Probably here.
"So, I’m guessing my ancestors were R1b somewhere along the line (I’m adopted, so I don’t know what nationality my ancestors are/were). "
Red hair is not exclusive to R1b. My neighbor is haplogroup I1a and he and his brother are red haired.
Very cool! Thank you so much for the link/ping(s). :)
That is Arthur’s hood.
Oh woad, woad is me!
Folks who get a chance to see it should also check out nearby Avebury.
I’ve been thinking about getting one of those cheek swabs...I’ll freak out, though, if it unexpectedly shows French ancestry.
This aerial view of the Avebury stone circle shows the circle enclosing the village. In 2003 missing stones forming part of the great stone circle were discovered underground using computer equipment during surveys conducted by the National Trust. Avebury Circle, built 2800-2700 bc is a Bronze Age causewayed camp—a circular structure with an entrance at the four cardinal points. The circle of sarsen stones just inside the earth rampart encloses two further stone circles.
Firuzabad, Iran.
Whoa....
Whoa...methinks while we dig inside the mounds, we miss the bigger picture. What did the ancients see that gave rise to this symbolism?

That is a darn good question...
CARAL.
My mother’s family (Colman) has a history going back to the 1700s, and their wives’ families are equally interesting. The family name Williams is Welsh, I am told. We also have a strong concentration of Dutch ancestry, with some Belgian connections. I should get my brother to be tested... as I remember, it was for male descendants, wasn’t it?
One of my wife’s ancestors was an upper class English lady. She fell in love with one of the hired hands and they ran off to America.
Actually, this particular project is for both females and males. :) You can read more about it at the link blam shared here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1423472/posts
I’m thinking of asking my husband to get tested as well. His family is Polish on both sides as far back as we have been able to trace thus far. It would be interesting to see from his DNA if there was indeed a migration or intermarriage, or if they had always lived in that area (at least as far back as scientists could tell from this! LOL).
You have the same DNA as your brother.
The only difference is that he will pass on his Y-Chromosome (male) DNA to his children but not his Mitochondral(female) (mtDNA) DNA. If you are a female, you will pass on your mtDNA(female) but not your yDNA(male) DNA to your children. You (and your brother) have your mother's mtDNA and your father's yDNA.
My father and his mother are both dead. I was able to test my dad's mothers DNA by checking his sisters daughter...my cousin. BTW, my dad's mother was a Smith and she had DNA haplogroup U5a1a. Her relatives were from Scotland when it was still possible to walk (no North Sea) and visit her relatives who are still in Finland.
Probably R1a(see post #8), maybe 'I'. See here for some info.
As above, so below?
Living in Paradise
In summary, for a thousand years during the “Age of the Gods,” from about 4200 BC to 3100 BC, it was Paradise on Earth. The climate in the Middle East was mild and wet. With Earth in an orbit below Saturn, the Sun would not have been at the center of the orbit. The northern hemisphere would have faced the Sun year-round, and there would not have been the drastic changes in seasons we experience today. Mankind lived in harmony with the Gods, who supplied the techniques of agricultural cultivation, the plans for cities and temples, and the knowledge of the wheel, writing, and music. And for a thousand years the images in the sky provided a spectacular show.
