Hello
Joseph,


class=721434317-21042004>    Please keep us up to date on your
results.  I've been interested in this myself, but I had thought that it
could only be done with samples from a male member of the family.  I
had been working on my brother to do this.  He's a criminalist and has
access to computer software that tests DNA for solving crimes, etc.,  As a
test, he and other co-workers ran DNA on their blood samples--I'm sure it
wasn't as detailed as this project.  The results concluded that he had DNA
that was consistant with being descended from two individuals who had some
similar DNA.  He and the only other Hispanic had the same results. 
:)  He was told that this was common in small towns.  Of course by
then, I had already connected some of my lines.  Interesting, huh?  I
find the Jewish link interesting too being that I have a Perez
line.


class=721434317-21042004>    Could you give us more info on
the procedure?

[ranchos] DNA Testing

This is not directly related to our
geographical areas of research but of general importance to our geneological
advancement

Just wanted to share this message sent to me by George
Gause on DNA testing. It is so interesting that connections were made and now
they are striving to make the paper connection. I became part of the DNA
testing project about 3-4 weeks ago. My results are not back yet but I'd like
to encourage some of you to be part of this project as well.

have come up as exact genetic matches. This means that we have a same common
ancestor. I think the common ancestor is Diego de Villarreal my 9th great
grandfather who was born in 1601. We are working at tracing Ed's family tree
and are within one generation away from Diego. We are just trying to figure
which son he came from.  One common finding is that we are classified as
Haplogroup E3b which means we are of Jewish origins and our closest genetic
cousins so far are mostly Eastern European Jews.  A small percentage of
Sephardic Jews or Spanish Jews are Ashkenazi Jews. I have made big leaps in my
own research and have found more than one Villarreal family in
