Hi Jo A:

You have my permission to post the information about the articles, with my
address. As you may have noticed, I have been responding to anyone who
posts on the BET.com discussion board that accompanies the article.

If you are African-American, see the information at africanancestry.com.
Dr. Rick Kittles of Howard U. tests for paternal and maternal DNA for about
$300. If you are of European descent, Dr. Bryan Sykes at Oxford ancestors
is doing maternal tests for $180. Others will be offering the DNA tests
soon.

Good luck, and I will forward any new information about new DNA labs as I
find it.

Take care,

Pearl Duncan
