In addition, there are a number of us with Austin Bearse (Massachusetts,
early 1600s) ancestry that purportedly have Indian ancestry due to his
supposed marriage with Mary Hyanno, daughter of a Wampanoag sachem. And
there are others of us who have Gabriel Whelden (again, Massachusetts, early
1600s) ancestry, and he also supposedly married an Indian woman. The Indian
connection is a long-standing dispute that needs some resolution.

Wells were possibly Indian traders or connected to the Indian trade in
the southeast, as the name is listed in the surname index of a three

Alan,
I agree about MSY2, it seems that it would only be of use for genetic
anthropological investigations. This is unfortunate, in that minisatelites
are so easy to type. As far as my article is concerned, at the time, I
contacted a major genealogical periodical. The only thing that I had read
before that on genetic genealogy was done by Thomas Roderick. Of course he
has been talking about this for some time. As you know, years ago he set up
a mtDNA study, in which people submit their DNA sample and and

Please carry out this thread onlist. Family tradition says I am daughter of
a daughter, etc. of a Native American female. I would be interested to learn
about the possibilities of this kind of investigation.

This web site has recently updated its page "A collection of abstracts and
reviews of books, articles, and genetic studies"
http://www.khazaria.com/genetics/abstracts.html
This may appear in your local newspapers. The Dec 7 issue of Nature has an
article about using the entire mtDNA sequence (not just the hypervariable
region) to construct a tree of our deep ancestry. They only used 53 people
from around the world, which seems like a small number, but perhaps using the
whole mtDNA including parts which change more slowly gives a better overview.
I'll be looking for this article in the library.
You can see press releases from various wire services at

Yes indeed, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be used for females. Most of our
DNA is found in the nucleus of the cell, but mitochondria are small
organelles in the cell body (cytoplasm) which have their own DNA. The number
of mitochondria in the egg is huge compared
Ann is correct in her reply since a direct line relationship must be
utilized to accurately trace mtDNA. If you were able to line up your
ancestry in the M-M-M-M-M relationship, Family Tree DNA would have a test
that would benefit you.
Effective 12-1-00 we began taking orders for DNA tests for mtDNA to trace
back to Native American Ancestry. We have added Dr. Theodore Schurr,
Ph.D.as an advisor, to our gene committee. An abridged CV will be listed
at our site as soon as his photo arrives---yet t
Dr. Mark Jobling is in the Department of Genetics, University of Leicester.
He is one of the authors of the Thomas Jefferson study. He also lists another
article about Irish surname distribution (no abstract -- I'll put this on my
to-do list unless someone beats me to it).
Dr Jobling's home page has links to pages with some explanatory material. He
also mentions that he has a surname project in the works but gives no
details. Would someone like to follow up on that?

Dear Orin,
My name is Helen (Wells) Campbell. I am interested in the Molecular
Genealogy blood studies. Do you have any idea of how long these samples of
blood will take to be sorted out?
My American Wells line begins with Timothy Wells who came to America 1780s
then mirgrated to Ohio then into West Virginia. I know very little on this
side of the tree, of course it is said we are Irish. I found most of theis
on my own research family heritage wasn't discussed.
Beams,
Helen

The below site offers a special paper for DNA storage. At $10.00/ person it
seems promising. I suspect the 3.00 kit for Kids identification is the same
thing except for the labeling.
I've saved a few of my children's baby teeth which always have a small amount
of pulp . Adult teeth have the pulp inside which is even better for
preservation. I probably should put them in dry salt or something to cut down
on fungus. I know this isn't very high tech bu

I think there's a good chance that mtDNA sequence analysis of the
hypervariable region, performed by http://www.oxfordancestors.com, could
reveal Native American ancestry in a maternal line, although not at a
specific tribal level. Their web site focuses on seven European "clans" where
they have the most information, but their database is quite extensive and
includes mtDNA variants from around the world.
These variants are classified into "haplogroups" based on common patterns
found in various marker
