Categories Of Genealogy: Find Your Family Heritage Without Too Much Hassles


Finally, you will never have any difficulty in tracing your family heritage. Choose one among the different genealogy testing categories that suits you best.

There are many ways to find your family heritage through genealogy. Relative genetics is the most common way. This performs a series of tests on DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in different categories.

1. Ycs Testing. The Y chromosomal DNA (Ycs) is utilized in establishing the genetic profile of the ancestors who are already dead. The father passed the Ycs through his son largely unchanged. The inheritance pattern of Ycs is similar to passing the surnames common to most cultures. Discovering clues within the paternal lineage becomes quiet easy using the Ycs. This is an incredible tool powerful in helping genealogists to trace the paternal lines.

Relative genetics have reported that between eighteen and forty three years old, different values on specific regions of the Y chromosomal DNA are present. Every locus has undergone validation and standardization in a way that it can provide people with the greatest chances of specifying their paternal lineage. The information becomes very important to genealogist in identifying the closest relatives as well as establishing approximate time or distance to the latest common ancestor.

2. Maternal Line of mitochondrial DNA testing. This is used for disproving or supporting a relationship in the same immediate maternal line using mtDNA . The mother passed this type of DNA to her children but only the female children pass this down continuously from generation to generation.

The mtDNA testing is taking the benefits of a specialized DNA form passed by mothers to her biological children. So, each child virtually carries an exact mtDNA copy of their mother. Therefore, all siblings have identical sequences of mtDNA. Thus, mtDNA became an important investigative tool to research direct maternal lineage ancestry and exploring ethnic origins.

3. Ancestral Origin Testing (mtDNA, Ycs, or autosomal testing). This is useful for people who are adopted and simply curious about their ancestral heritage. It also provides prediction about the anthropological haplogroup which originates from either the maternal or paternal lines. Haplogroups refer to wide ancestral groupings which originated a thousand years ago. They also correspond to an early migration of humans having connections on the different geographic locations all over the world. Therefore, information about haplogroups can reveal a deep ancestral origin.

- Y chromosomal DNA Haplogroups. Once this is identified, you can take a glimpse on the deep paternal line ancestry. Every indigenous race of people in this world is an affiliate of a certain haplogroup.

- The mtDNA Haplogroups are subdivided in different sub-lineages, more often population or regionally specific.

4. Extended Family Testings utilize autosomal DNA. The twenty two pairs of chromosomes considered as non sex located within the cell nucleus is known as autosomal DNA. One half of the autosomal DNA comes from the father; the other one half comes from the mother. The purpose of this test is to authenticate relationships beyond simple maternity or paternity lineage.

What Would You Do If Your Salary Was Frozen?

People think they have it hard today. What would you do if your Salary
was frozen until your debts were paid?


Going back to the 1500's and 1600's people were fined for things
that were pretty harsh in my opinion. Salarys were frozen until their
debts were paid. How did they feed their families? How did they buy
clothing? Think about it if your salary was frozen, what would you do.?


They were fined for hitting a brother and swearing. They were fined for
entertaining to long, and exceeding pub hours. They were also fined for
gossip and name calling. I wonder when the fines for these things
ended.



Just a little humor here on the right I have a youtube video gadget type
Geneology in the search on the gadet listen to the song .  I'll talk about
that at a later time but I thought it was humorous.

Tracing your Roots

Do a search into your family history and you will be amazed at what you will find.
Genealogy and the search for one's history may vary in detail. This can be as simple as tracing the names of people related to you, forming a family tree, and indicating to which specific family you belong to. This can also be as deep as researching and finding out the personal life of each family member that you are able to find. People search for their families because of various reasons. Some may want to find a relative who have been lost due to circumstances beyond their control. Some examples are mothers who have been separated from their children or were adopted out by the family for many reasons. Also people who have extreme emergencies, like finding a donor for transplants, or need to find out for medical problems they may have inherited.
Modern science has made family history more interesting for people who are serious about their family history. The science of heredity and the study about DNA have made it possible for two people to determine if they belong to the same family line. Many online sites are also available now to help people to find practically anyone, with just a simple search like the one at the bottom of this page.
I have researched my family history back to the 1600's. I have many question that were answered . And was really surprised at the information that I acquired. There are also computer programs which have been specifically designed for this purpose.
