Thank you both for the help. I will consider further testing should the right sale come along. I'm thinking it may be wise to wait a few years to do any further testing to allow for more knowledge to be made known to us. I believe for now I'll just sit back and learn more what there is to...

Thanks pyromaniac. Great explanation. I'm curious how 23andme.com compares with ancestry.com as far as DNA testing is concerned. I noticed 23andme has its own forum here so I assume its probably the best place to start.
