[Hooper] DNA thing

[WadeGlasck@aol.com]

Hi again

A couple of days ago I posted a message about possibly starting a Hooper DNA 
project.  I've received several private e-mails from people wanting to know 
more.
I'd like to get a gauge of how many people are considering the project and 
how soon you think you could start.  If everybody with an interest could post 
a short message about which Hooper line they are interested in and whether 
they have a candidate to test on that line and about when they would be ready 
for testing that would be great.  Also post your response to the list so that 
everyone can see it.
I guess I can start.  I am a descendant of Jesse Hooper.  He was born in 1758 
probably in South Carolina.  He was a soldier in the Georgia Militia during 
the Revolutionary War.  He moved to Davidson County (present-day Cheatham 
County), Tennessee about 1800.  He died in Tennessee in 1839.  As far as 
testing goes.  My mother has two male Hooper first cousins.  Neither of them 
has the slightest interest in genealogy.  I'll have to try and convince one 
of them somehow to take the test and I'll end having to pay for it.  I have 
no idea how long that will take or if I'll even be able to get them to do it.
I guess now is as good a time as any to discuss the price of the test.  There 
are two phases to the testing.  The first part they call the low resolution 
(12 marker) test.  This test gives you a general idea of which test results 
may be those of related individuals.  With a group (6 or more tests ordered) 
price the cost of this is $99 per test.  The second phase is the high 
resolution (25 marker ) test.  The group price is $90 per test.  This refines 
the previous test and shows which tests are definitely those of related 
individuals.  The second phase is optional.  The reason you may not want to 
continue with the second phase would be if in the first phase your results 
are so vastly different from those of the other participants that it is 
obvious there is no relationship, you can skip the second half and save $90.
Thanks.
