Craig, Excuse me but this in one of the most inappropriate e-mails I have ever seen on this list, not only because I AM CATHOLIC, but because you do not understand history and have only read protestant authors. The Holy Catholic Church has done more good to help the poor etc than any other group ever, between hospitals, orphanages and schools for the poorest, etc. This is a list about about our Germanna ancestors and if this is what you all will revert too, I will drop off this list and out of this group. Marsha did not say anything about religion not open Pandora's box, you did that. Gail Adams p.s. MERRY CHRISTMAS. In a message dated 12/18/2008 11:19:06 A.M.

It strikes me that all of us so involved in genealogy are really seeking their origins, No small feat. This thread opens the door to an endless search into comparative mythology, which is a admirable and daunting ask. And yes, the "Holy Bible" falls into the category of mythology. It was a shame on the Holy Catholic Church when the burned the library at Alexandria and a further shame when the they came up the Council of Nicea and obliterated at least thalf of the gospels. The murderous acts of the Holy Catholic Church over the centuries in the name of "GOD" are too numerous to mention. It is absolutely sickening. Hitler did not invent the Holocaust. He merely perfected it. I for one would be most interested in yours and others thoughts on the origins of man.

And all of my female grandchildren have my mtDNA. But all of my male grandchildren have the mtDNA of their own mother who has the mtDNA of her mother who has the mtDNA of her mother....and so on up through the generations. I had my own mtDNA tested this summer and if you use Brian Sykes' Seven Daughters of Eve book's generalizations of the clan mothers, I descend from Helena. Fun stuff!
