You seem to be pretty fond of the word "compiling." Now you've just added it to another word, "comparing" which lends a new dimension to the task at hand. Compiling is merely drawing up a list, for some purpose. Plenty easy. Comparing means what? Comparing the DNA data you get back to someone else's DNA results? How does one do that? *I* can't do that! There are experts that are paid well to do that, not so? So why do you say those who are mentioned on this "DNA Interest List" are those who have agreed to "...compile and compare DNA of the various branches of the Whaley family." No. Not me. I know only what DNA is, generally speaking. I wouldn't have a clue as to how to perform any comparison analyses... That's for that expert of which I spoke. The DNA test will cost some specified amount, and that's only the beginning. Now you have to add the cost of whomever it is that will actually do the work of comparing all the individual DNA data that's gathered to each and every OTHER one. Not so? Otherwise, what good is it for anyone to have their DNA data extracted and recorded? Have you established what the work flow will be, and who the workers will be? And the ultimate cost of comparing the various DNA sample data to those on the list? In submitting my name to this compilation of yours, I merely agreed it would be a good idea, and said, "Sure. Count me in as a person interested in donationg his DNA for testing." Nothing else. So...who IS going to do the work, and what will it end up costing us? Who will be doing the sorting and mailing and emailing and performing the detailed comparisons required? Not me. I'm just a source. You or your assignee will be doing all the stuff in the above paragraph, for some to-be-agreed-upon fee. Once I know that, perhaps we can proceed. Not before that. Lots of clarification and elaboration needed. This nucleus must be expanded into a workable plan. * * * In the meanwhile, I'd almost forgotten about the "other" DNA comparison site Mike Whaley mentioned, at: http://worldfamilies.net/surnames/w/whaley/. I think I'll slip over and take a look at it again. That site is supposed to have already been established. If so, why start another? Later, keith whaley From Charles (Dale, N.Y.), Steven, Lucius Daniel, William Howard, Don Lucius (my dad.)

There is a Whaley DNA site already set up at http://worldfamilies.net/surnames/w/whaley/ If you go to this link you will get the group rate for DNA testing which is quite a bit less that getting individual testing. Also I have found out that it is best to go ahead and get the Y-DNA37 kit. It gives the most info for what we are doing. Thanks Justin for getting the ball rolling. If we do this, it will open a lot of doors..

I'm interested but unfortunately being female it lets me out. My father and his brother are both dead and I don't know of any other Whaley's in my line. My oldest Whaley ancestor is Edward Whaley d. 1718 in Maryland. I should already be on the Oldest Ancestor List.
