OK Carrier Clan, I just wanted to let you all know that I just ordered my DNA kit from the
link provided earlier on our web pages and that they are still honoring the special group
price of $99 for the initial test and results. So if you are still inclined to do so,
jump in and participate. The more info we have, the better chance we all will have to
analyze the data to unlock some mysteries of our ancestral past. After all, aren't we
all really dying to know? (Sorry) I will post my results as soon as I recieve them in a
few weeks.
Neal, I believe after viewing the DNA website just now, that there does exist a Maternal
test as well???> Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:01:53 -0400> From:
