H11 Newsletter in progress

I did work on the H11 project yesterday and all ungrouped members are now grouped. It is not of any value to do the statistics I used to do in this issue of the newsletter. In each individual member's page is all the information that I used to provide in an anonymous way which is now available to each person except they can see the matches. Thank you to FT DNA for doing such a great job in this upgrade. I can not publish the new mitogroups because that information is personal. So a small writeup on that in the Newsletter. I still have to have a look at the recent messaging online about H11 and see if there is anything other than my newsletters. 

H11 is an old haplogroup subclade which wintered in Ukraina during the last Ice Age. Presumably given the tracking of some of the members of this group it would appear that there were several paths to the west through central Europe and into southern England and through the Scandinavian Peninsula and into Scotland where my ancestor appears on the Blood of the Isles Database created by Bryan Sykes. The H11 also trekked east and south east and south west. The Blood of the Isles Database is a limited look as few markers are mentioned but the ones that are end up, in my case, being significant and it is likely that both of my lines y-DNA and mt-DNA were in the British Isles 8,000 to 12,000 years ago as Western Hunter Gatherers. Both of these signatures go extinct when my generation is gone and when the grandchildren generation is gone (y-DNA in my generation and mt-DNA in the grandchildren generation). I think sometimes it is hard to believe given that I have six siblings but there you go. However there are still, in my estimation, around half a million to a million holders of this mt-DNA and an unknown number for the y-DNA (there were fourteen matches on the Chromo2 test). This being an expensive test probably did not get as many testers as it might have. But I do know that the y-DNA is all over the British Commonwealth but not so sure of the United States as no one has tested there that matches. I do not know of any male Blake of Andover going to the United States. It became a very small family in the mid 1700s and most holders were still in England. Time will tell though and if DNA studies continue to interest people more will be available in the future. 

 Today finish up the H11 Newsletter and work on the Kipp Newsletter. I also hope to get back to the matches and there are 22 to finish off Chromosome 2 and then on to the last one - Chromosome 1 with its 250+ matches. That will take a bit of time. 

My new exercise routine now a few weeks old is going very well and I think it was time for a change to that type of longer exercise. I also ran for thirty minutes and lifted weights for 20 minutes. It gives me a good cardio load for the day and exercise level. At 80 one has to keep up the exercises as you lose the muscle tone very quickly. The balance also has to be part of the whole exercise story and I was amazed at how adding two sets of exercises that my daughter mentioned to my routine kept me from falling down readily whilst skiing. 

Started filling in my income tax with basic details and I do believe I will move to one of the Canadian manufactured income tax form programs. I suppose I knew it was American but I guess I thought maybe it was also Canadian but it is totally American owned. But at $27 for the basic form it isn't a lot but I will move to possibly UFile as it looks interesting, has a lovely Canadian flag in the corner and is downloaded to the computer which I prefer. It is sad though as I really like Turbo Tax. We were all happy I think with the status quo but time changes and life moves on and so must we. I do like what Prime Minister Carney is doing. One mustn't think of the deficit at this point; we need to think of increasing jobs and Canadian content of everything. 

Today the opening of the new Consulate in Nuuk, Greenland and the Governor General is there along with Minister Anand  and we are well represented there by many Canadian Inuit cousins and friends to support this new Consulate and it will bring us even closer as peoples. It isn't far from Baffin Island to Greenland and new trade routes are opening up in the Hudson Bay and we can all work together to make our lives more productive. 

Drinking tea and on to the Solitaire Puzzles. Still enjoying the Sudoku very much and do get a good laugh out of the Superstar label.  I do miss the sixteen games of Spider to achieve the Diamond level in that particular Solitaire game and perhaps I will return once my  eyes adjust to this sparkling as it tends to give me a headache. So move on from that; there are other games and Sudoku is great as a memory and brain game for sure. 

 

 

 

The way to the future

Perhaps it is a return to winter as we are used to with lots of snow about us these days but I feel as if the momentum has really started and Canada is finding its feet in the world. We always were in the world very much part of everything going on but we tended to not be the leader so much as a follower. But circumstances, particularly the need to be tariff proof, has lead us to a slightly different path. That path is being formed by our Prime Minister who has come out of his much quieter life to take on the leadership of Canada in a crisis moment (but he shares that moment with his cabinet supporting him all along the way and doesn't take personal credit for everything). One feels that there is a team at the top working hard on each of their projects bringing it all together and this Prime Minister is a great director. Thank you to him. Another Conservative has crossed the floor to give the Liberals a movement towards majority - just one seat short now. I think he has shown great commitment to the Conservative ideals that many of us have and our politics are such that he had to cross the floor in order to express those feelings. I do see that value in the American system where individual groups in either party will form with the other party a relationship which leads to change that is desired by the American people. Here they have to cross the floor and face that criticism but I feel he has done the right thing; we need to move forward and we can not move forward unless all parties accept that this is the best path to make us tariff proof. I do not see an alternative really that works for Canada. Go Canada Go and bring us to a position where we are able to manage and be tariff proof. That is the aim in all of this effort on our part to travel within Canada, to buy Canadian (and I paid several dollars more for items in the store yesterday so as to ensure that I was buying Canadian (canned salmon from British Columbia was one I particularly noticed)). We look at all the labels to make sure they are made in Canada. I am sad to give up my favourite cookies (American made) but must for the moment but I can think about how lovely it will be to buy a package of them once we are tariff proof. It has become a dream for all Canadians. 

I did manage to get to the Prayer meeting yesterday for Alongside Hope (was PWRDF) and it was to be special because of our reflector the Right Rev. Ann Martha Keenainak who was elected suffragan bishop of the South Baffin deanery of the Diocese of the Arctic and it was so exciting to learn so much about her Diocese. I get up and walk about during the meetings but I can hear all that is said very well; I am a restless person but that is a feature I have had all of my life! Activity and myself always have gone hand in hand. She painted a wonderful picture of life that I greatly appreciated. Another meeting following and I had to leave this one a little early just after the reflector completed her part of the prayer session. Thank you to her for sharing so much with us. Our First Nations brothers and sisters know so much about this great land called Turtle Island by them; it is an interesting name and the idea of the protective shell of the Turtle is very very interesting actually. That has only just occurred to me and we have so much to learn about this great land which stretches back way into the eons of time. 

I completed Chromosome 21 yesterday and was rewarded with good lengths of known Blake from 10 cM to 42 cM, Rawlings from 1 to 42 cM, Buller from 1 to 33 cM, I have four cousins known to me on that chromosome which is 48 cM long. There are another 8 matches that fit into various places yielding a fully known chromosome (and this is the case for all of them actually with the exception of one tiny length (2 cM) at the beginning of one chromosome for just one sibling. On this chromosome all of the sections can be identified to one of two great grandparents but I am only listing the ones in general that lead me back to a singleton great grandparent.  Chromosome 22 was not quite so obliging and I will have to review trees and matches in common to see if I can improve on that. Today I will do some work on Chromosome 20 with regard to phasing great grandparents (I have six known cousins on this chromosome). 

I did complete the H11 Newsletter and it is has been sent in for review. It is very short but that is normal for three of the four issues a year. When I do searches to see if anything new has arisen I tend to only find my newsletter but once again I did locate one interesting item which I passed along in the newsletter.

 I am working on the Pincombe Newsletter and just have to add in the transcriptions which I have done (most are available on Find My Past these days and I am considering halting that but I am also reaching the end of some of it as well). 

