You need to look it over real well and you need to decide which DNA test you want to use.
I started with the cheapest one, the 12 marker DNA test. It costs $99.00 plus $2.00
postage. I would recommend that anyone that intends to do DNA testing read up on the
process. The best book for beginners is probably: "Trace Your Roots with DNA" by
Megan Smolenyak and Ann Turner. I picked up a copy for half price at
Amazon.com. The
regular price of the book is $14.95.
Realize that because we are early participants we might have to wait awhile to see results
from others. You and I should be a match or at least very close I would think which is why
I hoped that you would participate. The more people that are in our line and the more
markers they test for the better the results. Is that enough information for awhile?
Let me know if you have more questions. I should get my results back around March 4th or
perhaps a little later. They keep you updated on where they are in the testing process.
Hope to hear from you again soon.
