As you say, twelve markers are not very helpful.? You need 37-67 markers to see who you
are really related to.? My husband matched several others of the same surname at the
twelve marker point.? Imagine our surprise when he proved to be unrelated at 37 markers
and at 67 markers he had no matches at all!? We are looking for other Lawrence descendants
from the area to take the tests and try to sort things out.? It is fascinating to us!?

I have so many 12 marker matches of all sur names... some distant Carroll
matches that are not exact, so what does that tell anyone?

You could see that you may be a match to others in the data-base. That can
lead to a lot of info.

I am disappointed, with hope that someday I may have some answers.
I am also confused by the findings. If there were any findings at all.
To start
with,in my case, My husband's grandfather was a mystery man who left no
paper trail
to who he was. He was a drifter and probably an only child. My son did the
DNA test,
so he would be generation ONE, my husband generation TWO, my father in law
three, mystery Grandfather Four who was probably an only child, So the
closest match may be the descendant of
Generation five, six, seven or eight. What can I expect with a match from
that scenario?

This mail list has been quiet for too long!
I would like to know who has learned something about their
ancestry because of the DNA test. Who has a success story to
share?
Who is totally confused by the results of the test?
Who was disappointed when they saw the results?
How can someone on this mail list help answer some of your
questions?
Just call me an agitator,