Groceries all bought and it was a catch up week with two of us now and my cupboards I tend to run down quite low as we do eat slightly differently and I just follow the lead and make whatever suits both of us. After a busy day we treated ourselves to a Canadian made pizza which was delicious and a lovely fresh lettuce salad (hydroponic lettuce from nearby). Life was much easier when you did not have to spend all that time checking to help make Canada tariff proof and perhaps those days will come to an end and we can go back somewhat to enjoying life as it was although the new foods that are coming in from around the world we do try because it does make us tariff proof. But we still buy a lot of American products simply because it is winter and the growing season is several months in the past now. 

Another busy day ahead but mostly research. I do enjoy the research days although the cleaning is also fine as I get lots of exercise. Cleared the snow yesterday off the porch, patio and the very top of the laneway. There was a huge pile at the end of the laneway after the municipal plow went through but the company quickly cleared that away; a well spent addition to my life for sure. 

Drinking my tea and on to solitaire puzzles.  

 

 

Twenty chromosomes completed now for the re-phasing of my grandparents

 Just three chromosomes to go and I will have completed this project of re-phasing my grandparents. The changes were except for one chromosome and just one side of it were minimal just a little adjustment here and there to compliment all the testing centres. One small blip discovered on Chromosome 7 in one length only and I will check that out again one of these days; mostly waiting for a match in that area for that one individual. 

The phasing of my great grandparents will begin and lots of data for that especially for Blake, Knight, Pincombe, Rew, Buller and Taylor. There is a fair amount for Rawlings and the last one I still have to be sure I am not seeing the matches of my earlier marriages in the Rawlings line with Cotterill/Cotterell (spelling varies). I did trace the two lines of interest back to a common parent with my Rawlings line having married into the Cotterell line in the mid 1700s and again in the 1800s. A brother of this early Cotterell was the ancestor of the line at Kimpton where my great grandmother was working. The priest recording the surname as one of the middle names of my Grandmother did point in this direction and the matches are coming with the companies suggesting a possible connection. I would say that in general I will look at the data and see where it leads me for sure although in my mind is a young girl and woman who loved her family and really it was never mentioned as far as I know until I was helping to put together the family tree for my parent's 60th wedding anniversary and couldn't find her birth registration or baptism. At this time it continued not being mentioned but the answer was soon found in the paperwork and about 100 British pounds later and a number of documents I had the answer. Myself I loved this grandmother that I never knew and really it does not matter to me; I love her anyway just because she sounds like a lovely grandmother to have had but missed because she died when she was 64 five years before I was born. But my grandpa said she loved the two grandchildren that she knew and that is wonderful that she got to know two of us. The young man of interest in the projected position of being my great grandfather died at just 54 years of age and his cause of death was mentioned somewhere and I made note of it because I have made a medical history of the family. We were blessed with really good genes actually but an inadequate exercise routine life style has taken its toll in the past and one hopes that it stays in the past. They say the youth of today is much more inclined to a good life style and that is excellent news actually. Other than arthritis which both of our parents had and the two grandparents I knew meant that perhaps we would all have arthritis. My answer is to run and walk a lot. It does help. Staying out of the frigid is helpful as well but the walking is definitely good for an individual I think with arthritis. 

Back to the writing of the books to a certain extent now and I did spend a bit of time extracting any new matches but I shall be rather picky these days and just select matches that give me extra and new information.  The days of collecting vast amounts are in the past I believe. I will get my entire genome done once it is set up and I already have a kit that I want to buy but it waits for that. Other than that the DNA is just going to compliment the books where it is valuable. There are some sections of Blake that have passed down through the centuries and I am always alert for Americans with deep Colonial ancestry who match but the matches are so far in the past but they are large and in what is generally referred to as a common area or pile-up area in the chromosomes. I may get into tiny studies on that we will see. 

I have missed doing the Pincombe Newsletter and the H11 Newsletter and will get that done in the next couple of days. All my concentration was into those matches for sure. I learned quite a bit in tiny ways as the changes were, surprisingly except for one chromosome where I knew there were problems and just on the one length, very minimal which I hoped for but was prepared to be corrected if changes emerged. Collecting over 2000 matches during the past decade plus did pay off for sure in terms of a good phasing of our grandparents. 

Today the car goes in for its snow tires and I take it in soon. The radials are good tires and until 2012 we never owned snow tires. I shall be very cautious and the walk home will be lovely. Although it is pretty cold but I will be dressed for it. I had the flu and couldn't take it in two weeks ago I was too sick but someone else desperate for their snow tires would have gotten that appointment so worked out for everybody. I started it yesterday and ran it for about five minutes until is was part way warmed up so hopefully at minus 20 it is going to do the same today. I also have to pump the tire probably we will see if the light goes on. 

Tea drank and solitaire puzzles to do and then the day of research (and taking the car in) begins.  Still avoiding the news in terms of my thinking about it a great deal. We need to become tariff proof and that is the aim. I still think that we need to give some space to the car companies that are afflicted by tariff to do what they have suggested they will do - Canada is a huge market in terms of car buying and I suspect no company really wants to lose it and will try to work around the difficulties that exist and might just be solved when CUSMA comes up for renewal - really everything is a bargaining point. We have a great deal to offer for sure but we must be a more independent country but still every bit of best friend and neighbour to the United States. One cannot share the huge border that we do and be any other than best friends. We have a lot to offer each other for sure (during any cold spell any one in Canada does think about the warmth of the Florida beaches or so many other warm places in the United States). We can outlive the cold but the warmth is nice on occasion! Our two hundred plus year friendship has been something that God wanted to see between His people; I am very sure of that. They are a larger country and like a big brother really but big brothers want to see us be as successful as they are in order to have this continuous land mass stable and efficient and prosperous and best friends. 

Tribalism

The H11 Newsletter is on the website (forgot to put that up). 

My father always said that tribalism is the biggest cause of trouble in the world. But what is tribalism? Does my 100% English ancestry going back minimum six generations and much further mean that I am a single tribal descendant? Absolutely not as I do have Huguenot ancestry from the late 1400s arriving in Somerset from France. I also have Scot ancestry with my Routledge family arriving in Cumberland around the beginning of the 1400s in the Bewcastle area. My possible Irish ancestry arrived in Lancashire/Warwickshire area in the latter part of the 1700s from Northern  Ireland so even with all that English ancestry I have a lot of British Isles and Northern European ancestry. But I think to him tribalism was more of a mindset where one begins to think of their locale/area as a distinct unit but no one on this earth is of a distinct tribal nature unless you belong to one of the secluded groups that are becoming rarer and rarer in the Amazon and other isolated spots. But they are not truly a tribe but rather just a hermit group of people who have managed to keep civilization away from them. 

The danger lies in thinking that you are unique and that uniqueness gives you some sort of a special footing and to me that is tribalism. At its worst we saw Hitler using brute force and creating a police state that spilled out over its borders in pursuit of land and riches. That is what we always need to prevent and at the moment both Hamas in their barbaric attack on Israel and Russia in their barbaric attack on Ukraine exemplify "tribalism" where they assert causes that they claim gives them a right to do these things. They need to be nipped in the bud and forced back into the area they sprang from with no gains (where does Hamas belong; desert island perhaps with lots of sharks around it). Still the hostages are not released and it is more than 1.5 years since that was demanded by the International Court. All the children stolen from Ukraine not yet returned either by Russia. 

