Hi, I just wanted to let you know that your link to Horlacher is no longer good. Our company has taken over their materials, and the new link is: http://www.progenealogists.com/scandinavianimmigration.htm

I've used my personal Google account to log this comment, so if you'd like to just change the link on the page and not show my comment, that would be just fine. Thanks!

Genealogy and Genetics

Our DNA does not fade like an ancient parchment; it is not rust in the ground like the sword of a warrior long dead. It is not eroded by wind or rain, nor reduced to ruin by fire and earthquake. It is the traveler from an antique land who lives within us all. - Dr. Bryan Sykes, in The Seven Daughters of Eve Famous DNA lists DNA Haplotypes (DNA signatures) for famous, or infamous, people: http://www.isogg.org/famousdna.htm International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) , new non-profit promoting greater understanding of the uses of DNA within genealogy, and support network for genetic genealogists.

Elizabeth 1840 Census 1850 Census Elias married 1. Margaret JONES, 9 July 1854 in Warren Co. Iowa (Certificate #11, William P. Jenkins, J.P.). *Does anyone have any information about Margaret Jones - who her family were, when and where she was born, where she lived after the divorce, and when and where she died?* Cousin Terri says that they were in Kansas 1854-1860, and that the couple was divorced 1858 in Kansas.

Alsace

Alsace (Ger. Elsass) is now two French departéments, Bas-Rhin [67] (Lower Rhine) & Haut-Rhin [68] (Upper Rhine). The Territory of Belfort [90] is sometimes also included. The Territory of Belfort was formerly part of Haut-Rhin. From 1789 (French Revolution) to 1871, the Departément of the Territory of Belfort didn't exist, because it was included in the department of Haut-Rhin. After the war in 1870-1871, all of Alsace was annexed by Germany except the region of Belfort, which became the "Territory of Belfort" (departément n° 90) in France. After World War I (1918), Alsace became part of France, but the Territory of Belfort remained a separate departément. So, if you have an ancestor who lived 1789-1871 in Haut-Rhin, check for records in the Territory of Belfort. In general, the Alsace was French 1648-1871, German 1871-1918, French 1918-1940, German 1940-1945, French since 1945. A short timeline-table, called Alsace-Lorraine — an Enclave of Ethnic Germans in France
