      I have my DNA & that of my late uncles, a kit ancestory.com --it might be helpful for you to have our DNA and see how this all fits?
      I am older and not that brilliant on DNA. I am hopeful that you would be willing to work it thru your network of DNA.
      I would also like to speak to you & pick you brain instead of writing endless emails.
