GenGen-NV members

On Saturday 7 Nov, I am scheduled to conduct a half day class on DNA for
Genealogy at the Ashburn Stake (LDS) Family Fair.  I have a PowerPoint
presentation on DNA from there that I plan on presenting at our meeting
tomorrow night.  If you have questions about basics of DNA, this would
be a good time to ask.

Seven pm, Dolly Madison Library

Jim et al,

I am very sorry but I shall miss the next two SIG meetings. This time I have to
attend a banquet at the American Astronomical Society that night (the largest
gathering of astronomers anytime in history) and in February I will be on a tour
of Egypt. However, at your invitation, I will be pleased to give the March talk,
provided a projector can be found. The topic for Wednesday is one I regret not
hearing because it's close to my current DNA analysis project. Currently I am
working on the Gordon surname and on haplogroup evolution.

With best regards to Jim and everyone, and I wish all a Happy New Year.
Sincerely, Bill Howard

---------------------------------------------
My two papers on Y-DNA analysis have been published. They can be found at the
JoGG site and you can read them also at:
http://mysite.verizon.net/weh8/Howard1.pdf and at:
http://mysite.verizon.net/weh8/Howard2.pdf

Jim,

I will be unable to make this meeting.  I depart early in the morning the
next day for Ft. Lauderdale and a cruise.  As for Bill's request for a
projector, I think I can help out.  At present, it looks like I can make
the March meeting.

Yours aye,

Bob

remind me before the March meeting to bring the projector.

It's simple.  If Fairfax County Schools are closed at our scheduled
meeting time, we will not meet.

You can always check for closings with local TV stations such as:
http://www.wjla.com/closings/,
http://www.nbcwashington.com/weather/school-closings/, and
http://www.wusa9.com/weather/severe_weather/cancellations_closings/default.aspx.


If I cancel for any other reason, I will try to send out an alert
through this mail list.

The February 3rd meeting of the SIG on Surname Projects and Genetic Genealogy is
cancelled.  I hope to see you next month.

Miss you guys! 

Still commuting from my home on upper I-270 down to DC every day.  Thank you for keeping me in your chain of announcements and meeting notes.  Late evenings (and snow days) are filled with genetic genealogy research -- and the following two articles highlight our Amerindian Ancestry out of Acadia Family Tree DNA Project's recent success stories (enjoy!):

"Confirmed C3b Y DNA Results Test the Heritage of Cajun Cousin Keith Doucet"

"Travel, Teamwork, and mtDNA Test Results add up to Emile Broome's Amerindian Acadian Ancestry."

I remember starting out with Keith Doucet on his surname project experience after listening to a presentation given by your group on surname project studies.  I was so excited about all the relationships you could develop, and how the markers would play out among the descending generations from the original patriarch and he thought it would be great to launch our project's first surname study with the historic Doucet name at the healm.  We had very much unexpected results as you will read in our article.  Emile Broome was a "walk-in" and one whose rich genetic history provided links back to an ancestress who had eluded our project for four years, unknown to him!

Our project has accumulated a data bank of FGS findings for our Port Royal/Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia descendant community and a host of "rare DNA" types that attest to Nova Scotia's early history and portray the composition of our earliest Amerindian and Metisse mothers in our ancestors' Acadian community.  Click here to stay in touch with the latest news and developments within the Amerindian Ancestry out of Acadia Family Tree DNA Project.

HELP WANTED: Need specific surname study advice re: markers, genetic distance, etc.  I have a particularly challenging White (English) Leblanc (French) subject that I may want offline advice about...it's stunning. It's a perfect show of how one surname triumphs over another, genetically - but where a published genealogy tells a different story -- and so now, I must unravel -- or I will unravel.  No more to tell here...I'm very much interested in a follow-up message at mrundqui@...

Regards,

Marie Rundquist, Haplogroup A2f1a, Gaithersburg, Maryland

This is a special notice because I wanted to provide advance notice for
the June meeting.  We have had several requests for introductory
sessions and Jim Bartlett has agreed to make such a presentation on 2
June and the regular time but the meeting will be in room G104 (across
from where the FxGS general meeting is held).  So if you were hoping to
bring friends to such a meeting, now is the time to line them up.

Our Meeting will be on 5 May in the Library and the subject will be "A
new small sub-haplogroup of Haplogroup J2b2-M241 with Cohanim family
traditions" and will be presented by Whit Athey and Sidney Sachs.  You
will be receiving the normal scheduled reminders.

By the way, I suggest we take off July, August, and September and resume
in October.  I expect to continue at Kilmer but they have not started
their calendar for the new school year so I cannot confirm that.

As previously announced, the 2 June meeting is scheduled to be an introductory
presentation on Genetic Genealogy by Jim Bartlett.  Jim has a PowerPoint
presentation and would prefer that form of presentation if someone can provide a
projector.  Else we will resort to paper handouts.  Thanks.
