I came across your post via a post about Indian Princesses....... I was wondering how much success you have had tracking down any relatives or in your research into the names listed? I live on Nipissing First Nations which is part of the Garden…

Marilyn K. Sobiech replied to Susan J. Barretta's discussion 'using autosomal DNA as an aid to ancestral research' in the group Ireland and Irish Ancestry

Very interesting. I'm working with a man from WI and our DNA testing to date seems to indicate some Native American family connection that we have yet to put together but I'm adopted so I'm working with limited resources. …

I'm interested in the book that James P. LaLone commented on "The Life and Times of a Chippewa Indian Medicine Woman" by Thomas Ciuthbert. The link posted seems to be out of date. Checked Amazon and can't fine it listed…

Marilyn K. Sobiech commented on Blaine Bettinger's group 'Native American mtDNA Haplogroups A2, B2, C1, D1, and X'

I noticed in one of the articles it made reference to a more limited number of Native Americans that have been tested for the full sequence. Maybe one factor is the cost which may be very limiting for many Native people. Is there a way…

Interesting posting and the book also sounds interesting. I tried to click on the link that you gave, www.helium.... and the response was the article was no longer available. Is it available with a different link? BTY my haplo…

James P. LaLone replied to Marilyn K. Sobiech's discussion 'Translating Upper Michigan Ojibway/Chippewa names' in the group Native American Ancestry

Baraga's Dictionary is available for free on google books as a download. Note there is dialectic differences and there are at least three dictionaries that I know of. Never saw the webpage but I think there are a couple of pages dealing…

Translating Upper Michigan Ojibway/Chippewa names

All of the names on my maternal side of my family tree come from the Sault Ste Marie, MI and Sault Ste Marie, Garden River, and Mississauga, On, Canada area. They are all anishinaabeg names; I'm looking for a web site that will help with translation of personal names. The names I have are from about 1835 to 1895. I used to have a site but lost it due to a computer hard drive crash. There are sites that translate state place names but not family/personal names. Thanks in advance for any…See More

I've always found it interesting that I tested as C1b and my birth mother's family is Sault Ste Marie Chippewa from Sault Ste Marie, Michigan as well as Garden River, ON, Canada directly northeast. Yet all the FT match notices that I…

While I don't live in MI I am interested in MI genealogy for my family tree and keeping these records open and available to all the public. Is there a name and address to write to in support of sending the records to a library that has the…

Happy to have been of some assistance and hope what I sent turns out to be of assistance in tracking your family (and not a wild goose chase).

Catherine, Thank you so much for the help. I do belong to Ancestry but am not too good at ferreting out the information I want. You have headed me in the right direction especially in regarding my Michael Dwyer. A nice St. Patrick's day gift!

Hi To All Members of Michigan Research Group, it's great to find this group. I live in MN and need help finding my great grandfather John Dwyer who was born in MI on June 15, 1872 or 1864 and died in MN on Dec 21, 1912 when he was crushed by a…

Profile Information

What surnames are you interested in researching?: Shawan

Bomakeghick

Bomaguisic

Dwyer

What countries and other locations are you interested in researching?: Ireland

What is your level of genealogy knowledge?: Beginning Family History Researcher

For what reason did you start genealogy research?: #1 I was adopted in 1947; at that time it was not popular to be a minority of any race if you could pass for white. My adoptive parents were French Canadian and they were told by the adoption agency they thought I was FC also but, maybe, possibly, could be, whispered Indian.
#2 One son and one grandchild were born with Mongolian spots. My granddaughter's were fairly large. Many questions about my genealogy resulted and I petitioned the court to open my adoption records. The results: my maternal grandmother is from the Garden River, Ont, Canada and the Sault St. Marie, MI Tribe of Chippewa. She is listed on the 1908 Durant Roll.

At 11:33pm on February 25, 2010, Ugo A. Perego said…: Hello Marilyn. Yes, you are definitely a C1b because of the 493 mutation. What mutations did you have with the Genographic Project (HVR1)? The HVR2 from FTDNA has all the mutations for C1b, but no others that would help link to any specific lineages. Perhaps there is something more in the HVR1 part. Let me know. Thanks, Ugo

At 4:24pm on February 19, 2010, Ugo A. Perego said…: If you have mutation 493 in your mtDNA C1 report, then you are for sure a C1b. What other mutations do you have. Perhaps I can help. I tested several C1 in my Native American studies.
