That 171 figure you heard about is the US postage if it was mailed in the US.

It is $1.71, a dollar and 71 cents.

At 37 markers, my own 4th cousin once removed is a GD of -2.

At 67, we are a GD of -3.

Same surname? No, which is to be expected in various cultures.

Of course the Irish project is a possibility, but is is ridiculous to join a geographic project without proper documentation. Surnames are meaningless, especially since we don't know what his surname is....

I don't suggest that you join an Irish or a Scots group until you know you are from either of those places, or find a close match in one of those places.

Why not just join the I1 project?

Chalk it up to a poor reading. Sorry.

[rucksack]

So far, this confirms my double questioning to them....

[rucksack]

Nice to hear, but contrary to what they told me, twice....

[rucksack]

Don't be so sure there.

Without those of us that aren't adopted, and we often have good paper trails, there would be no fire for the adoptee to enjoy.

The fever goes both ways, believe me. ...
