For those who are interested in the DNA aspect of genealogy, I got the first
part of my tests back last night. I am still reeling with the results of the
Y-DNA 12 markers (male lineage-the DNA sent was my brother's so we could get
the most comprehensive information). "Be careful what you wish for" has
always been my favorite dicho.
It seems by Haplogroup and 12 marker match (we are waiting for the 24 and 37
marker tests to be ready, as well as the maternal DNA sample) that my
paternal clan originated in the British Isles. We also have a 100% match to 4
individuals in the database, all of whom live in England. Now we proceed to try
and "empatar" who the sailor was that went over to Spain and couldn't keep his
britches on. :), as my own documentation shows my earliest known paternal
ancestor to be from Lugo, Galicia.
I may have to leave this list and go over to the Brits!
Must get back to my tea and crumpets, but wanted to share this info with the
group, so you can get an idea of how the service works (to make you
crazier!).
God save the queen!
