[RASEY-DNA] New Member #110919, with results, desc/o Joseph RAZEE I

[Jim Tyler]

Hi Diana,
My condolences on your family loss.
Perhaps it is time to underwrite another test of of a Joseph
RASEY descendant. To that I extent I will subscribe to the 12 marker test of
a volunteer.
Maybe some folks are put out by the results of Duane's test and are
reluctant to know the truth. We should mention that they receive a neat
certificate of their haplotype group. I will leave it up to you to post to
the RASEY Rootsweb letter.
Enjoy the holiday,
Jim
