Explanation for the R1b Haplogroup (DNA and it’s meaning)
This is roughly what is said about R1b:
First there was A, a descendant of A left Africa
and experienced mutational changes until becoming super-haplogroup
K. From K emerged the first R (defined by the mutation M173),
”most of his lineal descendants died off (there still being some M173 in the Dead Sea region of the Middle East and the Camaroons in Africa)”.
From R emerged haplogroup R1b1c(mutation M269) “the direct ancestor in the male line to a majority of men in many parts of Northwestern Europe [and the Iberian Peninsula], but still leave a small group of descendants as in the Middle East (e.g., Syria).”
About 40% or more of the European Y chromosomes today are R1b.
<<These … R1b chromosomes reach a veritable saturation point in the western counties of Ireland (98.5%) and parts of Spain (e.g., the Basque Region) where the numbers are close to or above 90%. R1b declines in frequency from Ireland and Iberia to Eastern Europe where it is scarce. It is still found in West, Central and South Asia, but much more rarely.>>
<<[R1b] … is found all over the world today as a legacy of colonialism, to cite just four examples it is found at appreciable frequencies amongst Pacific Islanders, Eskimos (Inuit), Latin Americans/Hispanics and African Americans.>>
A variation is also strong in Turkey.

Snow Days and Family Trees?
It has been a snow/ice day in Alabama today.
How does that related to family trees?
Well, since I am indoors from the weather, and have the flu-bug to boot, it means when I have had the brief burst(s) of energy — I have added a bit more to several ancestral branches.
No huge breakthroughs, but have made several connection I did not expect.
Last couple I stopped at was William N. Collins and Permelia Mary “Melia” Smith — don’t ask how I ended up with this couple.
They were somehow connect to the various families that I was tracing, from the Yancey County (Bald Mountain region) of North Carolina.
No family tree is SIMPLE…anyone who tells you that, has not done much research.
Somehow, the folks I have added to my main family tree file most likely are related to my Aunt Betty Jean Davis (Abernathy).
Her ancestral line is where I began today’s research project…
Okay, I am not getting much more done on this blog or the research…guess I need to get something to drink and get back to doing ‘something’ while the dryer is get the clothes done.
Another update will be in the works as soon as I find something news-worthy.

Hot Day
7 July 2010
One very hot day.
Dave and I delivered groceries to Mom; then headed back home.
Stopped at a few thrift/antique stores along the way.
Since getting in the AC, and starting to cool off, have been reading messages, and adding/correcting more items on my websites (somewhat set in havoc by my previous computer dying); as well as blogs, and misc. stuff.
Need to get things sorted out with this new laptop, get it behaving the way I want it; so I will be able to create a backup set of RECOVERY disks — then get Dave to set it for dual-boot (Windows 7 and Linux).
My head is pounding, so I won’t do much more for now.
How has your week been?
Would love to hear from my readers.

Death of a computer…a new beginning
(Take two…)
Attempted this post just but a few minutes ago — stepped away from the keyboard — came back the automatic Windows 7 update had re-started my computer. [growl!]
I lost all the text I had written (now have settings a bit different, to prevent this problem from occurring again) — I hate having to re-write things when software/OS updates cause me to lose them.
——————–——
Now, where was I?
Ahhh, heck — I think I’ll do something else and come back to this post. There are things needing to be added, set-up; and yet to be test-driven on this computer.
I promise to return – soon.
“And to continue…”

Disturb them no more: New law good for Alabama
Anniston Star – Disturb them no more New law good for Alabama
But when it came to Native American burial sites, no such protection has existed.
Thus, any mound, shell monument or place suspected of containing Indian remains could be — and often was — invaded by relic hunters or the curious. They often dug down, cast remains aside, and made off with pots and other artifacts that ended up in private collections or the black market.
Not only did they desecrate a grave, they also destroyed valuable archaeological evidence that might have told researchers more about the people who first lived in Alabama.

Anniston Star – What s up Friday April 9 2010
The Confederate and Union infantry soldiers will come together this weekend at Janney Furnace. Confederate memorial services will take place at Edgemont Cemetery in Anniston at 10 a.m. and Jacksonville City Cemetery at 11:30. An Iron Cross Dedication is also due to begin at noon at the Jacksonville location.Saturday and Sunday feature reenactments of the Battle of Janney Furnace. We’re not sure if the result will be the same, but it’s probably a safe bet.