The origins of Hamas are actually unknown to me; I assume they are disgruntled Muslims (they appear to claim to be followers of Islam which is actually hard to believe given the murder/torture of the Israeli people committed by Hamas 7 Oct 2023) who could not make it in their own country; found a commonality with each other; tried to take over Egypt and then thrown out of Egypt they leached onto the Palestinian people and we have the result in front of us - the Palestinian people still being used by Hamas to try to attract the attention of the world and create hate for Israel (but most importantly money and land for themselves because they are just greedy and they decided on this route to satisfy their greed). Russia used the "clearing out Nazis" route to invade Ukraine which is just another big lie; it is Russian greed for land and resources that drives Russia but what have they gained; a lot of deaths of their own youth and a lot of hate from Europe which was actually coming around to like them. They sacrificed the goodwill created by their contribution to the Second World War although their contribution entirely on the Eastern front with the Western Allies being the victors in the west, north and south. 

So tribalism is a mind set having almost nothing to do with your ethnicity which in my case appears to be 100% European with 66% being British/Irish if I look at 23 and Me, going to Living DNA I am 100% British and as I continue the rounds from Ancestry to FT DNA to My Heritage to the Genographic Study the numbers vary here and there but in general the 100% European/British Isles remains as the overall accepted value for my ethnicity. But that only goes back a few thousand years and we all sprang from the south around the equator!

But we need to watch tribalism where some people support one group as being superior; that is a mistake for sure and exceptionalism can happen in any society that is not repressed and encourages education or in a repressive society but with sources (like well educated parents or some other source) that can supply knowledge and create exceptionalism from the gifted children in our world.  

My thoughts for the day and we had a great rain yesterday; much needed and appreciated. Thank you God.  

Newsletters published and it is minus 23 degrees celsius

 The newsletters are published for this  month and on the right day. Hopefully a pattern to be completed at the end of every month. Life is returning to normal. Today is Sunday and I shall go to Church and my email tells me that it is being celebrated at St Clement, Sandwich in the Diocese of Canterbury and the service today is for the Feast of Candlemas. The theme "Jesus is the light of the world and the light in the darkness" is an eternal one in the Christian faith. I miss actually being in Church but I am 79.5 now and if life can make it possible for me to just go to Church at home that does work well.

My thought on trade was lets go back to the way it was; no trade between Canada and the United States (if we want to buy something than we just cross over buy it and pay the duty required on the return). With our new border surveillance we should catch anything, even a rabbit trying to cross the border (and especially guns and fentanyl as we do not want either of them loose in our country (the guns need to be registered in our country we are strict about that and the fentanyl destroyed)). This way our youth can re-create the industries of the past that were in Canada before they were bought up and sold so that the competition could move their products in. This time no selling of companies to anyone outside the country. We can sell to each other we are thirteen provinces and territories. That way we will all be happy like we used to be. People can still pass back and forth through the border crossings and we can smile at each other and be the two hundred year plus friends that we have always been. Supporting each other when catastrophe strikes and praying for each other when tragedy occurs. That is what friends do.

Plus Europe is desperate for gas and we could sell them gas and oil. I think that is the way it used to be; people were desperate for particular items and so a country sold it to them. That probably works better.

I bought all the ingredients for my regular chicken stew and it will have onion, potatoes, carrot, turnip, brussell sprouts, frozen broccoli, frozen peas and frozen corn all grown in this country and frozen in this country if need be along with Canadian chicken. That way we do not have to worry about trade; we have it all here.  I will miss the fresh fruit, fresh vegetables (fresh cauliflower in chicken soup is wonderful) of all kinds that came up to us (great while it lasted) but our friendship with the United States will be strong as it has always been these last two hundred plus years.

Another day in the frozen wasteland but I shall be writing and today continues to be the Pincombe-Pinkham family (another shared family with our neighbour to the south as there are many many of each of us in both countries and in our native England (and South Africa and Australia)). This book could be quite intriguing. I may publish it widely because it has less theoretical ideas other than the possibility that the Pincombe family of North Molton is descendant of the Pencombe family of Herefordshire. Life is always exciting. 

The Blake family of Andover book continues along as well and I will return on Monday working on the ancient documents for the Blake family of Calne that I ordered and have received so quickly. The contents of them may be most revealing. 

Teatime. It is Groundhog Day and it is really cloudy so at least six more weeks of winter but in this area there is always six more weeks of winter at least one hopes so. We need the snow cover. Solitaire games to be played. That will be a challenge for me as I renew in the spring with Microsoft. Oh dear how did we ever get so entwined. Perhaps I should give it up until the new administration comes in four years! I can always play it with a deck of cards!

H11 Newsletter in the final stages

It took longer than I thought to review all the data - 499 sets of results is a lot. However I have completed that task and the subclades are all ready to go. Instead of just having unknown for people who do not know their location prior to arrival in Australia, Canada or the United States (principal areas where H11 arrived during the immigration period), I have added in their destination country to the chart. In general most went to the United States because it had open immigration whereas the British Empire tended to have a more closed emigration system. 

I am just going to do a search to see if there is anything new on H11 and then will publish the newsletter. Today I need to complete the Kip-Kipp newsletter but it will only discuss yDNA because my knowledge of the Kipp family is very limited but I did help Edward with the yDNA study. 

Tariff day it appears and the first day of our recovery from our loss of industry here over the last fourty years with many many small industries being either bought out or they closed their doors as they could not compete. It is an opportunity with unemployment at around 6.7% but it is higher in this country because of paid maternity leave with women staying out of the workforce for up to two years and I believe they are included in that total (I can always be corrected). 

Europe needs gas and we have it. We need to get in there and help with that. Yes I worry about the problems with carbon pollution but we have greened everything as much as we can and our contribution is low. Chemically speaking we should be able to do this with the lowest pollution level possible. Alberta can produce it as can the Maritimes.  There is still a lot of winter left in Europe (as there is here; it is minus 18 degrees celsius this morning at 6:15 am).

What we need is to start to produce small machines like washing machines, dish washers, stoves and all that type of appliance once again here domestically. Our dollar is low so if we ever did produce enough we could export them but the domestic market would be large and of course no tariff. Then there is furniture and parts of Ontario were powerhouses for furniture production and we need to get back to that. Young people still living at home can think about the incentive money that will be available in Ontario to do startups. 

Farming too needs to have fresh input from adventurous people who love to work in the outdoors. I can remember my great uncle (Frank Pincombe) who simply loved being on the land and he farmed to his last day. His father (Richard Pincombe) had come to Canada as a young boy with his older siblings and younger sister. This family was on the land their entire lives which included my grandfather (John Routledge Pincombe) and the Pincombe farms were all close by in Middlesex County, Ontario. We do need to do this as quickly as we can get ourselves going whilst the competition is priced out. Then hopefully we can learn to love winter (I do actually; it is this wonderful time of solitaire and working) and not sell our creations and retire to Florida!

Then there is the military and we need to build that up and our equipment. We want to get that done to do our part in NATO but also because our military is our backbone of support when tragedy strikes whether it is the rivers overflowing and swamping the land and trapping the people or ice storms or fire. We need our military and we need it to be up to number. I like the GI bill in the United States; it was a marvelous idea on their part. We need to offer free education to our retired military as many of them are still quite young when they retire and probably could not have afforded advanced education but for their service we should give them free advanced education on retirement. I really that is a must in this modern day and age. I could also be that they want to set up a business if they have been working in construction or creation within the military as not everyone wants to sit at a computer all day long where there is an opportunity for creativity and development in so many different aspects of implements that we use every day. But of course I come from a trades family where construction was very important in the installations that were done by them.

