Yeah I know the joke!

China now says that this find proves Russia was part of China and gives the Russians 2 weeks to move out.

I was just talking about Ringling Brothers to an ex classmate and I saw a picture of Charles Nelson Reilly here. He was at the great circus fire in Hartford.

Thanks for posting, blam.

I’m a big fan of Denisovans, first read about them in The Siberian Times, which also had, and perhaps still has, many photos and maps of the cave where the bone fragment was found. In the Altai area of Siberia. If they’d gather some DNA, I’d actually have mine tested. According to my very rare blood type, I have ancestors who came from that area, and my son’s type is easy to trace to Mongolia/Khazakstan area. All very peculiar, since we are blue=eyed, fair skinned people of Irish descent.

" If they’d gather some DNA, I’d actually have mine tested."

I've read that the Denisovian DNA is the most thoroughly analysed human DNA ever.

I've had the DNA of my whole family analysed. I'm yDNA R1b and mtDNA 'V'.

My grandmother, Mrs Smith, has the same DNA as Cheddar Man

Great. Who did your DNA?

[blam]

"Great. Who did your DNA?"

The first time was through this project:

The Genographic Project (Have Your DNA Checked, Find Your Roots)

After that program completed I had additional/expanded DNA studies done through Family Tree of Houston.

My sister just had hers done at National Geo …I think females only get report on their female ancestors though. I’ll suggest Family Tree. Maybe she can talk to them, as she is in Houston.

"My sister just had hers done at National Geo …I think females only get report on their female ancestors though. I’ll suggest Family Tree. Maybe she can talk to them, as she is in Houston."

You have to have two tests to get male and female DNA results. She can determine her mother's DNA by doing a mtDNA and then a yDNA(male) to get her fathers.

mtDNA (female) is passed on only by the females (their fathers DNA stops with them). yDNA is passed on only by the males (Their mothers DNA stops with them)

For example, I got my deceased grandmothers DNA from my female cousin(she got it from her mother, my dads sister)...my father is/was also deceased.
