Hej Rita Yes I think we have been in touch before but it was some years ago. Do you have any connection with the only ELLET/ELLIOT in my tree? Or do you belong to haplogroup U1b1? I tested for mDNA with FamilyTreeDNA and found that I belonged to this extremely rare haplogroup. (or at least extremely rare in the British Isles) Best wishes Graham Göteborg, Sweden ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rita Effnert" <kessie3@online.de> To: <derbysgen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 7:52 PM Subject: Re: [DBY] Female line Am 21.05.2013 16:57, schrieb Graham Freeman: > Hej > I am trying to find out more about my female line but have come to a dead > end and have not been able to confirm that some of the candidates are the > right ones.