Back to work, must get the newsletter out right away after my search and will drink my tea as I work. H11 newsletter on the website is complete and on the FT DNA website. 

Need to decide on how to do my exercise now that I am adding in the rowing but at 15 minutes rather than 5. I have to adjust my cardio load. This update to FitBit is rather interesting as I appear to quite often exceed my cardio load. Whether that is good or bad is hard to say but I am trying to stay close to the top of the suggested load for the day and not exceed by too much. I am after all 79.5 years of age. 

So the Kipp newsletter is next and I am contemplating it. Then I can return to the Pencombe book and continue my reading and thinking about what I have written thus far. On Monday I return to the Blake but it is also my large cleaning day so not a lot of accomplishment but perhaps good days to read the new documents that are in my box and ready to read. Thank you to those two archives for their speediness. I of course sent them exactly what I wanted and they complied with exactly what I asked for so not involving a lot of time just work to extract and scan it for me likely. Having been at Kew where in some cases you just get a box with the particular number that you are asking for in it but it is along with quite a bit of other information in the same lot number and it is likely that these repositories have the same conditions although gradually so much is getting on line and there is so much discussion with some of the documents that are online contributed by the archivist. Great work for sure.

Assignment completed

 How incredibly sad the plane-helicopter accident was in Washington. It was on the news all day as they initially tried to rescue the people on the plane and helicopter but no one found alive. Prayers for the lost and for their grieving family members continuing. God be with them.

 I now have all of the new H11 results into my database and can write the newsletter today. Twenty five new people brings the group up to nearly 500 (499 members). It is amazing really and it is one of the oldest of the H haplogroups dated around 45,000 years ago for its emergence and principally a central-eastern European haplogroup although it is found present day in Scandinavia, western Europe and the British Isles as well as the emigrant countries - namely America (members of the project are American and Canadian) and Oceania (India, Australia and New Zealand also make up some of the members). The updated version of the mt DNA haplotree (Version 17) shows no changes for this haplogroup. The number of name holders though is likely in the million but in a world of billions that is not so many.

No tariff on oil would be a good idea for sure but I still think we need to build refineries and get our surplus oil to market at full price - huge benefits for Alberta and Canada in that and the Northern Pipeline was discussed in an affirmative way.  We would  have two pipelines to tidewater and our own refineries in abundance once again. As for the auto industry, in the nineties that was pretty much decided on in order for the American companies to be able to hold on to their market here (living in the past is a mistake). In reality these cars passing back and forth across the border is meaningless because they are not finished products and should not even be considered for tariff because no one actually knows where they will end up being sold - for instance my car is made in Canada (Dodge Caravan) but likely it spent time in the United States as well being built. Trying to destroy that cross border activity will only damage the industry here in Canada in terms of sales for those companies - do they want to lose a 41 million customer base. We bought a Toyota (made in Canada) during the last debacle over the car industry. Interesting that that period of tariff being commented on at the  moment in discussions ended with the Great Depression. And who emerged from the Great Depression - some very wealthy people and most of the others poor struggling to get ahead (no one wants to repeat the Great Depression)!

I spent an extra half hour in the grocery store yesterday reading all the labels so that I am ready if tariffs go on (regretfully I will give up all American products - I do love fresh fruit and vegetables and apparently my cookies are made there (bought some lovely cookies made in Quebec yesterday just in case)). Love my American neighbours (and many of them are my cousins) but upsetting the apple cart is not a good way to do business and will wreck havoc in the business world in both countries; it isn't fair to the American consumer either as their prices will go up (unless of course all the wealthy people plan on sharing their money with all Americans). 

I said at the beginning of the discussion on the 51st State that being one large continental area is a good thought in terms of preservation of the northern part of this hemisphere. A closer economic union would give us that. Merging our federal police forces so that there is a combined group to protect this part of the continent also a good idea. But we would be the equivalent of 13 new states and that would certainly have an enormous effect on Congress if there ever was a union; that is the only way that we would combine - as 13 new states. A territory without representation as suggested by at least one of the Republican Senators doesn't work and a single state does not give us sufficient representation in the Senate. We are after all a huge land mass full of all sorts of wealthy products and potential products that would be an enormous asset providing the First Nations were on board with that.  But I think the present status quo worked very well on the 11th of September 2001 and will always work well in the future for our caretaking of this continent. One can depend on Canada to be the best neighbour as we have always been during the last two hundred plus years now. Our friendship goes back a long way.

More hostages released in Gaza yesterday including the young woman who was not released as promised the last time. It really is time for all the hostages to be released now and immediately as demanded by the ICC over a year ago now. Hamas insults the world along with Hezbollah and the Houthis and there really isn't any place for them in the Middle East. They have been tethered and it is pretty much in God's hands what will happen to them; they do not deserve any better treatment than what was meted out to the Israeli (and other) hostages this past year and a half. Perhaps that is the answer to shove them all into underground prisons until they grow up and stop their bully tactics.

A busy day ahead working on the two newsletters. I definitely do not want to receive requests for money from my party (Conservative and I have been getting them much too regularly) when there isn't any sort of a plan to handle the upcoming year here in Canada in that request. Once bitten; twice shy! We do not  need a federal election until we see what happens with the Liberal Party (and I hate the way they throw money around without careful accounting) in March. I also disagreed with prorogation of parliament but the precedent was set by - guess who, the Conservative Party. So let us get to work, check where it is made and on with the show!

I still have to say that the "Gulf of America" is not a bad name considering it is surrounded by South America, Central America and North America (Mexico is part of North America). This is the American continent so a Gulf of America sounds great actually. No problem with that. Too bad no one has taken a poll calling people in all of these countries in the Western Hemisphere. Then there is the name Turtle Island which I admit is growing on me. I wonder what part of the Continent it refers to? Perhaps I will learn that. It refers to the continent of North America apparently so that is very interesting. It comes down as an ancient story in the culture of the First Nations. I do find all of this very intriguing.

 I was sorry to see Jamie Battiste drop out of the leadership race but he is young and there is plenty of time to do that in the future. He is a member of the First Nations.

I also received my two documents already which is very much appreciated. I shall set myself to the task of transcribing them out of the Latin which will take time but for the moment H11 calls and then the Kip-Kipp newsletters awaits me. My the days are so busy.

Cleaning accomplished and this must be a newsletters day

I have slotted in today as a newsletter day and will try to keep to that. I do like to have a regular schedule for the newsletters and this time there are two due - H11 and Kip-Kipp. The H11 I only produce once a year at the moment although that could change this year we will see. The Kip-Kipp is published four times a year but is a new addition since my husband passed away and I decided I should publish what I find in his records that he hasn't published or hasn't published in a way that is more permanent. 

