1 | Diana Cecelia Chambers wrote at Jul 26 2008, 02:21 pm You\\'re looking for info on Conrad McGee so I went to the FamilySearch website and the only info they have on him is Birth about 1831 in Mercer, KY and that his parents are James McGee and Polly Froman. The website is http://www.familysearch.org and the Source Information comes from Batch Number F857333, Sheet 009, Source Call No. 1396079 and it\\'s on Film it says. This site is run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who kept meticulous ancestry records. I hope this helps.

2 | Lady Linda Maurine Tucker wrote at Jun 30 2008, 11:16 am The Seven Daughters of Eve From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Seven Daughters of Eve (2001, ISBN 0-393-02018-5) is a book by Bryan Sykes that presents the theory of Human mitochondrial genetics to a general audience. Sykes explains the principles of genetics and human evolution, the particularities of mitochondrial genetics, and analyses of ancient DNA to genetically link modern humans to prehistoric ancestors. Following the developments of mitochondrial genetics, Sykes traces back human migrations, discusses the out of Africa theory and refutes Heyerdahl\\'s theory of the Peruvian origin of the Polynesians, which opposed the theory of their origin in Indonesia. He also describes the use of mitochondrial DNA in identifying the remains of Czar Nicholas II, and in assessing the genetic makeup of modern Europe. The title of the book comes from one of the principal achievements of mitochondrial genetics, which is the classification of all modern Europeans into seven groups, the mitochondrial haplogroups. Each haplogroup is defined by set of characteristic mutations on the mitochondrial genome, and can be traced along a person\\'s maternal line to a specific prehistoric woman. Sykes refers to these women as "clan mothers", though these women did not all live concurrently, and indeed some "clan mothers" are descended from others (although not maternally). All these women in turn shared a common maternal ancestor, the Mitochondrial Eve. The last third of the book is spent on a series of fictional narratives, written by Sykes, describing his creative guesses about the lives of each of these seven "clan mothers". This latter half generally met with mixed reviews in comparison with the first part. Mitochondrial haplogroups in The Seven Daughters of Eve The seven "clan mothers" mentioned by Sykes each correspond to one (or more) human mitochondrial haplogroups. Ursula: corresponds to Haplogroup U (excluding its subgroup K) Xenia: corresponds to Haplogroup X Helena: corresponds to Haplogroup H Velda: corresponds to Haplogroup V Tara: corresponds to Haplogroup T Katrine: corresponds to Haplogroup K Jasmine: corresponds to Haplogroup J Additional daughters Sykes claims there are seven major mitochondrial lineages for modern Europeans but others put the number at 10-12. These additional "daughters" generally include haplogroups I, M and W[1]. A recent paper re-mapped European haplogroups as H, J, K, N1, T, U4, U5, V, X and W.[2] Likewise, Sykes has invented names for an additional 29 "clan mothers" worldwide, each corresponding to a different haplogroup identified by geneticists: "Fufei, Ina, Aiyana/Ai, Yumi, Nene, Naomi, Una, Uta, Ulrike, Uma, Ulla, Ulaana, Lara, Lamia, Lalamika, Latasha, Malaxshmi, Emiko, Gaia, Chochmingwu/Chie, Djigonasee/Sachi, Makeda, Lingaire, Lubaya, Limber, Lila, Lungile, Latifa and Layla."[3] Japanese clans Sykes is currently using the same methods to identify the nine "clan mothers" of Japanese ancestry, "all different from the seven European equivalents."[4]

3 | Lady Linda Maurine Tucker wrote at Jun 28 2008, 03:21 pm Exciting times! During the next few months I am going to start the search for Grandpa Smith\\'s genetic lineage. Grandpa always told us that we were related to Sitting Bull (despite his insistence - we always shrugged it off). Grandpa, this search is for your sweetheart! Also coming is the search for daddy\\'s genetic heritage - dad was adopted and never knew his origins; we are also going to start Joe\\'s genetic search. So stay tuned!

4 | Lady Linda Maurine Tucker wrote at Jun 27 2008, 12:06 am Hello Haplogroup H Family! This journey into our pasts is truly exciting and enlightening. Many surprises along the way - but each new adventure into the "Family of Man" brings us closer to discovering our origins - and closer to each other. This truly is "A Small World After All"! I look forward to taking this journey with you.
