Your welcome Charles.
I'm a newby patiently awaiting my results from FTDNR and trying to steer
people towards The Carr DNA project through my webpage at
www.carr-genealogy.com I know how tedious and frustrating it can be to get
some stupid instruction to work right. If I had to do what John does using
FTDNA 's tools, It would have to be entered into a table in html by hand and
then uploaded. I'm retired and don't have to earn a living but I'm not
willing to spend 8 to 10 hrs a day on just the webpage.
Jim
