Folks,

I have been involved in DNA for several years now and the advances made through this type of
research have been amazing. I expect the progress made in the next few years will be even greater. It
is extremely useful in proving, or disproving, relationships with other similar surnames. However, my
main interest is in the study of my particular haplotype (R1b1c) as it relates to the Germanic peoples
previous to 1000AD. If you are ever interested in discovering your ancestry around the time of Jesus,
this is the best way to do it.

But DNA is useless in determining a common Huguenot profile, as there is no such thing. Not that
anyone has suggested that, I just thought that it might come up on this message board. There is,
however, are very well understood genetic profile for the Basques. And their closest equivalent is found
in Ireland.

making great strides with DNA research and I have a cousin who joined a DNA study for his family line
to determine which line he was connected to. The Y-chromosome DNA that determines you're male is
passed down father-to-son, century after century, with only occasional small mutations. There is an
even chance that your DNA pattern ("haplotype") will exactly match that of your male direct paternal line
ancestor back roughly into the 1600's, or that there will be one or maybe two small mutations along the
way - that might eventually help determine who is or isn't from a particular branch of the family."
