This is the reminder of the Harrison County Genealogical Society's regular monthly meeting, tomorrow, Saturday, Jan. 5th. It will be at 10:00 a.m. on the 2nd floor of the Waldomore. I will not be at the meeting tomorrow as I had to go for a breast biopsy this morning and am suppose to take it easy for at least 24 hours. Do not know any results and will not know them until I go back to the Dr. Ruby

Another picture up on the Anniversary Page http://www.wvhcgs.com/anniversary Any more out there? Dick

WVU football   WVU plays Syracuse in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl game in New York City at 3:15 ET.  The game is being broadcast on ESPN 2 which is channel 206 on my Direct TV service.   This will be our last chance to see arguably the best Mountaineer team ever.  They certainly set a lot of records in passing and rushing which will be hard to beat.  If it had not been for some unfortunate injuries at bad times in the season which sidelined some of the stars, they might have been playing in the national championship game instead of a minor bowl that no one has ever heard of.   Dave Kuhl 210 Glen Eagles Drive Ocean Springs, MS 39564-9041 e-mail: dbkuhl@bellsouth.net

Thanks for the link.  I was working up a program on DNA for my local gen society for Jan 3 and this comes in handy.    There are many great links on the Internet.  Just Google terms such as Genome, gene, base pair, DNA, RNA, etc.    There was a study out that from 1% to 4% of our DNA is from Neanderthal.  There were only a few specimens, so it is statistically weak.  For many years, it was assumed that we had no DNA from Neanderthal.   Over 90% of our DNA is the same as Chimpanzees.  I don’t know if that 4% Neanderthal is of the total or of the less than 10% which was thought to be uniquely human.  That makes a big difference.   When you considered that just going back 5 generations, you have 32 ancestors.  If one of those was a full blooded Neanderthal, you could have 3.125% Neanderthal genes even if the other 31 had zero Neanderthal genes.  It is a lot to wrap your mind around.    This Welsh DNA study really brings to life the potential for adding to our historical knowledge by analyzing DNA.    There was another story about a body found buried in a peat bog in England which was about 2000 years old and very well preserved.  They tested local kids in schools but none were related.  Then they tested a teacher who was from another part of England and he was related.  England was conquered and the population altered many times in the last 2000 years.    Don’t forget the WVU game today.    Dave Kuhl 210 Glen Eagles Drive Ocean Springs, MS 39564-9041 e-mail: dbkuhl@bellsouth.net ________________________________ From: Sharon Bramhall <sharon.bramhall@yahoo.com> To: "hcgs@rootsweb.com" <hcgs@rootsweb.com> Sent: Fri, December 28, 2012 3:45:22 PM Subject: [HCGS] Welsh people could be most ancient in UK, DNA suggests Here is a link to several BBC News reports on DNA studies going on in Wales, suggesting that the Welsh could be the most ancient in the British Isles (due to their land-locked location - mountain barriers).   http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-18489735   Be sure to also see the related article links at the bottom of the page!  One is a short radio program (audio only)   Sharon ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to HCGS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Sharon & Charlotte and others who are probably related to each other, You should consider taking an autosomal DNA test. Females and males can take it - it's based on 95 percent of all your DNA and covers all your ancestral lines (the Y-DNA & mtDNA tests only cover a small part of your ancestry. It reports Matches based on shared DNA, and a way to contact them - these Matches are probably your cousins from one of your ancestors. You have to share info with them to determine the Common Ancestor - hey, it's what we genealogists do. This test also makes a great gift - it's definitely a family project, new results are reported monthly, it's fun, and it connects you with new cousins. These tests are at lower prices now: www.familytreedna.com: Family Finder test (I prefer this company) www.22andMe.com: test includes medical info, so think about that aspect before ordering. www.ancestry.com: AncestryDNA test, it links your Ancestry Trees.
