If really interested, there are two that I know of and probably more will be popping up along the way, since they've broken the code on DNA. The one I was talking about is the one that is being conducted by Prof. Scott Woodward of BYU (Brigham Young University) he and others are conducting a large research project to construct a genealogy library based on DNA. Their goal to put it simply, is to construct a family tree for the human race. To read about the project go to their website: http://molecular-genealogy.byu.edu/ I recently watched a PBS special about how Scott Woodward and others went to Egypt to gather DNA to try and make a geanealogy chart for the Pharaohs. Their goal is what attracted me. They are also privately funded. Not like the next one I will mention. The other one is: The Human Genome Project and haven't read about them yet. I'm leaning more towards the the one being conducted by Scott Woodward. This one is funded by the government. You can read about them at: http://www.ornl.gov/hgmis "From: "Janet Jilote" <jilote@earthlink.net> Reply-To: SCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com To: SCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SC] DNA Project Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 06:12:52 -0500 Where can I donate! Would sure solve a lot of genealogical questions for me! Wouldn't that be great to find out about the "Indian Princess" story was true, or the "Rabbi turned Catholic" story was true. I sometimes think my family told stories just to confuse the poor soul ((me)) who dared try to chart the family pedigree!
