Subject: [DNA] United Empire Loyalist DNA Registry Project
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 16:34:09 -0600


>From Dr. Faux:

""Plans include working closely with the United Empire Association of Canada
with the ultimate goal being the establishment of a registry of the DNA
signatures of all Loyalists who meet the criteria as established by the
Association."

Once the DNA signature of Loyalists are established, what would/should the
implications be to UELAC members who think they are Loyalists but do not
match the established DNA signature of their established Loyalist ancestor?

Beyond the implications of this project for UELAC members, it could breach
the final barrier among skeptics of DNA testing as an essential tool in the
kit of all genealogists.

This project is going to be even more interesting than it initially appears.
