Paul,

Thanks for the note. Couldn't agree more that genealogy is a lot of fun.
Have been doing genealogical research for over 25 years and have published
nine books. Both mtDNA and Y chromosone testing have piqued my curiosity. A
couple of my friends have set up groups for some DNA testing regarding east
European genealogical issues. I was just curious what the response would be
from this list group.

Regards,
Leo
