Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
This DNA project is open to any male with the last name of Shelton, Skelton, Chilton or any other spelling that may have been written in records where there is some confusion. This is a cheek swab test, no needles. A kit is sent right to your home. The results take up to 6 weeks from when the kit is returned. Having your results published is optional. You can keep your results totally private. Please start with the 25 marker test as there is not enough information given in the 12 marker test to separate you out from several of the lines.
To see if your DNA matches anyone who has already tested, you can order a kit here:

Tina Hall has had to change our DNA web site to the following address. This page may also answer some of your questions.
http://home.comcast.net/%7Etinasgenealogy/dna.html
Because the complete list is getting too large to send in its entirety, I will only show the lines of the new results. To view all of the results, please see our web page.
The information on this page is only accurate on this particular date using information that has been received and is subject to change at any time with more and continuing information. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
