did he do it thru the Felix study or just on his own? I haven't heard of 
the 9 marker test. Was this awhile back? I thought that 12 was minimum, 
but probably my lack of knowledge is showing through.

Well I think it would be better to let Gary Felix know about it and post 
it there. I would be willing to post the results in the files area but 
truthfully they would be there only to encourage other members to 
consider doing their own DNA study. On Gary Felix's site he could guide 
you and help with some understanding and other readings to get up to 
speed on the subject if you needed it.
I also know there are at least two databases where you can post the 
results to see if you match up to anyone.
I'm going to include Gary Felix in this conversation to see if he would 
like to comment at this time.
