Re: 5 Rare Genes
Marcia, I have had my mother mtdna tested here. I think I may do the rare genes for her to try and narrow down what rare genes I may have that she has. My father is no longer living so thats not an option for me. I had thought the Europa gene would show up in my results but did not. Thank you for yo...

Rhineland Palatine yDna
I have spent the last few years researching my paternal line and am at a brick wall at my earliest known paternal ancestor. Michael Swink b. 1725 Palatinate d. 1781 Rowan Co. North Carolina.

Re: Chroniclers Reveal Who and Why in India
This is most interesting. Thank you for sharing this. I do have Scinti on my Rare Genes results. What I also find interesting with this article is the mention of Nepal as I come up with small amounts of Indo Tibetan on Gedmatch calculators.

This Veatch line seems to go back as far as I can find to Scotland 1500’s to a Malcom Vietch Muirdean. I see variances in the Veatch name in Scotland 1...

5 Rare Genes
I received my Rare Genes results the other day. I was a little surprised. But after researching into my family trees, genetic testing, family pictures, as well as the results from my Melungeon test it all seems to make sense.
