    3. Wow! There are some impressive members and projects here! I am CeCe Moore. I have been researching my family for about ten years with a lot of emphasis on my Finnish ancestry, which prior to my work, was largely unknown. Happily, I can say that I now enjoy communicating with my many Finnish cousins in Finland as well as all over the US. I have been participating in Ancestry DNA testing for a couple of years, but have been interested in it since it's inception. I recently took over as the admin for the Proctor Surname Project at FTDNA and started one at Ancestry as well to try to recruit as many Proctors as possible. The FTDNA project had previously never been handled by a family member (my mother is a Proctor) and was one of the many under Terry Barton's administration. Because of its lack of attention, it is very small for a fairly well-known surname. Therefore, my efforts will be focused mostly on recruitment until I can get a reasonable amount of testees for comparison. I hope to eventually enjoy the exciting successes that many of you here are describing. I recently participated in the beta testing phase for both 23andme's Relative Finder and FTDNA's Family Finder, so I have acquired quite a bit of experience in the autosomal DNA testing. I am open to questions offlist in that regard since that is not this list's focus. I also post regularly on the ISOGG DNA-Newbie List. My "real" job is producing television commercials, although lately I spend more time on my genetic genealogy hobby. I was recently fortunate to have the opportunity to combine the two in this spot for FTDNA's Family Finder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LxaoMLDSFk Incidentally, the photos used in the commercial are some of the many family photos that I have tracked down over the years and shared on my public family tree, thus combining my other genealogy-related hobby as well. I look forward to learning more from this "kinder and gentler" forum and thank Diana for hosting it. CeCe
