Hi Rob and all,
Family Tree DNA has, by far, the most customers, the greatest number of
surname and other projects, the largest databases, and the greatest range of
DNA tests. I've taken every test they offer and I manage two of their

Rob,
I happened to use Relative Genetics, but that's neither here nor there.
What matters to me was I was contacted by a second cousin in Barrie, ON, who
was able to match his test results with mine. BTW, this cousin is also
named James Terry and we have the same great-grandfather

Well, I haven't done tonnes of research

about my McCaslin's...) it is a test that I could actually take - but

Hi Jim:
Very cool to not only get results, but a result with such a strong
connection to your family history.
How many test markers did you go with? As I mentioned to Bill, I can see

Thanks
