Thank you Chuck for giving us a heads up on this article.  My family has 
chosen to test through Family Tree DNA and have been satisfied with results. 
They have been upfront and honest without enhancing their findings.  We are 
sometimes frustrated but also excited when we have found close matches with 
both African and European beginnings.  My MTDNA revealed that I was not 
exactly"white bread" ...and belonged to a smaller "Eve" group than most with 
roots in the Middle Eastern/Greece/Northern Spain and my YDNA was  as 
traditionally thought, Northern European.  My male African American match 
also found that he was predominately Northern European as was his mother and 
grandmother!  The strangest part of the MTDNA was a group of people in 
Finland called "Skolt Sami" who all descend from the same "Eve" and who have 
only been in that area for the last thousand years.  Newcomers in the world 
of DNA and migration of mankind. DNA testing has offered us some insight 
into our past but with no positive answers historically speaking.  It is 
still up to those of us with matches to figure out "who" was the  common 
ancestor in the mid to late 1700's in Virginia.
