| Ian,
I'm not sure if I want to know  ...
My mom and dad said I was born Canuk. That's good enough for me.

It would be fun to follow the research.

| My brother did some kind of "family" tree and researched it. He said our family was related to the first person who was convicted and hung in America by a jury of his peers for killing someone in tavern.
I tried to do some of that family tree stuff and I stopped when I discovered relatives arrived from England on a prison ship.
Maybe the DNA would clear up these misconceptions.Then I would feel better about myself.

| Thank you Ian. My inventory on the website is down right now. I just got through the TAPS show, and now I've got to get some ready for Chicago. When that's over I should have the time to post what I have available on the site.

Now that sounds VERY interesting, but the $99 to do it is a little much, I think. |

| As Bigfish stated, interesting till I saw that C-note for the kit. I hear they have samps. of prior mil. even from way back when I was. Wonder if they could use that. Hey S.Ps. we all(our ancestors) left for a reason. Most of us wern't wanted.
