Subject: [Beasley] BYU Molecular Genealogy Study
To All Genealogists and Family Historians --
There has been some talk on a couple of the lists of late
concerning a study being done by Brigham Young University.
I went to the web site and this looks like a wonderful
beginning step in creating a true, genetic genealogy. In a
nutshell, they're taking blood samples and 4-generation
pedigrees from people all over the world in an effort to
create
a MOLECULAR GENEALOGY of the human race.
I spoke with the Director of Public Affairs for the Houston
Family History Centers and he expressed an interest in
putting on an event here in Houston to support the BYU
study. You could do the same thing in your communities
and we could really help get this project off to a roaring
good start.
Security/Privacy issues are discussed at the site.
Here's the URL:

I sent this messages to the lists to which I am
subscribed. You may want to forward it on to other lists.
