I myself have already paid for two tests besides my own because I knew they
probably wouldn't pay the costs themselves and go into similar heart failure
if they saw the bill. This dna testing could get more expensive than
traditional genealogy research real quick.

I think I just about sent an 87 year old, just found, fourth cousin once
removed to an early grave. I guess I hadn't made clear that I was paying for
the test and emailed him that the kit was on its way. I received an email
saying

Hal; Cancel the dna test, an afford it.
Bud

Guess he had taken a closer -- or first -- look at the web site. His message
was sure a lot more gentle than mine would have been if I thought someone
had pulled that on me!
