Hi all,
I just got my mtDNA results from FTDNA, and I want to find out more.
The result was 16126C 16163G 16186T 16189C 16294T and I was told I'm in
haplogroup T.
Is there a website I can visit to learn more about what this means?
Thanks.
Michael

Yes it is Ann. I read several - most intersting, I saved some for
future enlightenment. The first article - they weren't as ignorant as we
probably think back in the 1300's! Or put another way - just how far
have we really come in many ways?

We've never seen an example of a BYU report, so we'll have to cross that
bridge when we come to it. If their tests for your special report are limited

Assuming that the religious argument is true, that is, that we are all
descendants of Adam and Eve, from the perspective of race relations, it
isn't relevant.
The net impact is that from a sociological and psychological standpoint, we
feel most comfortable with those closest to us. That would be those
individuals who in the PRESENT, are linked to us, not those from thousands
of years ago.
Just a thought and a different take on the discussion. Quite an interesting
topic, I must say.

Y chromosomes are inherited ONLY from male to male; never through
females, so that NO offspring from the illegitimate female would have
the Y chromosome from the putative father. OR, am I missing something
here in this story?

BYU and Oxford response: I really am not sure what the BYU study is about, but the ad I originally saw for it was misleading and said you could learn about your ethnic roots by participating. This is only true in the most general sense and will not be available for years in the future. The Oxford study gives you results in a few weeks, but as a list member pointed out, gives you only the most ancient of hints about ethnicity.

I often thought of how to approach a branch of our family, that we are

Thanks!
I'd think one would need to sit down and plan out the whole proposal before
even approaching them. You'd almost have to be a salesman in a chequered
suit.

Hi all,
I have a request somewhat similar to one posted here
yesterday.
Someone with whom I may be distantly related (mid-16th
century or earlier) in Switzerland is going to create
a webpage inviting others to participate in a project
to analyze Y-chromosomes in order to check for any
relationship of those with Bricker/Brucker/Bruecker/
Brugger/Bruegger surnames. He'd like at least one
hyperlink to another website in German explaining the
logistics and results of other DNA projects of this
sort. Does anyo
With the caveats that I'm just beginning to learn about DNA and I have
only read about Syke's book - not actually read it, I worry that Prof.
Sykes may be causing more problems with his fanciful interpretations of
pre-history than good. (Perhaps as I did with my Mi-Wuk Indian story on
a much smaller scale.)
It is my understanding that mtDNA, not being in the nucleus of the cell,
has no effect on a person's genetics or health - if this is wrong, I'm
sure I'll be corrected.
Also, if the Portuguese sailor t

I came across Spencer Wells earlier and pretty much know which family he
came from. So far I haven't gotten his attention for the Wells DNA study.
He is located in England although he was born in the US and attended

Maybe, Maybe not. It would depend on the particular locus in question I would
think. It's been pointed out earlier that some loci mutate at a faster rate
than others. Look at the "Group 1" chart on the Stidham DNA results page at:
