We haven't got to that part of the project yet. My husband's results have been received by the testers but haven't been processed. My mother actually did give me her sample to mail today. And I have decided to punt and mail the sample I was going to give to my dad to my brother instead, just to avoid interpersonal weirdness.
But I would guess that the "phenotype" questions are just that - height, weight, color of hair, color of eyes, maybe ABO type.
A year or so ago they had an article on testing men in Lebanon, looking for the Phoenicians. I think that's way cool.
My mother's mtDNA is going to be some variation on Native American, because her mother's mother was part Chippewa.
No idea what my father's family's mtDNA will be, when I get one of his cousins to agree to take the test, but his mother was supposed to be part Cherokee.
I've done genetic testing at the Universith of Pittsburgh because I have rheumatoid arthritis, which is supposed to have a genetic component. Finding a cure would be so wonderful.
Pretty interesting; I may be tempted to give it a shot. We've traced my father's family back to Germany, but about the time of the French Revolution, any trace of us disappeared. My Dad likes to imagine we were French aristocracy who fled to Germany and made a new life, but BAH! I'd hate to pay one hundred bucks to find out I'm French, LOL!
