Maaij Claesje van Angola - Any known portraits for Maaij Claesje van Angola?

All waiting in an.......tici............pation!

L2c

So Christijn Pietersz is not Maaij Claesje's daughter but clearly her mother (whoever that is, and we may never know for sure) is West African. Can someone please change or add this information on both profiles.

Will put a Curator note showing the L2c. :-) Thanks for the testing :-)

Hi

If Maaij is not Christijn Pietersz mother, any ideas who is? I have a certain link to Christijn and would like to confirm her mother, if possible.

It appears as if Delia Robertson may regard Maaij and Christjjn to be linked.

I want to find out something. The mtDNA Haplograph L4b2b, that descends from mother to child?
I am 99% certain that I have. Maaij Claesje is my mothers, mothers, mothers....mother. So if I test my mtDNA it should be this right and confirm that I am related to Maaij Claesje and that her Haplograph is right through only female line heritage and if its not she cant be my matrilinial great xxxx grandmother?
That would explain some "unusual, non caucasian" features with the females in my maternal side, some more pronounced than others.

Herman -- unless Tretchikoff liked you then you got yr picture done !

Hi Terence .
on yr tree follow bottom line yr mother's mother >>>>mother .

Non Caucasian ? my aunt Mathilda a double for Farah Dibah , Myself olive skin , blond hair , blue eyes -- yet only 4 % non European DNA .

Terrence take the swab !! Maaij yr granny confirm it .

I am 30 % Iberian and atDNA from Australia so remember another source of darker skin and non caucusses features
Wonderful program of female 30 yr old body 11 th century England -definite African features of skull , definite African origin mt DNA yet all her isotopes show birth in W Europe most likely Denmark !

People got around long ago .

Phillipp Weyers Im definitelly going to save to do full DNA. Would be fascinating to see what it says. Looking at the ancestry on the tree im discovering it might be quite the hodge podge. Then again I have no clue how DNA mixes over the centuries with the descendants.

Each person's dna unique mix . Don't think anyone can explain how the actual mix happens .
For a man most dna from male ydna origin .

Full yDNA very expensive about $ 700.
Mtdna about $200

atDNA the cheapest under $ 100.00

Interesting subject matter.

Read whole of both articles and see the complex developments how ydna does actually survive and restructure. .

Remember atDNA from. Paternal side as well.

Sharon - you are correct we all inherit more dna from our mothers . However we inherit more traits from our paternal dna as those genes express better.
A very complex system

Accepted you were right.

Thinking about a project on Geni for DNA .
Links to explaining the whole DNA system in as simple terms as possible .
As much information as possible and add to it all the time.
A quick reference for Geni users to understand the basics and intricacies of DNA .
Know it's a massiv new field , very complicated and stil a lot of differen views about various aspects of it.