Yesterday I worked on my ancestry matches - I do try to keep them up to date but another three months has passed since my last update into my Ancestry atDNA database. I am looking at it these days and with all the new matches in the last couple of years it had grown enormously. I am contemplating cutting out the good matches (i.e. over 25 cM - remembering that they do use TIMBER on their matches) that occur across all four of us and might be handy. On the other hand; sometimes I am the only one matching (I am the outlier in the family) and their matches do exist but are small - so I need to think about that aspect as well since these matches have been interesting. But for this set I will continue down to 21 cM for each match in terms of selecting matches for the database. There are 26 new matches with seven being over 25 cM and I am just now seeing if there is more than one chromosome length in the match. There are often trees and I can see where we are related giving further proof of the strength of my tree without actually knowing where we are related. Because I have so many other matches in databases where the match is known I can visualize where we are likely matching but in essence it doesn't matter. Surprising really and Ancestry provides such an easy way to create your tree and correspond that it is useful without the actual data. That isn't to say though that having the data is actually something I would pay an enhanced membership to have for sure. 

I had one thought whilst I was cleaning away and that was we do appreciate having the United States as our first trading partner for everything. But selling more of our oil outside of that sphere would be an enormous benefit to us especially at full price since we give the United States a discount (and other products too); we could even go back to refining oil as we did before the refineries were bought out by Americans as I recall back years ago (that would be a better use of federal monies - helping to support such a venture). I continue to dislike the way that the Liberals tend to just throw money at it and hope that it sticks. It did not work well during the pandemic and cooler heads must prevail and ensure that the money is spent in a way that benefits the economy because that is what will suffer. Canadians are resilient and can make do with what we have stored to eat this winter and local produce. The symbiotic relationship between the United States and Canada has been strong through many years now and we both have prospered. What is the aim really to upset the apple cart? Our dollar trading low means that our exports are more affordable around the world and we will increase our trade in that way. But trading as we have been  in a north - south pattern has benefited so many of the states as well as us (but has created provincial barriers which restrict our trading between the provinces/territories). We have many businesses that are Jewish that tariffs will also hurt; our Jewish community is large especially in Quebec and Ontario which would be amongst the hardest hit by tariff. Do the ultra wealthy make money on this weakness that is created; is that the reason? Sad really as they make their money on the backs of the citizens of the countries wherein they operate whether they run a company or just sit on the stock market (and they are the biggest users of the facilities of any country because they can afford it (private airplanes amongst other things like the protection offered by the federal government)). They should have more respect for the people of the country where they are making their money. It is the regular person who will be most damaged by tariff because the profits of that venture will go into the treasury and support tax cuts which are huge for the ultra rich and minimal for the lower income earners. Just my thought on a busy day. Money is what Jesus said - evil in the wrong hands and should be used to help all people in a country in a reasonable way and not taken away by restrictive measures. Because companies always seek profit they do not want to lose the customer base that they have currently and going international always increases the customer base (unless harm is done to the base by tariff). But has money become an industry in itself with crypto - interesting.

So tea is finished, solitaire puzzles to play and then breakfast.

 

Cleaning day and two newsletters to plan

This is basement cleaning day and I have two newsletters to plan for the 1st of February. Is it even possible that the 1st of February is arriving. One month into 2025 already.

The first is for H11 Newsletter and we have a new Version of the mtDNA tree - Version 17 to review. However, there are virtually no changes in H11. It is an ancient mtDNA grouping stretching back to the Ukraina Ice Refuge during the Last Glacial Maximum when Homo sapiens retreated from the advancing ice sheets to relative safety in a number of Ice Refuges. My line of H11a2a2 appears to have advanced early on out of the Ice Refuge towards Doggerland and into what is now the Argyllshire/Ayrshire area of Scotland. Our closest relatives (with the 16265G mutation) are the larger part of this mtDNA haplogroup subclade. Primarily this particular subclade is located in the British Isles with the larger group having crossed through Europe with groups staying in various locations all over Europe actually and then some groups moving on to England, Scotland and Ireland as both sets of data can be found in the Blood of the Isles Database. This newsletter will be the yearly roundup of numbers in particular subclades that I have prepared from the accumulated members of the group. But in reality this grouping represents only about 10% of FT DNAs database of H11. Is it a good cross section? I have no idea actually but they will be coming out with a similar charting of all their members I believe. 

The second is for the Kip-Kipp Newsletter and this time I really must look at the data and see what I can come up with in regards to the deep ancestry of this line. The distinct signal of this family that settled in New Amsterdam in the late 1630s is remarkable in that there are few close matches to them - they generally stand out very well in the results as being descendant of this Kip family of New Amsterdam headed up by Hendrick Hendricksen Kip whose demographic information from Amsterdam appears to be quite complete pointing out his likely birth area in The Netherlands. At the time he was born, it is likely that the area was part of this country at that time as it is to this present day. But it is a sort of bulge in the map into Germany and I have written about that history in an earlier newsletter. All newsletters are available on the website of this project. 

Other than that I am working away on various projects as time passes quickly and I would like to keep to my schedule. There is still the thesis being scanned. My grandparents and great grandparents DNA being phased on the basis of five siblings/grandchildren/great grandchildren results in DNA over several testing companies with at least four at each of them. The number of matches is large and I am slowly getting them entered into my database. One new Buller result with a known third cousin has proven to be very interesting and helpful as I was missing information on that line to a certain extent. In reality between the five of us we all received some DNA on every chromosome from each of the four grandparents - there are no gaps which is amazing really. That has allowed me to go back to the great grandparents although that is pretty experimental at this time. But I do have quite a few third cousins which I find very helpful. In that I do not have any first cousins and very few second cousins (so many have tested), having the third cousins has worked extremely well for me especially as the five of us have inherited differently in many cases and the difference between the two that match the least - my second oldest brother and myself being the outliers is quite large actually for a full sibling. It is those differences that make it easier to do the phasing. 

I must get back to the building powerpoint presentation for Orleans United Church as I had moved away from working on that - time escaped me. But their 50th anniversary does not occur until 2028 I think - would have to look that up but Edward would have liked me to do it and offer it to them as he loved being part of that building process. They actually went in and did some of the work building including my older daughter. She was up on the roof helping to shingle when she was just thirteen years of age. She used to manage the sound room at the 11 o'clock service in her later teens until life at university became too busy. But I was a little shocked to see my baby up on the roof for sure but I never said anything as she wanted to do that. 

Well the morning is moving quickly and so must I. Yoga and then breakfast, tea finished.

May Day and my grandparents

May Day I always especially remember my grandparents. Celebrated in the British Isles and Europe as a major holiday, May Day was also a memory my father would share from his memory of life in Eastleigh, Hampshire where he grew up (he was nine years of age when he came to Canada with his mother, his father had come six months earlier to set up house for them). He would tell us about dancing around the may-pole. It was this lovely day that everyone shared in. It is like a breath of fresh air here as it does tend to mark the end of winter and usher in those warm spring days (albeit we could still have snow!). 

I did manage to get the Kipp Family Newsletter published; that was interesting that I thought it was time for the Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletter (1st of June is the next). But when I brought up the template I realized it was actually not due for another month and so worked on the Kipp Newsletter. It was just two pages as I will only discuss the yDNA results now for the Kip family of New Amsterdam/New York from which my husband descended. I decided not to put out an issue of the H11 Newsletter; I will do two issues this year - one completed already the 1st of February and the next will be the 1st of August. 

