I am a little envious of how well your part of the tree is developed. It could be years before another result shows up in my part of the tree.

Hopefully you will get a good prediction from your STR (short tandem repeat) testing. You can also poke around in the DNA results from the surname project and see if you recognize any of the paternal...

I follow progress in the R1b-M222 forum. There are a lot of family traditions being rewritten by DNA testing. Most people eventually get over the loss of an old story and latch on to the...

At the barber shop it was a close shave but everyone made it out by a whisker.

The fire has now spread to the circus...

It is in tents!

I have also found the 13 oz HOE to be quite resistant to wrinkles and quick to release them. I did a 3 hour test drive in my 8 yard 13 oz HOE jut to see how it would behave and what wrinkles did form...
