Joseph,

It took me a while to make the decision of doing the dna tests but
eventually I could not stand anymore to ignore it.

My Y-DNA test showed that my haplogroup is "E3b", a type of haplogroup
that is very widespread all around the Mediterranean sea, and my
mtDNA, on the maternal side, came as "A", one of the five Amerindian
haplogroups.  

So far, my closest matches on my paternal lineage have all been
persons that share my own surname, whom I have only known of now that
I have been researching these matters.  On my maternal DNA I have no
matches so far.

Emilie,

Using the right side ALT and the ? keys simultaneously produces the ¿
symbol.  It does work.  Also, the admiration symbol ¡ can be typed by
the use of the right side ALT key plus the ! key.

the ? key to get the Spanish character for "el signo de

settings, I have not tried it.  Does that work? (Sorry I couldn't
respond in Spanish).  When I reset my computer for the Spanish
characters I still might not be able to have that one character work.
 I found that the exclamation character doesn't work with my MSN
Explorer.  I don't have Outlook Express (Internet Explorer) because my
MSN Explorer e-mail is web-based only in order to not have my e-mails
to other Internet Providers blocked because I have a msn.com address
on another e-mail account.

Members and cousins:

It would be very interesting if we all had our dna

results, but I believe we would be very much the same

since we share the same Mexican ancestors and they

also came from the same region of Mexico, Spain,

Portugal.



Any comments?

If we can only go through the female line, then I'll have to go through another site. My mother was from Scotland, and her mother was from Ireland.:( Marge

a female that I can only do the mtdna (female)line. I ordered mine

through Gary Felix's site.  My husband ordered his from another even

though it's the same lab.. he does not have ancestors from Mexico.  My

test kit arrived in 10 days, my husbands took 6 weeks to arrive.  I'm

waiting for my results now and expect them by the end of June.  I also

like how the Mexico site will hold our results for 25 years and will

notify us if there is a match with someone.



I don't fully understand how they analize the results but expect to

find African, Espanol and Indio blood lines if my research records are

correct.  I'm hoping they break it down in percentages, Joseph, do you

know how it's done?

I would love to see how others did thier dna tests. I feel cheated as 
a female that I can only do the mtdna (female)line. I ordered mine 
through Gary Felix's site.  My husband ordered his from another even 
though it's the same lab.. he does not have ancestors from Mexico.  My 
test kit arrived in 10 days, my husbands took 6 weeks to arrive.  I'm 
waiting for my results now and expect them by the end of June.  I also 
like how the Mexico site will hold our results for 25 years and will 
notify us if there is a match with someone.

I don't fully understand how they analize the results but expect to
