The problem with mtDNA is that it doesn't mutate very much. You have to go back in time quite a ways to find mutations so using it to distinguish different lineages in the near past is difficult if not impossible. Since there is very little mutation over time it is used to prove relationships that are already known to exist (eg. proving a body found in a murder case is who the police say it is). Y-DNA is more useful to ASSIST in proving thoretical relationships since it can show a common ancestor (statistically) within X-number of generations (depending on the number of markers tested). mtDNA can and obviously is used to detect familial relationships, but I think the most pressing reason to utilize a Y-DNA test for Lost Colony research is the fact that there were only 17 women compared to 90 men and men only pass the Y chromosome not their mtDNA.

This might help explain the differing values of Y-DNA vs mtDNA testing. >From the Family Tree DNA site: The Y chromosome is transmitted from father to son. Testing the Y chromosome provides information about the direct male line, meaning the father to his father and so on. The locations tested on the Y chromosome are called markers. Occasionally a mutation occurs at one of the markers in the Y chromosome. Mutations are simply small changes in the DNA sequence. They are natural occurrences and take place at random intervals. Overall, they are estimated to occur once every 500 generations per marker. Mutations can sometimes be valuable in identifying branches of a family tree. Y-DNA testing can be used to confirm the paper genealogical research for your family tree. It can determine which family trees with the same or variant surnames are related, and can provide clues to help you with your genealogy research. mtDNA is passed from mother to child. Since only females pass on their mtDNA, testing the mtDNA tells about the mother, to her mother, and so on along the direct maternal line. Both males and females receive mtDNA from their mothers, so both men and women can test their mtDNA. While mutations occur in mtDNA, the rate of mutation is relatively slow. Over thousands of years these mutations build up so that one female line will have a sequence distinguishable from another. As people spread throughout the world, mutations occasionally occurred in different populations over time. This allows us to test the mtDNA to identify the world origin of a person's lineage. mtDNA is tested and the result is compared to a reference sequence called the Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS). By comparing an mtDNA sequence to the CRS, we can identify the ancient lineage to which you belong, called the haplogroup. Many haplogroups are continent-specific and some of their branches are region-specific.

It could be! My name is Roberta Estes and Im the Director for DNA Research for the Lost Colony Center for Science and Research. (www.lost-colony.com) Our goal is to discover the fate of the Roanoke Lost Colonists. For those of you who dont know about the mystery of the Lost Colony, heres a primer. In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh financed a venture in which 116 men, women and children were planning to establish the first permanent colony in the New World. Their goal was to raise tobacco and other supplies that colonists were unable to obtain in England, and to search for precious minerals, like gold. In the fall of 1587, the colonists finally arrived on Roanoke Island in present day North Carolina, after a very difficult journey in which their food supplies were ruined. They sent John White, whom they had elected governor, back to England to obtain food and supplies and expected his return in the spring of 1588. However, the Spanish attached England and England, having no Navy, impressed all of her fishing vessels and private merchant ships into Naval service. Finally, in 1590, three years after leaving the colonists which included his daughter, son-in-law and infant granddaughter, he returned to Roanoke Island to find it deserted, but not destroyed. It appeared as if the colonists had simply moved. A single word, a clue, Croatan, was carved on a tree. The Croatan were the friendly Indians living nearby. Before Johns departure, he had instructed the colonists to carve crosses if they had to leave in distress. There were no crosses. John White would spend the rest of his life searching for the Lost Colonists. Many hints and clues indicate that at least some of the Colonists survived and were assimilated into the native tribes. The question is, did they, and if so, who are they today? In 1993, the original site of the Croatan village was located. Subsequent archaeological and genealogical research suggests that the colonists did survive, and that when the land was granted to settlers, it was granted to some of those survivors who were by that time considered to be Indians. With recent advances in DNA for genealogy, we finally have, today, the ability to solve the mystery. We have created a plan that combines history, genealogy and DNA to solve the mystery. However, we cant do this alone. We need the help of the families who have been identified as families of interest, being either roster members of the Lost Colony of those who obtained land grants on the original Croatan village site. Many of those names are the same. In order to educate people and work closely with people who are interested, we are sponsoring the Lost Colony Symposium for DNA and Recent Research Sept. 7-9, 2007 at the Lost Colony Center in Williamston, NC. The symposium will be held between the Center and the Holiday Inn, as noted on the flyer at http://www.lost-colony.com/DNAsymflyer.html. Given that your surname is one of those on our Names of Interest list, I hope that people on the list will join with us in our research. I am hoping from this mailing, aside from encouraging people to attend the Symposium, to achieve the following: 1. To identify a primary research person or persons for your particular surname who would serve as a contact/coordinator for future postings, requests and research. 2. To identify a family archival website(s) if one exists. 3. To identify if there are any families of that surname that are from NC (or early coastal SC or VA), have oral histories of Indian or "mixed" heritage, are involved with any of the tri-racial isolate groups (Melungeons, Red Bones, etc.) and/or have any oral history of the Lost Colonies. 4. To determine if the family group is involved already with DNA testing, and if so, who coordinates that effort. 5. To determine if there is any research occurring or that has occurred for your surname in Great Britain, and if not, if anyone is interested in pursuing that avenue. To become involved with the Lost Colony project, or to support the project, please attend our Symposium. Our project plan will be announced at the Symposium, and we have a long list of wonderfully educational speakers. Bring your pedigree charts and your genealogy as the right people will be present to help you with your testing plan. If you cant attend the conference, you can still join the project. Information will be posted shortly about how to do that on the Lost Colony website. We are in the process of setting us a private newsgroup for project members only which will also be available after the symposium. Furthermore a blog is being created and blog location info will be posted on the Lost Colony website as well. If you are interested in this project or can be of help in any way, please contact me at restes@comcast.net.