I re-watched the fifth introductory you tube video on the Untold Story of the Kingdom of Judah. It is a very heavy educational lecture which looks at the ancient Nation of Israel from the Biblical information, the archaeological information and the written historical information. I will watch it a third time just to make sure I did not miss anything before I move forward to the sixth lesson of the introduction. The Old Testament part of the Bible is really the story of the family that walked and talked with God.  It is a family story and like all family stories the flow is not always uniform and there are different writers but overall the picture is the story that was handed down from generation to generation and is a gift of the Hebrew people to the world. There are none to few other written records that could provide us with so much detail on the very ancient world that our ancestors lived in. But it remains a family story in those early chapters of the Bible. This series is exceptional in its depth and breadth of discussion and I really appreciate that the original lecture series (produced by Dr Lipschits) has been translated from the Hebrew to English by Professor Oded Lipschits of Tel Aviv University in Israel. It will take me quite a while to watch the entire set of lectures but then it does generally take an entire semester or perhaps two to work through all of these lectures. 

Today is a Pencombe-Pinkham research day and I continue extracting information from Find My Past. It will take me several months I expect and I am going slowly as I work my way through each record placing it where I can readily relocate it for linking purposes. I always contemplate whether I should do this on paper but I do have the charts from the earlier study to look at as I am working away. Although I do not agree always with these charts (my own line is incorrect) they are a good start discussing the family. That is more than there was before the two researchers started for sure and each researcher that follows will increase the depth and breadth of the study. Certainly I am sure that others will follow my work, dissect it and make changes/corrections. I thank them for it as that is the purpose of research to refine, improve and correct. 

It is time to think about tea and latin.

Today, the Kipp Newsletter

 Yesterday was totally a cleaning day and I really did not do very much else. I always find two days off from so much reading is good for my eyes. I did watch Question Period and that was really rather strange - I felt like I was watching the European Parliament where tempers do flare at times. It just seemed so unlike the usual in Parliament. I do like pleasant discourse in Parliament for sure but election time is coming and the clock is ticking for sure. Am I influenced by what happens in front of the camera - not overly. I can be irritated but Pierre Poilivere is young and I will give him a little more of a pass than I might otherwise. He can feel power and it is interesting watching that effect on him. I do not like it that he associated with "white" nationalists in a way that looked a bit too chummy perhaps. I would like a clearer statement from him on their (white nationalists) radical views. Surely the population of "white" nationalists is not sufficient to affect the election. I was very much in favour of them being turfed out of Ottawa in what I considered a very considerate and professional process. 

But then I am not in favour of sit-ins of any kind that disrupt. Write it down; publish it but do not congregate in large numbers and insult or threaten those around you. If you have a point to make then make it; I will listen but at 78.5 years I have lived a lot of history now and will weigh everything based on that history not on the moment. Mistakes get made and the best way to solve them is to back off; accept the wrongs that have been committed and then we can move ahead with a discussion on how to solve problems - they are not solved by inconveniencing the world around you. The youth needs to learn that. Especially now when they are totally outnumbered by these adults which is the world which they will enter - we have lived a long history you should listen to us and not people who use the moment to gain influence. The lies that are being circulated are unacceptable; they do not hold up in the light of history. What does hold up is this enormous loss of life in Gaza which was preventable - Hamas remains totally at fault. That the Palestinians even around the world appeared to be aware of this event (the brutal barbaric attack on Israel 7th October last) prior to it happening is unacceptable and the loss of all those children is a pain that the world bears but we do know where to lay all of that responsibility and it is with Hamas and those who support them. The hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally as declared by the International Court of Justice more than three months ago. There is huge sympathy for the people of Gaza but we will not abandon the Jewish peoples both worldwide and within our own country. Hamas continues to threaten the Jewish people constantly (they have not taken back their desire to commit genocide against the Jewish people); the Jewish people have a right to life and property too; they are an ancient people on their own lands. Release all  the hostages Hamas, now!

Actually today is the Kipp Newsletter; I was a month ahead of myself - Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletter is the first of June. So much going on around that I did make that mistake; one must concentrate on what the order is. Not actually sure what I will put into the Kipp Newsletter at this moment in time. It will be just two pages likely but I will see if there is anything new in the y-DNA on the FT DNA site. I have moved forward quite quickly as I have ascertained that my husband published everything  he planned to publish. It has taken me a while to check that. I do want to publish his PhD Thesis in Chemistry and will do that so it is available if anyone wants a copy. I also plan to publish his collection of wild flowers which is extensive as we traveled about in our youth before children. It was something that interested both of us. But I will maintain the yDNA study of the Kip family of New York/Amsterdam into the future now that I have done the Y-700 test on his yDNA. There is a lot to learn these days as more and more information comes forward taking us back in time to look at the evolution of the Kip family from which he descends. 

It is also the publication date for the H11 Newsletter and I will contemplate whether or not I will publish a second issue, third issue and fourth issue for this year's volume. The day is ahead of me whilst I think about that. I will do a second issue in three months time. There are a couple of new members on the site but I do not do that collection until the 1st of February. There isn't any new news on H11 (other than the fact that the war against Ukraine which Russia started and continues probably kills quite a few H11 people). It is a haplogroup found in both countries.

Lots of rain and I think the grass is growing I must go out and have a look. Latin finished, tea drank and breakfast even completed. The day begins in God's world; we should rejoice and be glad in it. Thank you God for the gift of life itself.

H11 Newsletter published and Kip-Kipp Newsletter in process

 The H11 Newsletter is published and I did find a couple of interesting articles to go along with the organization of the data. It is interesting putting the group together in a rigorous fashion but as I mention this is also done by FT DNA in their haplogroup section of the mtDNA group by mutation. Although looking at my own page I note this is not quite as deep as I thought it was. Interesting to see the number of people in H11a2a1 who have tested at FT DNA and it totals 157 compared to 27 in the group so about 17%. In both cases the location of the furtherest back ancestor will be the same (unless hidden) because the same data pool is used. I will continue to produce the Newsletter as it does give access to the Statistics and I do a slightly different style of laying out the results. 

The Kip-Kipp Newsletter will talk about the yDNA results only and the Statistics for the group descended from Hendrick Hendricksen Kip of New Amsterdam/New York only. I would include material if anyone wants to send it to me but for the moment I will discuss the Y-700 test using information that was shared by another researcher as well as my own thoughts. 

Hopefully May 1st I will be on time with both. 

Interesting new papers in Nature and Nature Ecology and Evolution on a find in Ranis, Germany with Homo sapiens being present 45,000 years ago and living alongside Neanderthals. "Homo sapiens reached the higher latitudes of Europe by 45,000 years ago" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06923-7 

Perhaps back to my books today. Since I accomplished nil on either this week I will probably just do a rerun in thinking on both of them to remind myself of where I am at. 

Teatime.  Groundhog Day in Canada and it is cloudy. The groundhogs will  not see their shadows in this area and we usually do have more than six weeks of winter to come anyway!

Accomplishment - nil

Although I cleaned yesterday my accomplishment yesterday was absolutely nil otherwise. But perhaps that is good; great rest for the eyes. Today I must finish the cleaning - basement to do. 

Minus 6 degrees celsius out there but no snow promised particularly. Since this is our wet season when the ground receives lots of moisture that is not a good sign. Climate Change and its effects on Canada are quite disastrous really as with all polar regions. But good news the solar panels have reactivated the lander that Japan sent to the moon. Life continues if people will let it. People are so greedy.

