Re: [ranchos] Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation


 
Please do.
 
    If you check their webpagess where the preliminaries are shown, you'll see that not many of us latinos are shown.  That;s because we do not participate  much.  My cousins, my immediate family and other shave participated.  IN fact, it seems that my family is heavily represented (I know,  I saw the last names and the entries).  I know that the Sorensen Lab is very interested in Latinamericans because the project is for tracing the human migrations the world over and there are very few participants from Latinamerica.
 
I will be going to Mexico to pick more samples from my family to participate even further because we have several Indian mixes and the lab is especially interested in documented Indian lines (they are the path).

Subject: [ranchos] Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation

I am thinking of joining the study being conducted by the Sorenson
Genealogy Foundation.  They are basically linking documented
genealogies with yDNA and mtDNA markers so that people can use their
database to get clues as to origins and to break throughbrick walls.

Has anyone looked into this or participated in this?  It is interesting
to use their database.  I have been able to find matches for 18 of 19
yDNA markers and the corresponding genealogies are mostly in Brazil!
