I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. Member #86809 has already tested his 67 markers.
The Kittler test was an additional test, to determine the order of markers 385a
and 385b. What I'm recommending is that no other descendants of Peter CARRICO
need to take the additional Kittler test. That doesn't mean I'm recommending no
one else test their 67 STR markers. Just the opposite. I wish every male
CARRICO would get tested to 67 markers.

Are you saying that the test that I ordered the other day is
now not needed?
