Glossary of DNA Terms A fairly good assembly of DNA terms
 
Genographic Project National Geographic web site - National Geographic and IBM's Genographic Project Atlas of the Human Journey explores early human migration routes and describes the highlights along that journey.  Allows direct access to the Time Line Eras, Journey Highlights, and Genetic Markers or Haplogroups that interest you most. Go there to learn more about ancient human migration through detailed text, photographs, maps, time lines, videos, and more.  Oct, 2008: I have learned that these folks base all their output on 12 markers - It seems that 12 markers is all it takes to place a person into an ancestry group determined to have a specific geographic beginning.

Haplogroup Matches Contains a chart showing some of my Haplogroup matches (y-DNA), and where the mutation level of those matches are found.  The higher the mutation level the more remote the relationship.  This page also contains a description of some Haplogroups.
 
Haplomaps I have only the European Haplogroups mapped at this time.  New map added 10/2/2007
 
mtDNA Results for Ed The mitochondrial Haplogroup J contains several sub-lineages. The original Haplogroup J originated in the Near East approximately 50,000 years ago.  The Haplogroup J2 is particularly interesting because it has been detected in Turkey, Italy, Sardinia, Iberia, and Iceland.
 
mtDNA Results for Rene The mitochondrial Haplogroup H contains several sub-lineages. The original Haplogroup H originated in the western Europe approximately 30,000 years ago.

Oghgul Project This project is best for mtDNA testing because it is not restricted to a specific family Sir Name.

Project Pricing advantage FTDNA provides a discount for purchasing through a Project as opposed to buying direct from FTDNA.
Please select from the Ogle or the Oghgul project for your discount.
 
Project Page2 Working e-mail from FTDNA, and information that came with the DNA kit from FamilytreeDNA.  Gives an idea of what to expect
 
RAO (MRCA) for Ed

RAO (MRCA) for Rene
The results here show the recent ancestral origin of those you match or nearly match in the RAO. The ancestral origin information is provided by each testee, and is only as accurate as the testee's knowledge. The testee is instructed to answer "Unknown Origin" when their ancestor's origin is uncertain or not known.
 
Soothe Your Worries A while ago a customer sent FTDNA a copy of the reply she received from someone that she was trying to bring into her family project.  It had so many misconceptions that we thought: "we need to publicize this and respond one by one to that person's claims".  Click on "Soothe your worries" at left to read the facts.

Tracing Woman An mtDNA journey showing my mtDNA of J2 and the "J" track is mapped.  Includes comments from the book Seven Daughters of Eve.
 
y-DNA Haplogroups Here I have attempted to cross-reference the different labs codes - It is as accurate as I can make it - any help would be appreciated.
