I really couldn't say one way or the other. the MtDNA results are my
maternal  (mom's mom's mom's mom's) side and I have no documented
records past my grandmother. . .in fact I didn't know her name until
recently: Antonia Lopez from somewhere in Jalisco.



But on my paternal side going out to some GGGG grandparents some are
identified in baptism records as mestizo, coyote, mulatto, and negro.

, but maybe from someone with Moorish or Arab blood.  The Moors
were the powers in Spain only until shortly before the ancestors of the
current Spaniards had kicked them and the Jews and Arabs out.  A
Spanish friend from the Basque country told me she was proud not to be
"hija de moro ni de indio".  (She can't help it- the Basques are very
proud). 

 

I knew that my father's surname OLAGUE is Basque, because he
told me so.

After all this conversation, I got really interested about submitting 
my DNA as well as my Tapia DNA through an uncle. Another member and

Well, in the next couple months I will probably get several samples 
from different family lines. (As soon as I get the cash for it)

I just have a question, maybe I just need to read Gary Felix's website 
more carefully. Is there a table or something that explains what do 
all those numbers on the tables mean? Also, what is the difference 
between 12, 25 and 37 marker? What does it mean?

its embarrasing but I don't really understand it all

Well, I guess I will never find out where my father got the word
"tarayata".  He was always laughing when he said it, sort of like
calling us "rascals" when we were rough-housing with him.  He was not
prone to name calling, and being from Mexico, he spoke proper Castilian
as his people had.  My mother, who spoke a strange old 17th century
Spanish dialect from New Mexico (according to my Spanish friend), one
that I no longer hear, was not laughing when she called me "tonta,
suata, surumata, tisica, fea, chirisca, prieta, trige~na" all in one
breath.  I must have been a handful, and I think I am the only

Here is the form letter I send out to those that want to be members of
the group. with more and more people who don't speak English expressing
interest in the group I'd like someone to translate this form letter.



Actually before doing that I think it would be good for someone who has
a good command of English to first go through it and correct my poor
English. Even a wholesale revamping of the letter would be okay as long
as strength of the 2 absolute requirements stayed in the text.



Does anyone have suggestions? I never said language was my strength. .
