Hi Jean,
Thank you so very much - I am soooo excited excited

I have upgraded my kit to National Geographic, have received the results. Now I can trace the migration of my ancestors 31,000 to 79,000 years ago.
It is just stunning, amazing, staggering and mind bogling what they can do with a DNA sample

Well, I trust that you will enjoy a lovely day/evening and once again thank you.

Gillian,

I must confess that I am trying to dissipline myself in doing things that needs to be done.
It is very true - I am finding it hard to pull myself away form the (Comp)

computer.

Well, I am very happy that I have decided to make use of a DNA test.
I have found the following in my inbox on my return from town - you might want to look at it.

This one is free but you will have to wait about a year before youre results will be on their web.
We don't receive any results, this is the LDS project.

Thanks Karin, I have had a look at both these sites but I shall have to find out more before I decide what to do. It is all very interesting but I struggle to understand the finer points!! I expect a lot of people do. However, knowing how useful it has been to you makes me give it serious thought.

We are having a lovely day here. It is hot although overcast from time to time.

Cheers Gillian

Hi Carole, Gillian, Jean, Daz and list,

I have been in Johannesburg for a few days and were are leaving for Cape Town on Thursday. We will be away for two weeks.
Serfie my husband needs to see the Oncologist in the Cape. He has a melanomma in his eye and the only unit in SA to treat cancer of the eye are in Cape Town.

Daz, may I ask you a favour curtsey

please?
I am putting a little booklet together on my grandfather for the family and I would like to know if I may use two of your poems?
The one on "My family are like stars" and "When I am gone"
If you don't mind may I please alter the Northen Star to Southern Star or the Southern Cross?
I will acknowledge the change if I may use it.

Well guys, until next time please keep well,

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful Sunday,

wave

Karin.

Hi Karin

What a pity that you have such health problems to concern your family. Let us hope that your visit to Cape Town is successful and please give your husband our very best wishes. He is in our thoughts.

I believe Daz is out of the country for a week or two so he may not reply for a short while unfortunately.

With all good wishes for a happy outcome, Gillian
