Subject: [CARAWAN] Carawan mtdna Results from Hatteras Island, NC
The DNA results are beginning to come in now from Family Tree DNA for
the
Hatteras Family Reconstruction project. This is focused on Hatteras Island
in current Dare, former Hyde and Currituck Counties in NC.
As they do, we post the genealogy and explain how this works, of course,
with the hope that others will see the benefit and want to test as well.
Between all of us, we can reconstruct many of the early settlers who are
our
ancestors - and lots of people can benefit. Here's why. When someone tests
for a particular line - anyone descended from that line benefits. With
mitochondrial DNA, which is the maternal line - there is little question
about "who's your mother", so we assume that all descendants share the
same
DNA info, and those descended through females only carry the same mtdna.
On the male lines, we presume that unless there is an undocumented
adoption
of some sort, that the yline (paternal - surname) DNA matches all the men
who carry the surname - however - because we're also skeptics and
realists -
and undocumented adoptions did happen - we encourage men of this line to
test to be sure you match the line you think you match. Also, Native
people
adopted the surnames of their neighbors and those they admired - so we
expect to find Native folks carrying white surnames, probably of their
neighbors - but not matching the neighbors DNA - so when we post the
y-lines, please consider testing if you haven't.
This group of women share their genealogy and their mitochondrial DNA.
This DNA participant is haplogroup K, also European, but less common than
haplogroup H.

This is kit number 128572 on our web page at
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/HatterasMothers/default.aspx
If you descend from any of these women, or any of the sisters, mothers or
maternal aunts of these women, then this applies to your family tree.
Does anyone have any info about Hepsibah?
