Here's another site: http://molecular-genealogy.byu.edu/ << A great website for DNA interest is "BYU's genealogy-through-DNA research getting boost from new DNA research " http://newsnet.byu.edu/show_story.cfm/number.10125/year.current >> thousand oaks, ca TOFreckles@aol.com

With Y Chromsome testing you can project back a few score of generations. In our test we currently use 12 markers, s
3. [DNA] Mitochondrial DNA match! [1]
I submitted DNA samples for myself and my 4th cousin 3 times removed to http://www.oxfordancestors.com for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis -- and the results came back with a perfect match! We both go back in a straight line of females to our most recent common ancestor Pamela NIMS, born in 1794 in Shelburne, MA. Now I'll be devoting part of my genealogy time and money budget to looking for "mtDNA cousins" who are descendants of a still more distant ancestor. This kind of DNA is transmitted throu

11. [DNA] Who are you? [1]
Dear Group, I have come across your list by it being mentioned in Dick Eastmans online genealogical newsletter. I would imagine that quite a few others have also joined, so may I ask a few background questions on their behalf as well: 1. How long has this list been going for? 2. How many subscribe to this list? 3. Is there an archive of previous messages? 4. Dick Eastman mentioned this list in conjunction with his comment upon the Pamela Nims mtDNA experiment. Are the creators behind this list from thi
12. [DNA] DNA questions [1]
Hello all, I am starting to look at the possibility of some Y-chromosone DNA research. One thing that seems to have surfaced is that many labs are offering different depths of analysis. Some comparing 6 markers, some 12 and some 13 (unlucky for some family members). The question that immediately comes to my mind is: Is it a case of the more markers compared the better the results or are some of the markers more important than others, thus giving a quality not quantity scenario ? Also, how is the researc
13. [DNA] The MUMMA Surname DNA Project [1]
There's an interesting discussion about an ongoing Y-chromosome project at http://www.mumma.org/DNA.htm They are using it to sort out which branches with variant spellings and migration patterns have a common ancestor.

Dear Group I think having input from a DNA testing professional is of great benefit to this list. Therefore I look forward to your reply Bennett via this list so we can all learn a bit more.

Dear Mark, These are a good set of questions which I shall answer. If Bennett can give us some more detailed answers all the better. >I am starting to look at the possibility of some Y-chromosone DNA research. >One thing that seems to have surfaced is that many labs are offering >different depths of analysis. >Some comparing 6 markers, some 12 and some 13 (unlucky for some family >members). > >The question that immediately comes to my mind is: > >Is it a case of the more markers compared the better the r
16. [DNA] Tests & costs [1]
10/26/00 9:50am EDT Ann, Just read your message in the archives and found it interesting. I had been wondering recently about using DNA to possibly see if the various SHAHAN lines were related. Seems like a very useful tool in deciding which researchers need to be working together to link to a common ancestor. Many times families with the same surname will insist that they are not related and therefore do not share data. Thank you for starting a very timely list. Here are some questions I have
17. [DNA] DNA Study in San Diego [1]
The San Diego Genealogical Society is sponsoring a group of researchers from BYU who are conducting a study on DNA for genealogical use. If you are interested in attending this meeting and having a blood sample taken for contribution to this study, please contact Jan Babb-McClintock at jbabb914@yahoo.com. You do not have to be a member of any genealogical society to participate in the event, however, you must be over the age of 18. You will also have to provide a 4 generation pedigree chart.

18. Re: [DNA] Family Tree DNA [1]
Hi Bennett....I've been told that I descend from Jon B., a 5th great grandfather, but I've never found the document that verifies this to my satisfaction. I have a very good 'cousin'-friend (Mary) that has been verified to descend from Jon B.'s brother (Edward B.). Question......If Mary and I had the DNA tests, would that prove our relation back to a common male ancestor? In our case, the above Jon B. and Edward B. would probably be our only connecting ancestors. This is so great that you're answering o

22. Re: [DNA] Who are you? [1]
I, too, saw this in Dick Eastman's newsletter. I am absolutely fascinated with the subject. If you go, as someone has suggested, to the archives, there are only about 10 messages there. However, if you look at all of them you will find at least 2-3 other websites which will tell you more about the subject. Ruth Cottrell Irving, Tx cotrell@gte.net > 1.

Dear Alan, I subscribed to the list yesterday..(after reading Eastman) but so far, little to no activity. In doubt as to the objective..but thought I'd watch it for a few weeks. I received your excellent book in the mail this week. Thank you. I worked out a chart for my senior citizens to keep their family health history. I used two columns and about 20 lines...one column to list the I.D. number, the other column to list the codes from the World Health organization...with some room for exceptions and addi
24. [DNA] Capture DNA before death? [1]
Hi all, I am a DNA dimwit so please excuse ignorance. My father is very old, and will probably not be with us much longer. We are taking video of him as a keepsake. The question is... can I capture some DNA from him for long term keeping? Some hair, some toe nail clippings? Do such bits contain DNA? Could they be analysed in fifty years time when testing is more advanced again? I just don't want to lose an opportunity while I still have it. Second question. If I bought a DNA test, (some on this li
25. [DNA] NGS Quarterly article on Y chromosome by Roderick [1]
The June 2000 issue of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly had an excellent article by Thomas Roderick "The Y Chromosome in Genealogical Research: 'From Their Ys a Father Knows His Own Son' ". Dr. Roderick is a biologist at Jackson Laboratories in Bar Harbor, ME who coined the term "genomics." He has also been interested in mtDNA analysis -- he's the one who has been collecting long matrilineal pedigrees in the hopes that they would be of interest for a university research study.
