Thanks, Allen. Yes, we do know for a fact their gg grandfathers were
brothers born in the early 1800's.

When I put the results data on my website, I like to mention something
about
the participants and/or their results as an explanation to the participants
and possible future participants about how DNA testing may be able to help
in proving or disproving a family line. When I saw it was on Loc 9, that
made think of the statement that Loc 9 mutated more frequently. I just
didn't want to use the statement if it wasn't correct.

Thanks again....Dell
