Howdy Joe,

FTDNA does send me the DNA matches along with the email address of that
person.
It shows the y marker data, what the genetic distance is, name and email
address.

I have emailed everyone thats very close.

One person has not responded to my email requests. Maybe their email address
is no longer valid. Maybe they want privacy.
The surname is PAGE and there were PAGEs in Georgia and lived in and around,
but what else can I do?

Robert Duke
