If really interested, there are two that I know of and probably more will be 
popping up along the way, since they've broken the code on DNA.

The one I was talking about is the one that is being conducted by Prof. 
Scott Woodward of BYU (Brigham Young University) he and others are  
conducting a large research project to construct a genealogy
library based on DNA. Their goal to put it simply, is to construct a family 
tree for the human race.

To read about the project go to their website:

I recently watched a PBS special about how Scott Woodward and others went to 
Egypt to gather DNA to try and make a geanealogy chart for the Pharaohs.  
Their goal is what attracted me.  They are also privately funded.  Not like 
the next one I will mention.


The other one is: The Human Genome Project and haven't read about them yet.  
I'm leaning more towards the the one being conducted by Scott Woodward.  
This one is funded by the government.  You can read about them at:

Where can I donate!

Would sure solve a lot of genealogical questions for me!
Wouldn't that be great to find out about the "Indian
Princess" story was true, or the "Rabbi turned Catholic"
story was true. I sometimes think my family told stories
just to confuse the poor soul ((me)) who dared try to chart
the family pedigree!
