Fold3 - Historical military records Ancient DNA Reveals Prehistoric Gene-Flow from Siberia in the Complex Human Population History of North East Europe Abstract North East Europe harbors a high diversity of cultures and languages, suggesting a complex genetic history. Archaeological, anthropological, and genetic research has revealed a series of influences from Western and Eastern Eurasia in the past. Author Summary The history of human populations can be retraced by studying the archaeological and anthropological record, but also by examining the current distribution of genetic markers, such as the maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA.

Clan RUSSELL The surname Russell is generally allied to the French Rosel and is probably connected to "rous", red. The Russells of Aden in Aberdeenshire descend from one Rozel, Rosel or Russell, an English baron who accompanied Edward III of England at the siege of Berwick and at the Battle of Halidon Hill in 1333 and decided to settle in Scotland, being designated Russell of that Ilk. A Robert Russell of Berwickshire paid homage to Edward I in 1296 and Adam Rossel was received to the King of England's peace in 1321. In 1600 Alexander Russell purchased property near Elgin and his son Patrick Russell who married a sister of Archbishop Sharp bought part of the lands of Moncoffer, Banffshire which were sold by his grandson, Alexander Russell who in turn purchased the land of Aden and other estates in Aberdeenshire. RUSSELL: Many authorities give the name as originating in France - deriving from 'de Rozel' - and such might be the case for many. Kind Regards, Charles Russell.
Your Genetic Genealogist: My Full Mitochondrial Sequence, Heteroplasmy and Comparing mtDNA designations at FTDNA and 23andMe I received my Full Mitochondrial Sequence (FMS) results from FTDNA last week. FTDNA lists my mtDNA haplogroup as U5b1, while 23andMe reports it as U5b1b2. I am fortunate in that I have four exact matches in the FTDNA database, including a close relative of Dave Dowell of Dr D Digs Up Ancestors. Often mtDNA testing is not especially meaningful genealogically, but in my case it is more so because this subclade does seem to be predominantly Finnish, which matches my paper trail perfectly. My matrilineal great grandmother Mathilda Huhtala (1878-1950) immigrated to the United States from the South Ostrobothnia area of Finland in 1902. I asked Dr. (Note on heteroplasmy- Funny how a concept becomes so much clearer when you learn that it affects you personally.) From my custom report prepared by Dr. Interestingly at 23andMe where I have tested ten close matrilineal relatives so far, one of my first cousin's mtDNA haplogroup is designated as U5b, while the rest of us are U5b1b2. Since Dr.

Genetic Ancestry, Population Admixture, and the Genetic Epidemiology of Complex Disease Daniel L. Dries, MD, MPH + Author Affiliations Correspondence to Daniel L. Key Words: Race/ethnicity is a social construct incorporating biological, sociocultural, psychological, and behavioral components, and there is no genetic definition of race.1 In contrast, genetic ancestry is a genetics concept that describes the architecture of genome variation between populations.2 All genetic variation begins locally, as a new mutation in an individual, and thus, all new mutations are initially geographically localized. Article see page 629 Population admixture initially occurred ≈200 years ago because of the African Diaspora.3,4 Since this event, an average of 7 to 10 generations has passed which means that there has been minimal recombination between chromosomes of African and European ancestry. In summary, this study by Wassel et al demonstrates that continental ancestry is associated with the risk for prevalent CAC and carotid intimal medial thickness. Acknowledgments Disclosures None.

From DNA to Genetic Genealogy From DNA to Genetic Genealogy Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask Stephen P. Morse This article first appeared in the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly (March 2009). It was reprinted in Selected Lectures on Genealogy: An Inroduction to Scientific Tools (2013). For the record, let me state that I am not a geneticist, not a biologist, and not a chemist. I’m writing this because DNA has become a hot topic in genealogy lately. So I decided to teach myself about genes, chromosomes, and DNA. The field of genetics originated in 1865 with Gregor Mendel and his pea experiments. Everything we need to know about genetealogy involves three basic concepts – genes, chromosomes, and DNA. Traits are determined by GENES. Genes are located on CHROMOSOMES. Chromosomes are composed of DNA. Now let’s look at each of them in more detail. a. Mendel is credited as the father of genetics. Each trait is determined by a pair of discrete entities (genes). b. What about two Y chromosomes?
