National Geographics Genographic Project and more

Anyone interested in the routes your forefathers and foremothers took to populate the world might find interest in the National Geographic, ysearch, and mitosearch websites. (Click on the Genetic Genealogy link below.) I am a participant in the Genographic Project by allowing them to use the information obtained about my DNA in their database. In turn, they are providing me with information concerning my own forefathers’ and foremothers' migratory journeys. My confirmed male line's haplogroup (family tree branch of the Human Race) is I1 (eye one) and female line's haplogroup is H, each of which takes my direct-line male and direct-line female ancestors from northeastern Africa to Northwestern Europe and Scandanavia over a period of tens of thousands of years. My Y-chromosome also identifies my more recent forefathers as possibly among the invaders of the British Isles—most likely Anglo-Saxon rather than Viking according to current thinking regarding the value of one of my markers, or perhaps as Flemish settlers from Flanders to Scotland and England who began arriving around the time of the Norman invasion.
