I'm interested in doing both lines. Both of my parents are deceased. Do I understand correctly that the testee should be the oldest person you can find? For example, on my mother's side I could do her sister who is 89 yrs. old and on my father's side I could do my brother who is 70 yrs. old? Thank you so much for your time. You people have been so helpful in helping me sort all this out. Nell On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 10:55:24 AM UTC-4, Doug Holmes wrote:
