The posting of the DNA markers is wonderful! Thank you so much those who have contributed! Yesterday I got a book out of the library about how to interpret DNA markers - what each one means and how it pinpoints a location. Well, at least I hope that's what it will do. I'm thinking it would be helpful if everyone could see why ("el porque" as my father always used to say) this or that marker puts our origins in different places. If anyone else wants to post their DNA results step right up! The more the merrier!
In the mean time it's also wonderful that our cousins are all reaching out and making contact... putting up a hand and saying, "Hey I'm here in... and my father or mother was..." Our name is uncommon and we come from those first settlers who made their way from Europe to PR. We are primos and we are waving to each other across time zones and the seas!

Hello Geno researchers, this is Randy Caban-Rosario ny DNA results show Haplogroups I-L161 paternal and A2AM maternal, This was done through National Geographic and Family Tree DNA. Another breakdown is Mediterranean 42%, Northern European 25%, Native American 12%, Southwest Asian 11% and Sub-Saharan African 7%.
Hi Randy! That is wonderful! I didn't know that National Geographic was also doing DNA testing. That's certainly worth checking out. Regarding your Ancestry DNA... we both have Native American and African. I've wondered if the Native American was Taiño? The African is to be expected, in my opinion, as PR is such a mixed place. Truly... we are ech such individual and unique people though well linked to each other. I love it.
