18.01.2022 Our DNA fact today is....Did you know that each cell in the human body contains 6 to 9 feet of DNA? While the total number of cells in the body is tough to determine, it is estimated that the human body is made up of approximately 30 trillion cells.

10.01.2022 This NEW collection is an extremely important genealogical resource, not only for the rich detail and information recorded for each person and household, but it also helps to bridge a thirty-year gap in census data: https://ancstry.me/2ruPch7.

08.01.2022 GEDMatch is not a DNA testing company but a site where individuals can upload their autosomal raw data in order to find relatives or matches. They have been in the news recently after the police used their database to catch an evil murder and rapist.

03.01.2022 April 25th is not only my Birthday and ANZAC Day in Australasia but is also National DNA Day in the States. It commemorates the day in 1953 when James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin and colleagues published papers in the journal Nature on the structure of DNA. Furthermore, it commemorates the successful completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003. The goal of National DNA Day is to offer students, teachers and the public an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the latest advances in genomic research and explore how those advances might impact their lives.
