What is the best way to go about developing interest in people with your surname to do DNA testing for genealogy? I can find names and addresses in the white pages and then send out a letter to see if they are into genealogy and have an interest. But it seems too forward and I'm a bit afraid of possibly advertising this. Or would it be better to just start your own homepage and add the DNA interest to it? Let those interested find you. Also I have put queries out on some gen message boards. Would love to know what others think.

Dear Labybug,
