1. [DNA] Online dictonaries for technical terms [1]
Many times you will find a term defined in a specialty dictionary http://biotech.icmb.utexas.edu/search/dict-search.html However, I also like to check alternative dictionaries at http://www.onelook.com. Sometimes the meaning becomes clearer in different contexts. For example: Word of the day (found in the Richards article http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~macaulay/papers/richards_2000.pdf, which I posted yesterday in a message without a header [bad Ann]) autochthonous -- originating where it is found, in

3. [DNA] Jewish genealogy study (Ostrer & Hammer) [1]
This page is not dated, but I believe it's current. Drs. Harry Ostrer and Michael Hammer are conducting a DNA study of migration patterns and historical communities. They are recruiting from members of the Jewish Genealogical Society, but some of the points they make are of interest to all of us. They say "This window for studying Jewish history from the genetic record is closing as rapid changes occur in Jewish demography." That applies to many other ethnic communities as well. I also found the layou

5. Re: [DNA] DNA tests and future descendants [1]
DNA banking has a number of different benefits... 1) People with large estates like to have their DNA available for testing after they die. This can be used to either help protect their estate, or for convenience to those that may need to prove their beneficiary standing. Many times the DNA's location, and consent to testing, will be mentioned in the Last Will and Testament. 2) Having DNA available from members of the family that have had cancer helps to calculate probabilities of predisposition to the sa

Native American Genealogy Only The Names Remain, Volume 4: Goingsnake District - Sandi Garrett. This volume, linking the Drennen Roll and the Guion Miller Applications, is a valuable addition to the growing body of genealogical works devoted to researching Cherokee ancestry. Article 9 of the Treaty of August 8, 1846, between the United States government and the Cherokee Nation called for "a fair and just settlement of all moneys due the Cherokees under the Treaty of 1835." The Drennen Roll was compiled in 1

Hi, Can anyone tell me if DNA testing can determine what your birth father's ancestry is? I'm new to the list. It may have been decussed before. I don't know. I would like info. tho' if possible.

10. [DNA] Re: GENEALOGY-DNA-D Digest V01 #2 [1]
Hi All Some questions have arisen lately about the non-standard nature of the alleles reported by Family Tree DNA . I appreciate these questions as they give me an opportunity to answer the questions and provoke, I'm sure, a lively round of exchanges which will be to the betterment of us all. Our studies reporting of the allele results is somewhat non--standard. In fact there is no standard for Y chromosome testing, which I expect is some years away. Let me explain it this way: On the female side
11. Re: [DNA] why a DNA test IS important to some of us [1]
Thanks, Linda Chesson, for that very moving (and very typical) story about your grandmother. In my posting I inadvertently forgot to mention the thousands of Indian children who were taken from their parents, or orphaned, and ended up bereft of their natural culture. The "lucky" ones were adopted (a popular saying of the day was "kill the Indian to save the man" !). Others ended up basically as house servants (slaves) in white homes, even at the tender ages of three and four. For their descendant
12. Re: [DNA] A message from a skeptic [1]
I agree with John German that DNA testing can provide direction when the paper trails stop. It, therefore is a new research tool of incomparable value, though it will never be the answer to all of our questions. In fact if Pence is on this list, I can show him a valuable use of DNA testing in a Pence-related line, i.e. the descendants of Mary Pence and John Nicholas Link of Augusta County, VA. DNA testing could show the relationships, if any, between the LINCK/LINK families of Baden and Hessen, German

You would need permission of a Judge in that jurisdiction but since you won't have the proof that you are the only legal heir the judge should not grant your request ,in my humble opinion.

Richard, you're sort of right -- Philip *is* a descendant of the last Czar of Russia, but that last Czar was Peter the Great, who changed his title from Czar to Emperor ("Imperator" in Russian) on 20 October/2 November 1721. The author of that article used the wrong title for Nicholas II. The

I will take this one from Mr. Bob Durham ... Hi Lois, we have had some experience collecting samples from people that have been deceased for 50 to 70 year. 200 years might be easier to do, and would be an interesting task. Our experience has dictated the following procedure ... 1) Contact the cemetery with the name and date of death. They will pull the records and give you an opening and closing cost (usually $300 to $400). 3) You may need to replace a vault, if the person was buried in one. This cost cou
17. [DNA] Stupid Question [1]
Hello, I am a newcomer on this list. So please forgive me, if my question sounds stupid. I found out, and possibly it4s only occasionally, that within my family sometimes even very far relatives have a certain similarity. As all of them are porters of the same name, I am wondering, if there is a possibility, that the male Y chromosom is responsible for this effect. Am I totally wrong or has anybody made a similar observation. Regards Rolf from Germany

In reply to your commment re restrictive DNA reporting, I want to say that I too, have been some troubled by non-standard reporting. It is NOT a good thing to have ANY kind of lab-imposed limits upon reporting, and non-standard reporting appears to me an excellent euphemism for "partial reporting". AND.......I have just spent the last hour drafting what I hope was a lucid reply to one of the Genealogy Lists to which I belong in re Genealogy INFORMATION (names, dates etc., never mind the DNA!) being re

22. Re: [DNA] A message from a skeptic [1]
Ann, Richard has indeed pointed out several errors in his message, which I think I can clear up. First of all, concerning Prince Phillip of England and the remains of the Romonov family: What was found in the graves in Siberia included a family unit, consisting of both parents and three daughters. The age of the remains, their location and the ages of the people at the time of their death was consistent with them being the Romonov family. This was confirmed by DNA testing of the mitochondria.

25. Re: [DNA] why a DNA test IS important to some of us [1]
In response to Vance Hawkins comments, and I hope this isn't too far off the DNA subject..... I understand your frustration and anger over the truly absurd criteria for registration with many tribes, including Cherokee. Although my lineage is a matter of record, I'm having a rough time coming up with the hard-copy documentation. That's why I'm having my DNA tested. To understand the emotional distress this situation puts a lot of us in, it's helpful to look at it in a historical context. Most of you
