Paxton DNA Donations

[C_R_Paxton_1800]

What do you think about designating someone from the Paxton research group to hold funds collected for the purpose of paying for additional Paxton surname DNA 32 point testing? I really would like to see Paxton lines from Ohio, Western PA, Maryland, New Jersey, and other states get involved in this DNA tracking project. Just think if we could get 100, 50, or even 25 Paxton's from other states to agree to be tested, how this would impact our research. What are your thought's in this matter? Is this possible?

Thanks for your reply.

Craig and other Paxtons:

There is a general fund for each Surname project available at Family Tree DNA.  Details on how you could donate to the fund are at the Family Tree DNA project web site at http://www.familytreedna.com/group-general-fund-contribution.aspx.  Once money goes into the fund, it is my responsibility to allocate the funds to new prospective member tests; I would, of course, work with the donors of the funds on how those funds would be used.

Let me know if you have questions.
