- Hi, Gena, I really love the lists of sites you have been posting in the newsletter. They are very helpful, and I just copied the ones from todays' newsletter on military records. One question I have is do you know of any good sites where records of the Spanish-American War are listed?

jan hammond said… - Thanks Gena, I have been hoping to join in with the group U5a1b1 my maternal haplo.
I am only interested in my maternal line but can only trace to early 1800 (specifically 1832 but of course know her mother's married name and maternal DNA so back a bit further, in Galway Ireland. There are no documents, famine and the troubles took all. So genealogy wont let me back further... and the maternal line are amazing women. My 17 year old famine orphan brought my maternal line here to Australia in 1849...
Can you help with information re access to the mtDNA group?