Thanks. I finally got into that site but, to my dismay, the English-America site is labelled "offline as of 2006" or words to that effect. The story of my life. <sigh> Vickie Elam White

I'm not sure anyone who provided a website like his would count the perceived "value" any of the personal time against the pleasure of providing a service such as he did. The real costs probably came from the upkeep of the website itself. I've been buying my own web services for websites that I do since the 90s and I can't remember how they were priced back then, but I know the costs were higher than they are today. Especially if he had to pay extra for databases, more bandwidth, access to scripting services such as cgi, perl or asp (I have no idea of the tech he used, just tossing some possibilities out). Today, most large provides give you a decent amount of bandwidth, free scripting access (for the most part) and a healthy amount of database storage. For the two web sites that I run I pay $70/year for one and $95/year for the other. I don't pay extra for more bandwidth, storage or mysql databases, but then again I don't deal with a million visitors a year. If I did I could see myself paying several hundred dollars per year for each site. It's so easy to place a "Please donate here" Paypal link on a web site. I bet if he had done that prominently more people would have contributed.

Billie Granted, perhaps he got some free software somewhere, but I doubt it. You don't think your "labor of love" is worth $25/hr? If we chose to pay someone else to do it for us, my bet is that I was "low balling" the price. I have just spent the past two days working on two websites. Sure, I have fun, and I learn a lot doing them. But I would never discount the "price" of my services. Even though Thomas didn't put a price on his services, I don't think we can discount that either. To spend all the time he did, helping all the people he did, and to have so little thanks?

This is one of those occasions where I am sorry I didn't know about something valuable out there, just because I "hadn't gotten that far." For those who wonder why "all this isn't free," this is instructive reading. I think he missed a bit, so not counting what he probably did "for himself", this tells it: [brackets mine] Cost of One person - [personal time @ $30/hr] Cost of research [travel, books, manuscripts, copies] Cost of compiling [personal time @ $20/hr, plus, say, Excel or Access @ $500] Cost of website [10 years] [$100?] Cost of web publishing [say $200 for software, plus $25/hr for building the pages and upkeep] Contrasted with: Number of visitors - over 1 million/year Number of requests for individualized research - hundreds Number of appreciative e-mails - dozens Number of donations in 10 years - 6 I'm sure no one wonders why he gave up. But isn't it amazing how many people think this is just how it "should be" -- not only with the volunteer sites, such as this one, but the commercial sites as well (which I gather he was trying to avoid). I'll bet he was a contributor (money wise) to Rootsweb 'way back as well. How sad.
