Catching up late on reading messages and chiming in late as well. I went to Ireland a very long time ago, to attend the wedding of a friend. The guy she married didn't look Irish (whatever that is) to me.Anyway, I said something like that to another person at the wedding and his response was "Dontcha know about the Voikings?" At that time I hardly knew anything about "the Voikings". Well, he gave me his version and much later the History Channel did a 2 hour show about their raids -- anywhere they could sail--even dismantling ships and putting them back together when they found a river. When they decided to colonize Iceland they raided Ireland first for women to take along. So I guess if people in Iceland check their DNA a large portion would be Celtic... Although, it is such a small place that I think the most interesting DNA study would be the level of inbreeding. There are so many genealogy sites, and people everywhere seem fascinated by it, but I rarely find that anyone touches on inbreeding. Louisiana had a few spots notorious for close cousin marriage but not too many people speak of it. In my research, when I would find a marriage or birth record where the the man and woman had the same surname I thought it was a transciption error. Eventually I realized that what I was seeing was first cousin marriages when I checked the parents of the couple. > > -----Original Message----- > From: laorlean-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:laorlean-bounces@rootsweb.com] > On Behalf Of Kathy Cochran > Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 4:23 PM > To: 'Sally Viada' > Cc: 'laorleans' > Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] DNA ethnicity test > > Hi Sally, > > > > I had my Uncle's DNA tested, because we were looking to break a brick wall > on my Cochran great-grandfather, who undoubtedly came from a Scottish line, > but no info further back than 1818 is available.

Try Avoyelles Parish. I once showed a section of that genealogy to a friend who was a serious show-dog breeder. She said "we wouldn't breed dogs that close!" :>) I often marvel that some of the descendents, like ME, can stand erect or eat with a fork. :>) I have one line that 9 generations back from my cousin, the same couple repeats over and over. And if that isn't enough, the husband of that couple's sister, is several times in the 8th generation. Whew. This is no joke and I can prove it.

This is so true. I once did a circle tree. Much to my amazement on the outer edge of the tree (7th or 8th generation) was 1 woman with 2 different husbands SIX or SEVEN times! Madelaine Rouger who married Guillaume Burat(Buras) in Mobile, then to Antoine Negrier, before she came to Plaquemines Parish. She is like the matriarch of my family. She had so many grandchildren, who all married each other!! Then on the Solis side I come from a sister who married Ronquillo, and her brother who married a Perez. Maybe that explains everything lol By the way I just received my dna ethnicity results, will post later today From: Cheramie Breaux <chamoo@q.com> To: laorlean@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2012 1:42 PM Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] DNA ethnicity test Try Avoyelles Parish.
