Hi George,

Are you using Family Tree DNA for testing your Etheredge cousins? Bennet
Greenspan sent me the following:

<<Hi Steve

You and trip match exactly, like you expected, match exactly. Just have
Steve print the Release Form and mail it to us if he wants to be 'shown'
in the system.

I expect that using 21 markers we'll be able to separate the wheat from
the chaff, so to speak. I wish a few more Etheridges would test to see
how they 'hang' with you and Trip. We have 1 more in Batch 28 (due back
next week or so, and another Etheridge whose kit has not been returned
yet.

Hope you like the back end features we have added to the web site
recently

Best Regards,
Bennett Greenspan>>

The Trip he mentioned about is my cousin, Trip Etheridge of Montgomery,
Alabama. I was wondering if the two Etheridges he mentioned were the cousins
you had mentioned before. There isn't a website for Etheridge results that I
know of. I know we have been mentioned on Chris Pomeroy's one name studies
page along with a number of other families as possible one name studies in
the works. It would be nice if we did have a web page for Etheridge results.
If I were more knowledgeble I wouldn't mind starting one. I have posted a
query for Etheridges interested in DNA testing at Genforum but so far no
replies. There are a couple of Etheridge websites that I have run across but
haven't been able to attract their administrators attention yet.

Are you interested in starting a website for Etheridge test results? I may
have read that Family Tree DNA may provide web space for one name studies
done with them. Am not sure though.

Take care,
Steve

P.S. It looks like the 21 marker testing has begun to eliminate some of the
genetic cousins on my list with different surnames. Charles Lenert has
written to say we no longer match at the 21 marker level. And I believe Don
Schmidt has his Canterbury cousins results back (there were Schmidts and
Canterburys on our list) and that we no longer match.
