Sent $268 for 67 marker Y-DNA test...
See e-mail:

John,

Thanks for agreeing.  It will cost you nothing.  I put a check in the mail.

I’m very grateful; so is Lil.  So are all the other people who have been working the Austin and Riggs Y-DNA Projects and the family trees.

You get started by going to the Family Tree DNA site and asking for:

                                  67 Marker Y-DNA test

The site is :   http://www.familytreedna.com/y-dna-compare.aspx

They will correspond with you by e-mail and in the US Mail. So you have to give them some info. It would be useful if you tell them you are a descendant of Archibald Austin, Jr. and on down.

The 67 marker test should be priced at $268. If it is more, I’ll send you more.

The whole thing is done at your home by you.  A kit will arrive in the mail; it contains a stamped return envelope for the swabs.  All you do is swab your gum/cheeks a couple of times over a couple of days.

After you return the kit, in a few weeks the results will start to arrive at your e-mail.  They will give you a kit number and a password.  Then you can get details on-line. It’s easy.

I will send you the Y-DNA certificates for Lil’s two 1^st cousins.  I think yours will look just like theirs.  I actually hope I’m wrong.

I’ll call again before Oct 6 to talk about a visit.  Lil’s cousin from TX, Nancy Austin Fatheree, will probably be with us.  She is excited to meet you. So are we.

John and Lil
