West that we had another DNA match and it was from that family that we suspected. We have also been matched with three other families! One of those family's is traced back futher than any of the other 4 of us had knowledge of. I would really encourage anyone who have not submitted to this project to do so. You are really missing out on a valuable tool.

Dennis, I reviewed the results of the DNA project so far and my family is not there. If I can get one of my brothers to agree to testing, how do they go about it? Our earliest known ancestor was a Henry West who was born in 1723 and came to America from Ireland in the 1770's. Ellie

Hi Carol, We don't have a group W99. We have an individual whose code is W99, and he is in Family Group # 1. We have a family Group #9, and a family Group #19. I suspect you mean Family Group # 1. Let me know if you don't get a reply, and I will send your message to my contacts for the appropriate WEST line.

Danny, I sent the list to you but I just received notice that it was rejected. I will ask Jinny to send it to you. I believe this is happening because providers are trying to stop spam.
