I am a new member of the Devon Geneology group and in my exploring the site or related sites I read someone's message asking for information about Daniel Emmett. I have data about him and his family but now can't find that message. Worse, I can't find how to tell anyone hence my contacting you. I don't want to go outside the Devon Geneology group.
Maybe you can help
Jim Emmett
Debbie,
You are most likely correct. My gmail was also included in the cc and it is not a part of my GW profile. Curious timing, however.
Regards.
I just finished reading DNA USA by Bryan Sykes. I enjoyed the book but of course I am into genealogy DNA. Still lots of DNA stuff I am not familiar with and the technology is moving faster than I can keep up with. Sykes spent 3 months travelling across the USA trying to understand the American melting pot of genes. Sykes used new DNA methodology called Chromosome Painting to look at some individual DNA. This painting method was used to distinguish European, African and Asian/Native American DNA markers that may show up in individual DNA results.
One interesting item that caught my attention was a colored map of the USA showing self-declared ancestries in the highest proportions in each county taken from the 2000 census. I was surprised to see such a large group of German ancestry indicated in what appears to be at least one half of the USA. Almost all of Michigan shows German ancestry except for a couple of very small areas of Dutch, African American and Finnish ancestries. Almost every state west of Penn. in the northern half of the USA showed mainly German. You can find the map on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maps_of_American_ancestries
