I got my results back, but it came right before I departed for
Thanksgiving and I did not have any matches :( I'm pursuing a lead to
get in touch with some California Dovers who I will try to persuade to
take the test.

I currently maintain web space at www.doverhistory.us which has data for
all my lines. I would be glad to donate a reasonable amount of web space
and administration to the DNA project (additional space is very cheap
with my provider). I can do some design, but would need to know what
people wanted to see on the web site, and would be glad to cede this to
anyone else interested. Let me see what I can gin up in my spare time.
