GENOGRAPHIC PROJECTIn 2006 a male (Richard Laughton) and a female (Jennifer Everson - nee Laughton) opted to participate in the National Geographic's Genome Project. This international project was designed and implemented to trace the routes of the male and female genetic traits from their original roots in Africa. Before you look at the results that Richard and Jennifer have presented, we would suggest that you visit the site of the National Geographic Genome Project so that you have a better understanding of why we volunteered for this project and how the results are to be interpreted. National Geographic Genographic Project: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/ If you are a male from the "Laughton" path or a female from the "Kirshner/Ognoski/Laughton" path, you do not need to sign up for the project, as your results will be the same. This would apply to all of the males from the Uncle Paul side of the family (David, Brian, Keith - and all sons) as well as to the Ognoski Sisters (Olga, Denise, Daphne - and all daughters) as well as to Grandmother Marina Ognoski and Great Grandmother Emilia Kirshner. One of the most interesting aspects of the project was the DVD that was sent with the package that explains the purpose of the project, how the test program was developed, how the results are tracked and what it all means to the individual. Each of the family members who has seen this deems it to be a "Great Movie", not just another DVD. I do not have the capability to copy the DVD but if there is an interest, I will look to see what can be done. For local family members, drop by and pick up our copy for your personal viewing - it is well worth the time! So now for the results, you will find them here:
If you have any questions about the program or results, contact either Jennifer (the "Bright One") or Richard (the "Other One"). |
