[Hooper] Hooper Project Summer Update

[WadeGlasck at aol.com]

Hello all,

To date 43 Hooper men have participated in and received results in the Hooper 
family DNA project. Nine distinct Hooper lineages are represented. So far all 
the participants have been from the U.S. 
More information is available at <A HREF="http://www.hooperconnections.com/dnaintro.html">

Because of the way that the DNA is inherited only males are able to 
participate. Moreover only males with an unbroken male only Hooper line can 
participate. As a general rule, men with the last name Hooper.
It is possible to test your line even if you aren't a male Hooper. My own 
Hooper lineage is on the maternal side of my family. I got a cousin to take the 
test to prove our Hooper relationship from our ancestor Jesse Hooper (born 
1758). Co-opting brothers, fathers, cousins, etc to test your own line is always 
an option.
Be sure and visit the results page for the project by using the link from the 
DNA page mentioned above.
It may also be possible to get a free test kit. Details on this are available 
by visiting <A HREF="http://www.hooperconnections.com/fundingfrontpage.html">http://www.hooperconnections.com/fundingfrontpage.html</A>
For those of you having reunions this year, there is a short two page 
presentation about the Hooper DNA project available for you to print out and use to 
help familiarize people about the project. Let me know if you would like a 
copy.
Thank you to everyone for making the Hooper project the success that it is.
Have a great Summer.

Wade Glascock
