Hi,

I recently took part in a survey about how DNA genealogy research has
affected me. They are particularly interest in people with different
ethnic influences in their background. I thought my friends on
Nuestros Ranchos may be interested in participating so I am
forwarding the request to the list.

Hello,

My name is Biorn Ivemark, and I'm a Research Assistant to Professor
Wendy Roth in the Department of Sociology at the University of British
Columbia. Dr. Roth is doing a research study on the social impacts of
DNA Ancestry Testing -- especially whether it has any effect on
identities and attitudes. I recently interviewed someone you know for
this study and they thought you might be willing to participate in an
interview as well.

We're looking to talk to people with a wide range of experiences of
DNA Ancestry Testing, so we'd be very interested in learning about your
experiences regardless of whether the test results had much influence on
you or not.

If you would be willing to help with this project, would you please fill
out a quick online survey at:

http://faculty.arts.ubc.ca/wroth/SurveyIntro.html

It should only take you about 10-15 minutes. It focuses on why you chose
to take the test, your background, your experience with genetic
genealogy testing, and how the results may have affected you.

At the end, it will ask you if you would be interested in being
contacted for a follow-up interview as well. These interviews are done
over the phone, and people who participate in them will be offered $40
to thank them for their time. But regardless of whether you are
interested in the follow-up interview, I hope you will complete the
quick online survey.

If you have any questions about this project, feel free to contact me at
bivemark@interchange.ubc.ca or (778) 848-4945, or contact Dr. Roth at
wroth@interchange.ubc.ca or (604) 822-4845.

Thanks very much for your consideration, and I hope to hear from you
soon!

Kind regards,
Biorn
