Cheri, Thank you for responding. I posed the question about inflammatory illness out of curiousity in the event anyone on the thread had knowledge of it being an issue. I have done my own research and know that the link is heredity. Thank you for the tips about the DNA markers. Do you happen to know if they store your information when you utilize the Family Tree DNA service? I imagine it would be more expensive to use a private company to do the DNA testing but I do not wish to have my genetic material stored or used for any purpose other than genealogical. K
