Sandra and antiscipated participants....just my two cents here, but being
involved in our Smothers DNA project...I would like to encourage you to do
the 25 marker instead of the 12 marker....this puts your Common Ancestor
down to 7 generations, much easier to see better results at 7 generations
instead of 14! We cant get past our 4x grandfather so it makes it difficult
to try to come up with 14 generations.
For example....the lst DNA we had done on 2 TX Smothers....[my brother's
still not in] BUT...now the Smothers 1 has 6 matches and NONE of them are
Smothers! but they do match on all 12 markers.....I am going nuts trying to
figure out how they matched! LOL Nena
[I still encourage the DNA though and Family Tree is really the only one
that does it in USA and is well documentated and reliable].
