Peter,

In response to your comment to Charlie ... Someone would have to be a Wall
Street Journal Online Subscriber to view the article online and then "cut and
paste" it. I am a print WSJ subscriber (delivered faithfully to our door at
5 AM each day) and even for those who pay the steep price to receive the
print edition, it costs an extra $39 per year to secure online privileges. We
pay them enough, so we don't give them the extra online subscriber fees.

Some selected WSJ articles are published at a free Dow Jones web site ...
http://www.opinionjournal.com/ ... alas the article Charlie referenced
does not appear to be included from yesterday's edition.

I agree with Charlie, it is a well done article. It's titled "Relative
Advance:
DNA Testing Helps Dig Up Family Roots." It's written by author Ken Wells
and includes an insert article that reviews the authors own experience in
establishing genealogical information in his own family, using DNA testing.

The article runs single column on the front page and carries over to multiple
columns on page A2. If someone has a scanner and something like an OCR
program (I do not) it could be scanned and converted into an email document.

Btw, a Google or similar search might yield similar articles.
