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 their
pedigree.

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

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
