4. Aside from the hope it could give clues on my brick walls

I don't see a compelling reason to get DNA testing. But my sister has been talking it up. I sent her the article and she go onto the autosomal DNA that Nat Geo does as being better. Her motivations are completely different than mine so I told her if she wants to go ahead for the Nat Geo test. She has the money to spend on it.

I'm very tempted to try the Ancestry then port it over to Family Tree DNA for the first two steps that the Legal Genealogist recommends. If it helps at all with knocking down brick walls, that's be great. But I just spent a bunch on a new all in one printer scanner that scans 11" x 17" for my old scrapbooks. I've had little time for genealogy since last August what with all the scanner and organizing those scans I've done.

Maybe in the fall. Waiting won't hurt - the price keeps going down!
