I am sure we are all pleased to hear he is doing well.

>1) When did I try to publish an article about genetic genealogy?1996.

Who did you approach and what was their re action. I presume you mentioned
mtDNA, Y-chr. and autosomes.

As I have now found this paper on-line I have been able to read it. This
minisatellite is not very polymorphic and will therefore be of limited use
for genetic genealogy.

Thanks, Alan