I do still really like the idea of bringing in thousands of Palestinian children to Canada (3 to 8 and possibly to 10 years of age (depends on the child because we do not want them spouting lies such as we heard here on the streets of Canada following the despicable acts of Hamas and their sycophants on the 7th October last) as they will require minimal processing and they deserve the break from war). Surely the likely 10,000 households of Palestinians can take in a lot of children and perhaps other people would as well. Not something I would take on as it is much nicer for them to have a "foster father and mother". Giving them a chance to run and play; to learn and be free of bombing would be great. They did nothing to cause the life in which they are living (too young to effectively dig tunnels one would assume although these Satanic Hamas people might try to have them do that) and can only benefit from the opportunity. They can still be in touch with parents on a daily basis with the wonder of internet yet they will have a happier life. That would be a better way to spend our support money for Gaza; then we know it is not building tunnels/equipping war machines and threatening Israel. Or we can just give it to the Rohingya peoples who are in a much more desperate plight with very few people aiding them. 

According to the Wikipedia page on UNRWA 5.9 million people are registered with UNRWA. Who are all these people?  As of 2023 2,098,389 people live in the Gaza Strip. Why are they not working to support themselves; why do they need this support? For one thing they reduce the support per person in Gaza by 50% if they are actually all receiving support. No Islamophobia here; I just think people should work. I have worked since I was 12 (and before that I helped to look after my younger siblings and of course it was just in the summers when I was a child) and I really do not see why the fields of Gaza are not full of food being grown - wonderful climate there. It is the same soil as Israel has I would think and they grow an enormous amount of food. Tilling the soil is the least that people can do for themselves and for a young person is an easy task instead of digging tunnels or whatever else they are doing - bomb making, no ideas on that.. Tunnels everywhere but no food being grown - very strange and something has to change there obviously. Hate against peoples is a sin; laziness is a sin. God does not forgive sin which isn't overcome and removed.

Free the hostages and get out of Gaza Hamas. Hamas is evil; they are Satanic.

Other than that I am thinking about the Blake and Pencombe books. They slowly grow in my mind as I continue to search for documents to help me to prove a point or find a point to prove really. There has been little done on these families between 1200 and 1500. There is material and I just need to put it together in a rigorous fashion. Then I can begin the generation chapters. 

Are we on the cusp of war; the waiting time as my mother called it. You could feel the tension rising and then sinking down a little once more but gradually the tempo built and then it happened. That was what she said. War is horrible; so many young people die - look at Russia's illegal war against Ukraine. Now the talk is trying to deny Ukraine its right to be a country by those who support Russia or just want to steal part of Ukraine! Remember Poland and how it got divided up near the beginning of World War II; people are so greedy.  Glory to Ukraine and Israel; prayers for Ukraine and Israel. Prayers for the world which is also feeling old with Climate Change.

Teatime. Kip-Kipp Newsletter and H11 Newsletter in process.

The day has brought out a few thoughts

Cleaning all accomplished and the research week begins. Knowing one's history as far back as possible is rather interesting. Although my interest in my youth was purely science from a knowledge of Chemistry and Physics to knowledge about the universe that surrounds us I have moved from that in my old age to an interest in these many surnames in modern times that have created me plus the eons before that when tribal lines were my ancestry leading back to the ancient times. My grandfather had this strong belief that his people had always lived in the Andover area of Hampshire, England. Thus far I have not found anything that would say otherwise. Blake being a rather old surname and it does appear in the records of Andover area back into the 1300s but it will not be me that really does that research because one needs to do that in the Record Offices back in the British Isles. That Blake is a surname with a number of founding lines is rather interesting and the surname projects leads one down many paths.

The Yazidi people are much in my thoughts these days. I had always thought of them as an early Christian denomination and certainly ISIS pretty much destroyed the entire population in Iraq as Infidels. It is something to keep in mind as these Satanic people (Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihadists ISIS and others like them) destroy any peoples who do not fit into their decision on who can live in this world. These Satanic people must be put somewhere so that the world is protected from them and we can have peace. The really deep thought this day is Iran the only one funding them? It is a mystery we must resolve for our own existence. But minds much greater than mine are on that for sure and the thought passes from my brain. And it must not be us funding our own demise thinking we are helping in this case the Palestinian people. There must never again be any way for satanists like Hamas to terrorize the Israeli people; murder Israeli babies in their cribs and kill/rape/torture Israeli men, women and children in their homes/schools/places of work.

Prayers for Israel and all the Jewish people of the world. Prayers for Ukraine and perhaps in the depths of all this Russia and Ukraine will find a common meeting ground where both are content. Prayers for the Palestinian people and free them from the clutches of the Hamas terrorists who constantly use them as human shields. When the life of a Hamas terrorist is in danger then they gather around them as many Palestinians as possible in order to create a news story that blames Israel. But we are cognizant of your tricks Hamas. What you have done to the Palestinians is criminal using them as human shields. God says "let my people go."

Working on the Kipp Newsletter today and the H11 Newsletter (just one issue for this year) has now been published. My reasons for not publishing the newsletter were perhaps not entirely consistent with how I have dealt with all of my newsletters and so I will continue to publish just the one issue a year at the moment (1st of February) that looks at the data in depth and countries of origin. H11 emerged from the Ice Refuge at Ukraina (an ancient name for an ancient place) and slowly but surely took back the land around them and moved further and further afield until perhaps as much as twelve thousand years ago they returned or came (who knows) to the Highlands of Scotland where my ancestral mitochondrial line probably lived according to the work of Bryan Sykes in his writings on the early British Isles DNA - "The Blood of the Isles Database".  What would drive these people so far; certainly following the herds that they lived on would be part of it but was there also that desire to see once again the enormous ocean the Atlantic that lines the coast of Europe/Africa, no  ideas on that. But I can see the attractiveness of the human spirit that wants to know in all of that. Men and women working together moved west from Ukraina and moved east as well and once again an ocean was that the attraction that drew them to the far east where the eastern continent of Europe/Asia faces the Pacific Ocean.

No snow today on the ground but soon it will be covered and once again my country moves into their long cold winter. The day beckons.

mtDNA H11 study

I have not published the newsletter for the mtDNA H11 study since Russia invaded Ukraine in that a number of my members are in Ukraine and quite a few in Russia. I felt that it was not correct to do that. As time has passed I have been contemplating releasing the 1st issue of the year as it has the most interesting details regarding the naming of the subclades. There is no personal information in that newsletter. I mention countries of origin as given to me by the participants only. Although I do include some of the mutations as I create the different subclades. I will think about this for a couple of weeks and may decide to publish last February's newsletter (already produced) on the 1st of November and that would mean that the newsletter would then be produced again on the 1st of February with the yearly summing up of subclades and new additions. 

I am a conservative person in my outlook and I do come from a democratic country so liberal views are expressed in my country which is their right. But I am perhaps not providing a full enough experience as I have been doing with this particular research project. All of my other projects (three of them) are still being published every three months and I have not even noticed if some of the members of those three groups are living in different countries around the world. 

It was the shock of one country invading another sovereign country in Europe and I still feel strongly about the rights of sovereign countries. Nothing has changed in that regard. 

But the recent events in Israel have made me aware that a very large population of people on their border - the Palestinian people have been lead by a terrorist group whether they liked it or not and I have continued to support both Israel and the Palestine people although rejecting the philosophy and character of Hamas which is a terrorist organization. Perhaps I should have considered that at the time when I stopped publishing the H11 Newsletter. And so I have decided to consider it and will likely publish the February Issue on the 1st of November of the H11 Newsletter. I will also continue to support verbally the people of Ukraine who have been invaded and continue having to defend themselves and push out the invading Russian army. 

