mtDNA Further Refinement

I just received the latest results from my mtDNA testing. Further refinement indicates I am a member of haplogroup H1. H1 appears to be the female lineage equivalent of the male R1b and it represents about 30% of the haplogroup H and nearly half of the population of Iberia.

New Changes

am now managing much of the text here with WORDPRESS. It just makes it easier to update.
I’ve written the code to access the WordPress logs directly because I didn’t like the way WordPress took over my website once I turned on Permalinks. It changed the way errors were logged(not) and the template I created needed to be very plain vanilla in order to display properly. Permalinks are off and the code works fine now.

Further Test Purchased

Duane’s mtDNA Analysis

I participated in Family Tree DNA’s high-resolution mitochondrial DNA testing in 2007. The results were returned that August.

It was determined that I am a member of haplogroup H.

As of January 2008, I have submitted for the H-refinement test in order to more specifically locate my geographic results, or to provide more income to FTDNA, I’m not sure which.

Website Structure Change

ello and welcome to the new look for our site. Gone are most of the clumsy, difficult to maintain HTML pages in favor of a sleeker, easier to maintain, database structure. It will be an ongoing process for a while in order to utilize as many of the features and functions available through this new interface, so please, bear with us!

Marcy’s First Results

After participating in the Genographic Project, Marcy’s DNA sample was subjected to further, high-resolution mitochondrial testing. The results were returned in December 2005.

It was further determined that she was a member of haplogroup H3. Below is a map showing the distribution of this haplogroup – most notably western Europe, where it seems to have emerged from the Iberian peninsula sometime after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

About Franklin

We are located within 5 to 10 minutes of a train (2 stations) to Boston, 5 minutes from a major interstate, I-495, 35 – 40 minutes from Providence Airport (T. F. Green) and 1 hour from Logan Airport in Boston. So you see, Franklin is a very convenient place to live.

Move to Franklin

We moved to Franklin in 1995 after relocating from NY/CT to the Boston area. At the time, there wasn’t much to do here. Since then, the town has grown so much that it’s now officially a city. Annual events include the Water Ban, a personal favorite, which lasts from April until October. This event ensures a steady income from fines imposed upon the green-grassed populace.
