Thanks Maggie,

Submitting at least 4 generations would be good in finding your results.
That would work for a couple people I know. I have another relative and his
father comes from a Sioux Indian reservation in South Dakota and his father
was adopted so I don't think that he would be able to go back 4 generations.
Thanks for the info!

Jim
