asked a simple question which is this.  There a couple of DNA studies. One done by a group of very well known scholars who are no associated with any pro-or anti-jefferson organization (it included Joe Ellis who was, before the study, on record as denying TJ was the father of Sally's children. Then there are the studies done by a group who were only interested in refuting the first study, and who are, as they state themselves, defenders of Jefferson. I think it is not unreaonable for people who make "claims" to identify their studies.

I actually do not know if Mr. Barger was part of the first study of the second so I thought he should tell us.

I made no false claims -- or for that matter any claims -- about anything in my previous post.  I asked a question. That is all.

Here we go again with the false claims.  Go to this link for your answer 
that you know so well, without asking, Paul, and for many other answers to 
false claims about Thomas Jefferson:
http://newsbusters.org/node/14082  (Check the many sub-links)

Anne, here is a 'kind' review of the book that you claim demonstrates lies 
by Thomas Jefferson.  Are you sure you read this book or just looked for a 
few 'good parts' (like in high school) or more likely conjured them up?
