Thank you for the comments and suggestions. I still have hope that I will get my answer someday.It is unfortunate, but scarves and the like will not help. I have tested several objects of that sort but either the DNA present on them was too degraded by age or the items were contaminated by other peoples DNA. With this thing, I must have definitive proof.If I am not a Presley that's OK, but I want

Hi Folks,We learned about and tested another possible Elvis Presley DNA sample from a man in Hollywood. After genetic comparison by a lab, the results were determined inconclusive. We are still motivated to pursue this and are talking steps to secure yet another sample for DNA paternity testing. This latest test was the fifth one we've done.

Elvis Presley and Touch DNAI have been discouraged by my inability to find viable Elvis Presley DNA. To do DNA testing, the sample must have tissue, blood or saliva in sufficient amounts for a lab to extract a profile. We have found that no one has Elvis blood, etc. for sale. In fact, even if there was a good sample available to me, it would be almost 32 years old. Age degradation is an issue and

Hi Folks,A while ago, I asked a couple of the guys I've met at local jams and events to help me put together a few songs for a demo cd. They agreed to do it, so I scheduled a practice session right away. We met and talked about our rehearsal schedule. Don King, the rhythm guitarist, told Dick Barnes, who plays upright bass, and I that he was leaving in three weeks for Florida to spend the winter.

Hi everyone, we are still looking for DNA and currently are pursuing at least one possible source. This is taking soooooooo long. I may be a senior citizen before I find out whether or not this is true, but I intend to continue until I know the truth. I would really love to play out and take jobs playing music, but I think it would be inappropriate at this time to do so. Tim

Hello folks, Well, the DNA testing didn't work out like we had hoped. It was a long shot, but worth a try. Otherwise, we are still moving forward on several fronts, including other DNA sources. If anyone out there knows of a possible DNA source, PLEASE let me know. I will look into it immediately. My original goal still holds true and that is to find out who my father is. Tim

Hi Folks: It's still a waiting and searching game at this point. Sometimes I don't think I will ever find out for sure. I have begun to get out and play music at local area jam sessions and at a tavern in town on one night a week. Everyone is cool about it. I have missed performing for so long. It is wonderful and I enjoy it more than I can say. I wrote to a Senator today and asked that they go

Another question I get asked all the time is "Why did you wait so long to do this if you knew about it in 1978?" The answer is simple. There was no way to prove my mother's claim then; now there is. In 1978 I was 23 years old with no resources. Now I am older, wiser and more confident. My mother and I didn't discuss this during those years because I asked her to stop talking to the media about
