The results are in on the first Mitchell dna test using the y chromosome to
find out which Mitchells who had ancestors in North Carolina or Southside
Virginia in the 1700s were related. There were many Mitchells in that area
at that time and our assumption was that many of them would be found to be
related. Of a group of ten, only four were found to be related. One was way
off from all the rest, and the rest stood aloneno close matches with
anyone.
The next step in the project is to test more peo

If the participation identification is kept secure, I should think there
would really be no way for the courts to even know a participant had been

a) I think there is some chance that a few hundred years from now people
will look back on us in amazement at our short-sightedness. It seems that a
large proportion of our society is dead-set against using DNA technology for
any purpose at all. These arguments come out when discussing human cloning.
They seem to argue that we will end up with a bunch of Hitlers - never
considering that the only way to get a clone that is Hitler would be to
clone Hitler. I am not aware of anyone wanting to clone Hitler.

Hi List,
Does anyone know of any project which relates in any way to Alexander
Doniphan?
Does anyone on this list claim descent from anyone named Doniphan, Travers
(Travis), and/or Cave?
A descendancy of Alexander Doniphan project is absolutely MADE for molecular
genealogy. He had three wives, two of them uncertain, and the other an
ancestor of President Truman. He mentions in his will "grandson Giles
Travers", yet nobody seems to be able to show in any convincing way how
Giles could have been his grands

Peter,
What exactly are they afraid of in respect of privacy? Probably some
misguided notion of what your research will reveal, e.g. faulty genes when
in fact you are only testing junk DNA?
Maybe your (over?) elaborate privacy encodement has persuaded some that
there is something really important that does need hiding, when in fact the
information has no known medical importance.

There is an article on page A8 of The Ottawa Citizen

"Vitamin C fosters DNA-damaging toxins, study finds".
The article reports on research done by Dr. Ian Blair

of Pennsylvania.
While the results relate specifically to cancer, is
there any possibility that the genealogically
important parts of DNA could also be affected?

Hello DNA Genealogists ...
I remember someone (on this list?) mentioning one of the errors that was
found in the Foster et. al., 1998 Nature publication. This was the study
that provided 'suggestive' evidence that US President Thomas Jefferson
fathered a child with Sally Hemings. The system DSY390 was given a
repeat number of 11, which does not fall into the established allele
size category (i.e., between 20 and 27 repeats). Does anyone know the
actual allele size (or number of repeats), and where this inf

They tell us that they will use about 15 markers. I am very new to this technical
stuff. I will send this to a friend who has been helping us and maybe he can
help. I think we just lucked out when we were accepted. I wrote their Special

any new cases. About a month later they started asking if we were still
interested. I am not a member so I don't think that had much to do with it.

This is an exception. I received an e-mail from an "internet cousin" which
did IN FACT contain a virus (as evidenced by my little note from Microsoft

tried to assimilate and civilize the natives and established schools to

successful until the population pressure caused by huge colonial families moved

their lands (they didn't know they owned them in the first place) but became
upset when they learned they couldn't hunt and fis

My copy of your posted URL had the "shtml" on the next line. Glad you pointed
out that it required reattaching.
I assume that the program series consists of the five 'programmes' itemized.
If so, I copied them all for reading later since I prefer, rather than talk,
either silence or background music (George Shearing for this English stuff).
So if anyone has trouble hearing or reading the lectures, I have them.

Yes, it is still necessary to ask Family Tree DNA for the actual number
of repeats for the public STRs . And it is a public marker that is the
one that has the one number difference between the two groups of
