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).

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!
