DNA Testing - Kayes from Belgium and England



Y-Line Signature

I was introduced to DNA testing by the KAY Family Association as part of their Project 50 DNA Study. If you are interested in contacting the Kay Association, please e-mail Peter Cameron. Besides introducing me a very interesting area of genealogy that I had not known about, they generously sponsored two DNA tests for Kayes from Belgium.

Internet

DNA Testing is an incredible new area for genealogy. Although individual tests are still expensive, the information provided by DNA testing can bring new insight to a family tree. Here is a sample of interesting internet sites:
