1. [DNA] DNA Results [1]
I received a call from Bennet at FTDNA He let me know when to expect the rest of the test results for my great uncle. He did however look at the last set of markers that were in on my uncle and told me they matched my brother exactly. So it appears my brother is my full brother thank goodness! So even though the NA didnt show up for him in the DNA print like it did for my sister and myself it has to be there. I thank Bennet for the results and his honesty even though it will more than likely raise a few m

3. [DNA] Please define what is an Irish prognathic face [1]
Please define what's an Irish progrnathic face symbolic of 'the oldest people in Europe'? I've seen that line several times in articles noting a prognathic Celtic face found in Ireland resembling early Paleolithic migrations, described as broad-faced, same also found in Russia during Ice Age. Anyone know why what's described as prognathic faces are noted in articles of currently living people in Ireland and also around Lake Ladoga in Russia? Is this mentioned because it's supposed to be evidence of Pa
4. Re: [DNA] PA German/PA Dutch Ethnic Group DNA Project--three more DNAPrint test results received [1]
Lisa, Did the Germans you speak of in southern NY state call themselves PA Deutsch, or self identify themselves as PA Deutsch descendants at any point in time, because prior to getting to southern NY state their immigrant ancestors settled first and lived in PA? Many PA Deutsch continued to migrate farther inland and upstate after the French and Indian Wars. If so, then they qualify as PA German because their ancestors were PA Germans. Also, some early Germans were settled in NY in 1709 and then many later

7. Re: [DNA] Possible Correlations between Blood Groups and Y-DNA Haplogroups [1]
Technically your husband is carrying genes for A and O, but the A is dominant and the O is recessive in your husband's case. Thus your husband's genes are AO. And you are carrying genes which are both O or thus OO. And since you have two O's you can only contribute an O gene to your children. Your husband can either contribute an A or an O. Thus the two of you are able to produce children with OO and thus would test as O blood type just like you, which apparently happened for 3 out 5 of your children. The

The following link to a BBC website sheds further details on the statement by Luca Cavalli-Sforza.www.bbc.co.uk/history/genes/population/myth.shtlm In brief it states that although there is no genetic link between the Basques and the Welsh/Irish Celts as far as mitachondrial DNA is concerned there is a very definite Y chromosome link. This is then discussed in terms of population migration within Europe. ***************************************************** > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "

Hello Beth: I would be more than pleased to offer an objective review of your book. May the evidence speak loudly. Might I assume that you might conceivably conclude that my great grandfather Rev. William Hipkin of Lincolnshire England (whose heirlooms came down to me) decided to become a Congregational minister (he started out in the Methodist faith, but became disillusioned - somewhere in his diaries he gives his reason why) because he had a crypto - Jewish background? :-) With best wishes, Dav
10. Re: [DNA] Blood Group B and Neolithic Origin [1]
An O plus a A doesn't give a B. An O and an AB might. I think I would get retested. Mistakes can be made. Both my parents are O positive. In college I tested as O positive. When I first gave blood the donor card said O negative. At a blood test years later - I was O positive.

18. Re: [DNA] New to this list [1]
As the Y-DNA is passed from father to son, what about father's brother (my uncle) to his son? My father died when I was in high school and I have no brothers. Would it be worth it to get DNA from the only surviving male in my father's line, my cousin? (My uncle, Dad's one brother died several years ago.) Just curious, just wondering.

Thank you Ann, Penny, Kay, Malcom for all info. Yes Ann, I know of Dr. Martmnez Cruzado's work since one of the members of our Genealogical society was among the student researchers. He is a prof at the west coast Mayag|ez University of Puerto Rico Campus (RUM we call it) which is a leading facility for scientific investigations. In contrast to what he has found (that there are more mtDNA than yDNA Indian descendants), in my genealogical investigations I have found more male and less women aborigines,
20. RE: [DNA] Chinese Fleet - "1421" [1]
Roberta, Few historians would agree with you on that. The book is selling well, true, but it's not convincing the experts. You may want to read some of the reviews of it on Amazon.com, for instance, including from some Chinese readers. I have examined it, but not actually read it, because of the negative reviews it has received from historians. It struck me as "revisionist history" in the vein of Barry Fell or Erich von Daniken. There is an earlier book,"When China Ruled the Seas" about the Treasure Flee

Steve: I hope John Chandler will answer you, and I'm sure he will; however, you need not understand any more than what DNAPrint genomics, Inc. says, themselves, about the accuracy of their 2.0 BGA test. On the very last page of the User Manual, in the FAQ section, they explain "Error in the test." The important quotation, here, is this: "...as we have also explained, there is a second type of error called statistical error, and the contours in your triangle plot show the boundaries of statistical confid
22. Re: [DNA] Haplotypes, Haplogroups, etc. [1]
Ann, thanks for the comprehensive answer to my questions. There is an earlier (1987) version of the mtDNA chart at: http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~landc/html/cann/ That one had 134 different types of mtDNA. You've answered my question about numbers for the types of DNA: potentially thousands of types for mtDNA vs. millions for Y-DNA. For my "Kelly sisters" project, if my two test subjects have a match, I should have a good piece of evidence - much better than when I was thinking "seven daughters." If t

David, That's reasonable - perhaps the Greek, Italian, etc are Americans of mixed heritage, but don't realize it. The paper doesn't give enough background to determine this. However, the odds of four such Euro-Americans all participating in one study seem extremely low, unless such high NA is very, very common - which makes no sense among non-Hispanic whites, for historical reasons. Also, note Figure 1, which shows how "pure" certain Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans show up, thus validating the

I seriously doubt the Romans made it to America. The Vikings, yes, the Irish, perhaps, but the Romans? The evidence of a hoard of Roman coins in Boston (or was it New York) Harbor cannot be taken as anything other than what it is: probably somebody's coin collection washed overboard, lost, etc. If a drastic earthquake or other calamity buried the local bank, and then, some several hundreds of years later, some archaeologist would find a small Roman coin collection. Proof the Romans were here? Hardly. Mary
