Sounds like a peculiar product to me. I'm of Lithuanian extraction, and I
expect the odds are overwhelming good that I have no Sub-Saharan, Pacific

Wilson and definitely, as soon as we get the 18 marker Y-STR (regular

a view of putting on a huge blitz to get it ready in ....................
well I can't give an estimate as we are not sure how long it will be before
the finishing touches are put on this puppy. People clearly want this, and
we want to be the first and only true one stop shopping company for all
genetic genealogy testing needs. We are motivated and we are focused in
relation to this test (at last) and it has gone up to the highest priority
