BULLETIN #26 9 November 2004 GENERAL INFO [If you don't care to receive future Bulletins, please send me a message and I will remove you from this distribution list. These messages are distributed when I feel there is something useful to communicate to everyone. The circulation is about 700 copies.] PREVIOUS BULLETINS & NEWSLETTERS ARE AVAILABLE If you or someone else has interest in reading some of the previous Bulletins or Newsletters, they can be viewed or download from the MUMMA archives. The index for the archive is located at http://www.mumma.org/archives/archives.html "WHAT'S NEW" MESSAGE BOX ADDED TO THE MUMMA WEB SITE To make it easier for you to know what has changed since your last visit to the MUMMA web site, I have added a "What's New" box at the top of the main web page. I will remove items after about 2 months so it doesn't become cluttered. http://www.mumma.org/mumma.html MUMMA SURNAME DNA PROJECT A new DNA page has been added to the website. You can reach it from a link on the main web site page or visit it directly at: http://www.mumma.org/DNA.htm This new page is in HTML format which should make it easier for quick viewing. Summary reports for the 12 and 12 marker data can be downloaded in PDF format. The web pages generally do not print well unless you set it to print in "landscape" and set your browser to "print background colors". I have made the data table available for downloading in either Excel or PDF format. This way you can view/print the data table in color and with proper width. New results will be reported on this web page as they are received. A few of the current highlights are:. * 49 MUMMA descendants have results from the 37 markers on their DNA. * A total of 63 men have participated todate and the analysis of 3 results are pending. * A unique haplotype (DNA fingerprint) has been identified for the descendants of immigrant Leonard Mumma. * A unique haplotype (DNA fingerprint) has been identified for the descendants of immigrant Peter Mumma. * One branch has been detached from immigrant Jacob and reattached to immigrant Leonard based on the the compelling new DNA evidence and undocumented reasons for the original attachment to Jacob. As a reminder, a DNA analysis makes a great Christmas gift for the man (husband, brother, father or grandfather) who has everything. A gift that lasts a lifetime! If interested, just drop me a note and we can make it happen. DATABASE CHANGES & ADDITIONS o The latest database was uploaded on November 5 and it contains 65,296 individuals.
