I'm being told that this list will post the DNA updates. It's been months since I've seen any postings to this list, is it still operational? Pat Silva Corbera

Hi Pat, My apologies for the delay in replying. Yes, mtDNA results recently came in, and have now been updated on the mtDNA page: http://www.ourfamilyorigins.com/madeira/mtdna.htm<http://www.ourfamilyorigins.com/madeira/mtdna.htm> The most distant known maternal line ancestor: Maria de Sousa, b. 13 Mar 1758, Calheta, Madeira All three mtDNA participants are haplogroup 'H', which is the most common haplogroup (deep ancestral origins) found in Western Europe. Please reply with any questions you might have! With best regards, Katherine Borges Madeira DNA Project Co-Administrator
