Drats, I was afraid ancestry.com might not get this done or might be awhile about it.Has been that way every time, either the person never receives the invite or where I have sent the invite has disappeared and not been posted.I also have a tree at rootsweb.If you go to the rootsweb home page and then click on World Family Trees and enter into where it has place for database:LAM51120 or lam51120 it should take you there.Alternatively the name is Graham, Reaves, Stanfill and Crafton (Crafton for my stepdad) and you can run a search for that is LAM51120 does not work.Some folks have gotten on my tree on ancestry.com without an invite but I am not sure how that works.
Thrilled to hear your Dad is interested in yDNA.Check out FamilyTreeDNA.com or type FTDNA in google.There are other companies but not as good for genealogy as FTDNA.Most people end up with FTDNA no matter where they begin.The actual test could not be simpler, you use a Q-tip and swab the inside of your cheek really good and then put Q Tip into vial and mail.No blood or invasive anything.
If your Dad decided to buy a kit, he should check out for the Reaves Group and would get a discount for the cost of the kit.I will be more than happy to offer further help with this procedure.
My late Mother, Mary Lynn Reaves Stanfill Crafton,was the youngest of five daughters of John Benjamin Reaves and Mura Alice Graham.They lived most of their life in Decatur Co TN.But, were born and raised in Wayne Co TN.Ben as he was called was a son of Jasper and was a brother to your Frank Reaves Sr of Halstead Kansas.They left Wayne Co TN early 1900s and went to Ravenden Arkansas and around Imboden.Left there and went to KS.I have more details but not in my mind so much any more.I have quite a few letters from Frank Reaves Jr written from Halstead.He passed in 2002 or was it 2003..........
I have a picture of the Kansas Reaves brothers in their WWII uniforms from a magazine that Frank sent me a copy from.
I will wait to hear from you again.
