Hello fellow Cianchette/Cianchetta,Cianchetti/Chanquetti family!
Hope your Christmas went well and wishing you all the best for the New Year!
For anyone interested in genetic genealogy (genetealogy), amazing strides
have been made in the 4-5 years I've been working on it! We're refining family
(genealogical) relationships, we're ruling out unconnected people carrying
same/similar surnames, and we're delving into the anthropological aspects
(origins and migrations) of our common past. I am thoroughly fascinated (despite
a steep learning curve) and having fun testing all the lines I can find!
I know most of have a pretty good handle on our Cianchette line, but there
are some questions: What is our connection to the Brazilian Chanquetti
family? And what about the origins of our line--where did they come from in deeper
history and what other families are we connected to? Where did the name
come from? Is it true that our group came from the refugees of Troy (Haplogroup
J2) and settled Sulmona as well as Rome?
One of the cool things that's happened this year is that National Geographic
has begun a worldwide project to track early human migration all over the
world. They're testing indigenous folks (in return they offer assistance with
educational and social programs). The guy who's in charge is Spencer
Wells--the guy who did the Public Television special called "The Journey of Man"
which many of you may have seen. Anyone who wants to support the project can
get their own testing done and see where they fit in the early migrations.
(You also get a copy of The Journey of Man, your specific Haplotype and your
Haplogroup and a map of where your group came from and went to. I can explain
this further if anyone is interested.) To look at the National Geographic
Genographic Project, go to
_https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html_ (https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html)
This project is also teamed up with the company we genetic genealogy folks
have been using for years (yippee!). And THAT company is offering a discount
-- thru tomorrow! -- to new members available thru group leaders. I'd love
to see some Cianchette/Cianchetta (etc) folks get into these databases! So
far, your cousin, Dan Cianchette, is the only one there; he is Haplogroup J2
(probably J2x--very unusual!) though I'm in the process of getting more
testing thru our sons. I'd really lie to see some comparisons thru you folks!
*Please know that this is something I SPEND money on (though it's reasonably
priced)--I don't make money. And it's a cheek swab--no blood. And it's only
very specific markers they test so it's no use to Big Brother...
Sorry for going on so long, but I really hope some of you will find this
worth pursuing! And not just on your Cianchette lines! It seems very likely
that within 10 years, people will START with DNA testing, find out who they
connect to, and THEN embark on their genealogical quests... Please contact me
(preferably on the Cianchette List at Rootsweb) if you have questions. If you
want the discount, please join at

Join under the "invoice" option and then let me know so I can get your
discount applied. It expires on the 31st...
I hope this note ALSO stimulates some activity on our Cianchette-L list!
Best wishes for the new year!