As I continue to support Israel. I do not trust Hamas; they do not want the people of Gaza to move away from Gaza City and I believe would do just about anything to keep them from doing that. Appearances more than prove that. The Palestinians offer Hamas a protection that would be stripped away if they are gone. Hamas has no other interest in the Palestinian people. They have done nothing for them since they took over the government in 2005 (or thereabouts) except keep them in a rather needy state. None of my business though particularly I am too busy writing my books. I am now hearing 85,000 pregnancies ongoing in a population of couple of a million where half of them are children. Their birthrate is very high. The heavy use of incubators is interesting. I wonder if they have a high level of blood disorders. I haven't thought about that for a long time. Anyway not something that affects all of this particularly. I am sure there will still be a lot of children born in Gaza for quite a while yet. In the pictures they are very attached to their children.

Watching the video and Israel does have a lot of high tech all around the perimeter. Identifying the blast as the responsibility of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad who are dedicated to the establishment of their own Palestine. They likely did it to break up the meeting between President Biden and the other Arab State leaders planned after his arrival tomorrow. They will not scare Biden away; he is made of much sterner stuff than that. Plus they wanted to blame Israel as they are also dedicated to the military destruction of Israel. Israel has a lot of enemies and Hamas is likely preferring to blame Israel rather than the actual group who did it. This organization would eliminate or absorb Hamas and they are also involved in Egypt which has now outlawed them. Israel has done well to survive so long actually. This group assassinated Anwar Sadat president of Egypt about fourty years ago. They are an older group known originally as the Muslim Brotherhood. This does add to the problem and it is one that the Arab world will want to settle quickly. Blaming Israel is perhaps just a way to get them to lighten up on the bombing I am sure Hamas knows who bombed the hospital. The PIJ is a very serious threat to the Palestinian State which the people in Gaza would like to have. They have attacked Israel many times and they are very familiar with their modus operandi.

H11 Newsletter Volume 6 Issue 1 is published

 This issue of the H11 Newsletter is only available from the mtDNA H11 study on the FT DNA website. Although the results are anonymized I do not wish to publish them on the open web. If you have tested at FT DNA please do join the H11 project; all are welcomed who have mtDNA H11. I do publish the other three issues of the year because I do not publish the update in subclades other than the first issue. 

I did notice some errors in the 1st issue of Volume 5 and they are corrected in this issue. 

mtDNA is very interesting. If you happen to have a less common haplogroup subclade like H11 it is possible to learn more about your deep origins although not always. But the gift from doing mtDNA is learning your deep ancestry about your furtherest back female ancestor. One can roll back the years in one's mind and imagine the life of our ancestors living in a cruel and harsh ice age world.

H11 Newsletter and The Siderfin Family of West Somerset book

 Today, thus far my accomplishment level with regard to the H11 Newsletter and the book republishing on my blog of The Siderfin Family of West Somerset has been pretty much nil. I am also trying to get the Columbarium purchase completed and preliminary organization of the Celebration of Life and Internment Service for Edward will begin in February. However, I will be in Deep River so will have to do that on the Thursday or Friday when I come to Ottawa for my grandson's therapy sessions for his Autism. I am also trying to plan my own cremation and internment and I will begin that process in June after Edward's Celebration of Life. 

There are only six new members of the H11 study since November. I will get them assigned to their subclades and can then begin the process of looking at each and every member to see if there are any changes in their genealogical information. It takes quite a while to go through several hundred samples. I do feel that the new mtDNA chart that FT DNA has produced is very good. I would like to see more deeper subclades in H11 under their subclades but it all takes time. A little difference in the way that kits are moved into their subclade and now that I am used to it; I think it works very well. It will take me quite a bit of time to go through all these samples as I am resolved to open every kit this time and not assume that what I have recorded is still correct. I shall check. I do find working on this H11 subclade to be quite interesting. For the most part it is European in background with perhaps a little overlap into Asia but not very much (people from the western edges of Asia may not have tested in large numbers so can not be assumed to be absolute). My subclade still continues to be in Ayrshire/Argyllshire and Northern Ireland which is actually a nice treat since the actual birth location of my great grandmother is still based only on her death registration and the census listing Birmingham, England. 

The Siderfin book I opened to have a look as I have not worked on it for a couple of months. The will of Robert Siderfin is interesting and not included in the original book. I found quite a bit of information I can see and so will move on to the next will  by Christian Siderfin in 1648. That will be my work tomorrow along with working on the H11 compilation for the Newsletter in early February. 

Somehow I thought that I would be working on the Kip-Kipp Family Newsletter for a much longer time. But it is ready to go and I will publish it on the Kip-Kipp yDNA project on the 1st of February and hopefully I will not forget.

There are nine new members since the last update on the subclades with Issue 3. All new members are now assigned to their individual groups. Information which follows will revise my reporting in February as the YFull mitrochondrial Tree has been updated and I will use their coding for naming so changes will be forthcoming in the full issue of the next Volume of the Newsletter. I will also have to consider whether I am actually providing a service with this Newsletter. I am contemplating that I could start up a Kipp Family Newsletter with the Kipp Family Study and that could become my third newsletter. I have switched the orientation to Landscape in order to display the H11 table at YFull in section 5.

 

3.   In Memoriam: Barry Hinman, Librarian Emeritus Stanford University
I sadly discovered yesterday that one of my correspondents in the H11 study passed away in July this year. Barry Hinman (Librarian Emeritus Stanford University) and I have been corresponding about H11 for five years. I did try to persuade him to become a co-administrator and he did consider it but he had other items he wanted to write up and the H11 study does take time. His own line was somewhat rare and not yet charted independently on the Phylotree. He had sent me an email in March 2021 which I have only just reached and responded to him yesterday but sadly the email bounced back. He had found some new work on T961a which supplied him with a subclade name for his particular grouping. I am happy to say that that did happen. At the time I was very much involved with my husband's illness and just could not grapple with anything. I did write to Dr. Mannis Van Oven about the Phylotree and had sent him all of Barry's information as he published the latest update in February of 2016. The new branch name which was selected by Genetic Homeland -  H11a1b.

4.   H11 in the News

T961A does occur in some members in the study. To date the phylotree does not take this particular mutation into account in its rendering of H11 haplogroup and its subclades. I am not able to determine yet if there will be an update to the Phylotree. The last build was 18 Feb 2016 and it was mtDNA tree Build 17. With new information from a member of the study I have emailed Dr. Mannis van Oven and will let you know if I hear back from him in the full recitation of results in February 2022.

 

Some information on T961A includes: “The full sequence mitochondrial test at FamilyTreeDNA shows this maternal haplogroup to be H11, but with a unique variation so far not shared with anyone else in the United States: T961a. The mutation T961g is the significant marker for the group H11a as is A16293G,  which these women do carry. A new subclade for T961a will have to be created in haplogroup H11. The site Genetic Homeland has done so, calling the new subclade H11a1b.” Submitted by a group member.

 The mutation T961g is the significant marker for the group H11a as is A16293G, which these women do carry. A new subclade for T961a will have to be created in haplogroup H11.

“The site Genetic Homeland has done so, calling the new subclade H11a1b.¹  Another site, YFull, agrees and further estimates that the subclade was formed about 800 years before the present. All of the persons known to have this mutation are shown to be from Russia.²"
