Thanks for the note Susan.

Hi Susan,

I agree, the story is improbable. However, the geneticist in me loves the notion of answering old questions (I'm a plant geneticist by trade). European and Native American mtDNA are easily differentiated. It might make a great story. On the other hand, I understand leaving old mysteries alone.

If you or your female relatives give it a try, let me know if you get a chance.

All the best. Your ~8th cousin... Jeff Young
