My daughter Timoni recently found this interesting article on Atlantic Monthly.com. The tagline is "The mathematical study of genealogy indicates that everyone in the world is descended from Nefertiti and Confucius, and everyone of European ancestry is descended from Muhammad and Charlemagne"; it's all about how everybody's descended, well, from everybody. Here's the link, if you're interested: www.theatlantic.com/issues/2002/05/olson.htm If that doesn't work, go to theatlantic.com and click on "Past Issues" (or "Archived Issues", I can't remember) and look up April of this year; there's a contents and the article should be just a simple link. It is interesting- but the fun is in the hunt :) Blessings, Kathleen who is searching for Michael and Mary Dineen O'Donnell- both born around 1840 in Ireland - Donegal and Limerick- supposedly :) ===== "Neither you nor the world knows what you can do until you have tried." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson "The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears."
