Cheri- for the first time I started to understand this DNA "stuff". I marvel at you understanding it in such a way to make it clear. I'm going yo print it out so I can study it since email can get lost. Thanks once again for your commitment and dedication to helping us find our ancestors (and

Hi David M, It does take a while to understand it all. All- I will be offline Friday from 8 a.m. PST to 9 or 10 pm CST as I'm traveling to the FTDNA Conference in Houston. Rosemarie will release what she can, but she's at work. So there may be a delay with some messages on this list. Cheri Mell

Paul, re: FTDNA - I always have my family join a surname or group, like this one, when I can. I think you get a little price break even when they are having a sale (wait for one) because, I believe, you will find close matches more easily this way. "E" -- To unsubscribe from this group,

Paul, I have had both done. My Portuguese genetics have not turned up many matches in the group, however, you probably have different genes than I do (from our great grandparents) so we may find better matches that way. That is: if you decide to do it. Eric On Oct 24, 2012, at 9:56 AM,

Hi Paul G, It's kinda like having a generic gasket for your car which you take into the dealership. The dealership will want to use their own gasket, even though yours might work. One of us admins will announce on the list when FTDNA starts their Holiday Sale. Usually it's in December through D

Cheri, Here are the DNA kits that I own. They are from DNA LifePrint. They are endorsed by John Walsh from the show America's Most Wanted. As for the age, they are about 10 years old still in their original boxes. One box has been opened but the swab is still factory sealed, as is the vile tub
