Hi Denis,I didn't think anyone had compiled something. I just figured maybe someone had happened to find this same couple in their research.Judging from what you and João Lopes say, it looks like these could all be related people, just not the exact ones I am looking for.I appreciate your tip. I

Yes, it is possible for one brother to have a different mutation or value. You can think of mutations in terms of a copy machine. You want 25 copies. You get 25. Then next time you get 25. But another time you do it, the machine somehow gives you 24. That also happens when the chromosomes
