Todays Interview:
This audio interview is number 162 on DNA at:
http://www.irishroots.com/content/view/97/144/

DNA and Genealogy

We cover a lot of territory today, with our old friend Bennett
Greenspan of Familytreedna.com. I’ll just mention a few of the
things we cover today.  It is a very wide selection of topics.

Male and Female DNA
We’ll cover the well known ‘Y’ DNA testing as well as the
newest interest in Moms DNA or the female DNA.  Then
listen in to the newest thing: Autosomal DNA testing which
few have tried yet !   (By the way it is the female DNA that
they usually have to look for in those Egyptian mummies.)

Irish DNA
Become more familiar with terms like R1B and M222 and what
they mean to Irish genealogy, and find out how many people
might descend from Niall of the Nine Hostages in Northern
Ireland !  We also talk a bit about Norman and Viking DNA
in Ireland, and the location of the Vikings there.

The Neanderthals
Then we make a note of Neanderthal DNA and what the new
discoveries mean about Neanderthal DNA in us !  We also
talk about the storage life of DNA and its usefulness.

American Indians
We also note the American Indian, and how at times the
families that inter-married with the Irish were called the
‘Black Irish’.  An old term, with yet another meaning.

All in all, you will learn a lot about DNA and genealogy in this
session, and in particular Irish DNA and Genealogy.
