I am interested in obtaining a DNA test and I wanted to know which company do you suggest I use? I can be reached via email or thru your post. My email account is tyingtheknot@gmx.com

@krucialred26 LOL! I was hoping someone would tell me! I need to get tests for our grandkids. The company that my wife and I used several years ago (DNAPrint Genomics) went under. I am looking at familytreeDNA, 23AndMe, and ancestryByDNA. If you wish, once we decide, I could let you know the reasons for our choice.

Do you plan to do a lecture on lynchings?

[frankwsweet]

@Haseeb2 I was not planning one, no. There are already several Youtube videos talking about the lynchings, and showing the photos from the early 20th-C. I am not sure that I would have much to add to the story. Did you have anything specific in mind?

Where's Dr. Mengele to help us solve these difficult questions when we need him? I think I chose 'other' - Annunaki

@frankwsweet No, it was just a passing thought.
