How do I know this isnt just a scam to steal money on the Internet?
Anyone could claim to be a CURL researcher and collect lots of money for nothing. A. The coordinators are NOT asking anyone to send them money. All payments for tests go directly to Family Tree DNA. They are a reputable firm doing many family reconstruction projects. You can check them out on the Genealogy-DNA-L@rootsweb.com list at rootsweb, or look at the Gravesfa.org site where they are supplying tests for this elaborate project. The coordinators have no financial interest in Family Tree DNA. The coordinators are long time researchers of the CURL line. You can see Clarence Curl’s file at this link Curl Family History Q. I just dont understand all this DNA and genetics.
