Mr. Adams, I find it almost laughable that you want to spend someone else's money for them. If this is such a crucial need for history, let history pay for the tests to be done. There are any number of historical foundations around, including the Jefferson foundations, who should be footing the bill since they are the ones with the most at stake. It is interesting that I brought up this subject on a forum for American History and had not a single person interested in this "controversy". I think in the minds of most people the DNA showing that there was Jefferson DNA in the descendents, was enough to convince them that the Madison Hemings story was as likely to be true as the Eston Hemings story.
