The World Family

When my mtdna was analyzed by the Genographic Project (linked below) a couple of years ago, it opened a view to the new areas I didn't know existed; literal places barely heard of before, Abkhazia, Adygea and Uyghur, for instance, and areas of experience, past history and current folk cultures, that have unexpected depths and dimensions.  This propelled me far and wide across the internet exploring.  Some good places of insight discovered along the way are listed below.  The links lead off this site, so you must use your browser's back button to return.  You  may be wandering for days...   (~~Lucy)
