Joseph, Since we are on the subject of DNA. How do these folks analyzing the DNA claim to have DNA from our ancestors of 200 years or so in the past? I have told my brother that it is a painless procedure to participate in the study however, he has thrown a bit of caution to the wind. Gracias, Helyn

Multinational DNA results???

Would you mind elaborating a little bit more on this.  I have decided to take a DNA test myself and I'm very interested in your opinions.
