A bonus post for this blustery Saturday - while looking in the issue archives for the Journal of Genetic Genealogy, I found a recent article mentioning a familiar name from my tree. Jeffrey A. Wright published a case study in the Spring 2024 issue titled "Identification of the Mitochondrial Haplogroup of Elizabeth Martiau" [full article, PDF]. Well that's really cool. Elizabeth is my 9th-great-grandmother. I visited her gravestone at Yorktown in 2016, and posted about her father Nicolas Martiau in September 2015 (see also here).
This is a very fascinating case study, and it makes me wonder if a similar mtDNA study might help resolve the question on the wives of John Carter. I wrote about this question last February. Wright's case study approach gives me some ideas.
