Cassie,
Since you are a prominent Elam researcher, I would love to have you join the Elam DNA Project. This project is still in its infancy so we need many more participants to begin to see what the DNA can tell us about the Elam lines.
If you have any questions you can email me at beckygrizz(at)yahoo(dot)com.
BTW, John Grizzle married Elizabeth Elam, that is our Elam connection. Elizabeth was the daughter of Thomas Elam and Elizabeth Bevin.
Thanks,
Becky Griswold
