Dear friends,

On December 15, Beit Hatfutsot (Museum of the Jewish People) &
MyHeritage announce a partnership to help preserve -for the future-
digital information about the Jewish people.

This partnership, with your help, will add millions of data elements to
the existing multimedia database at the Museum.

To participate: Go to the special MyHeritage.com page
http://www.myheritage.com/BH to accept the terms & conditions and create

You and your family are part of the history of the Jewish people. By
sharing your family tree with the Museum, preserve your family’s memory
and history forever.

Please help everyone learn about this project through providing

Tracing the Tribe just posted "New Mexico: Secret ancestry, hidden health risks" which covers the ramifications of knowing one's ancestry. While it covers the search for Jewish ancestry by individuals, it also focuses on breast (and other forms of) cancer resulting from the so-called Ashkenazi breast cancer gene mutation. This identification is wrong, as the gene is Jewish, dating from 2,000 years ago, long before there were Ashkenazim or Sephardim.

There are links to some interesting video interviews, to the New Mexico DNA Project at FamilyTreeDNA.com and to additional genetic information.

Read the post here: http://tracingthetribe.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-mexico-secret-ancestry-hidden.html

The bottom line: Knowing your ancestry can save your life.
