Frequently we forget that when we have a single, special topic we should see if RootsWeb offers a site specific to it. If not, perhaps one is needed. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/DNA/ for specific families ... http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Medical_Genealogy/ for medical * including Medical-Pedigree Even with the specific family, if you don't find yours, the people on one of those lists will probably be much better versed and able to help you. There are some good books out -- check your online library catalog. One such paperback (inexpensive) book is "Trace Your Roots with DNA," using genetic tests to explore your family tee by Megan Smolenyak and Ann Turner (Rodale Books). We need to also remember to change (or add to as I've done above) the Subject line. Many of us receive so many e-mails, for one reason or another, that we simply 'delete off' when the subject at hand is not there. Just don't have time to read them all ..... what does "Digest V06#352" tell us ... that we can retrieve the message - but I want to know what the subject is that you're writing about - I think all of us are willing to help when and where we can but we should remember not to depend on all our answers from 'lists,' otherwise we may leave much needed information on the floor. Nothing like doing the investigation/reading for yourself.
