I received/sent off my DNA kit two weeks ago this coming Thursday; Identigene received my packet on the 24th.
No notation on their website that they even received the kit; I called them and they stated that I am looking up to March 24th for my results.
I called a week after I sent my kit in and they said they had it. It was about 2 weeks before it showed up on the website. To let you know they don't put your results on the site either. Not sure why they have that part, if they aren't going to add anything there but checks.
I had the ethnology DNA test done ...I was tired of folks thinking I'm a wanna be...I am over 1/4 ndn. But I've been unable to trace to a Dawes roll yet.
My family was VERY secretive.
The names I'm searching in the SE are:
Martin, Nancy AJ born 1834 she married 3 times Lewis Watkins born 1833, Wilson L. Culberson born 1834 and Seaborn Rowell born 1853 (last one is suspicious).
One of Nancy's daughters is Martha Ann/Mattie Watkins she and her son Charles Howard Rowell born 1871 virtually disapear off the census records prior to 1900. Based on my DNA testing Charles was indian and Martha was possibly a mixed breed.
They were all located in GA/AL at one time or another around the muscogee/Harris Co. areas.
My other search is the Reed family Sara Elizabeth McGee brn 1870 IL and John Arthur Reed brn 1867 IN.
It's highly unlikely I'll ever be able to enroll in a tribe but I would like to know my tribal heritage. Unfortunatly DNA testing is not that far along yet. They can only "guesstamate" your % of ndn DNA.
Good idea Mississipienne!
Mine are concentrated in New England, Quebec, Newfoundland, New Brunswick & Nova Scotia and going back to, mostly Ireland and England.
Surnames include:
Donovan
Watson
Cahill
Clark
Amor
Beaupre
Gale
Poor
Roach
Trainor
Yeah, I'm a little Irish

I sent my kit in about January 16th; called Identigene earlier this week and they received the packet on the 24th.
And; Identigene told me that I will be looking up till March 24th for my results.

Hmm wonder why they said it would take so long for your results..Unless they are that backed up. I got my results back after 5 half weeks. I hope you get it sooner than they are saying. Thats alot of money to dish out and in an email they sent me, I was told the results take6-8 weeks to be complete. They do have message board on the website you can get on there and type in your complaint to them IDENTIGENE - Message Boards for DNA Testing (broken link)

They told that that '6-8 weeks' bit as well when I called Identigene this past Tuesday.
I've never really been that interested in genealogy. I mean there's nothing wrong with knowing information on your ancestors and what happened many years ago but it just never appealed to me.
I might get started in the future, though. Are there any family tree-making programs for Windows that someone could recommend? If I could organize the information better than maybe I'd find it more interesting.

Yes you can goto Staples or Office Depot or any department store to pick up the Family Tree Maker software.. or you can goto genealogy.com or rootsweb.com or ancestry.com and buy it through them.
I've used the Mormon website and found it very helpful. They also have software you can download to make your family tree for free. FamilySearch.org - Search
Still waiting here for my test results; it has been almost 3 weeks now, probably another 2-3 weeks here.
