Lorinda, Thank you for contacting. I know about the National Geographic project, I have done my DNA through Sorenson, some time ago as well. DNA tests has changed a lot, so I decided to do another one this week, to have a deeper information on my maternal side of the family. I hope this will help me with a brick wall that I have at the moment and have enough information for my two daughters.
If you decided at any time to search your maternal side, let me know what you have, as our J group is small, the travelling between the island were common, we may have connection.
