An Interview with the DNA Doe Project - Identifying the Unknown Through Genetic Genealogy

[@geraldstamour1312]

As the adopted son of an investigator [retired police officer], you two are rock stars when it comes to naming the nameless!

[@annereidy7981]

These ladies are doing something truly good in giving something fundamental back to those poor souls.

[@Ishinews]

Aren't they wonderful? :)

[@DNAConsultingDetectives]

Two hero's in the world of genetic genealogy. The best way to help? Upload your DNA to GEDMatch and opt-in to Law Enforcement.

[@JohnnyHands]

Done!

[@Juliemorgana]

This is fascinating work! And so worthwhile.

[@susanmorgan4151]

Remarkable your work is done without the expectation of renumeration. The results you achieve are incredibly valuable. Thank you for your selfless work.

[@tinanealon733]

There was a woman found here in Roane County, burned and dumped in a dumpster - and the stories I’ve been able to find said they did extract DNA. I wish someone like these ladies would work on her case to identify her.

[@peacelily7751]

Great job!!

[@nomi4560]

Thanks for your hard work

[@helenalind9164]

Wonderful wonderful ladies! My children will not allow me to leave DNA afraid of what? My mother’s father was born in 1890’s having ”father unknown” written in the records. Would really want to know who he was. The mother choose to Never reveal the identity. Helena, Sweden

[@susanaldridge2000]

Do it anyway, without their knowledge

[@SamStone1964]

Just go ahead and do it. It's your life and your ancestry.

[@CajunRed]

Do it! All I know about my Great grandfather's name: Jacob Twaddle. Nothing else, because he wanted a divorce & G Grandma said no. He was "supposedly" having an affair, with an un-named (to my knowledge) woman, & wanted to marry her. My Ggrandmother had just had my Grandma, or was close to delivery. Because he didn't get his way, he ate a bullet! So this was in 1902-1904ish, and nobody spoke about him after the suicide, after he took the cowards way out!!

[@SamStone1964]

@@CajunRed Have you tested your DNA to find out more about Jacob Twaddle?

[@user-zm3ny8tw4x]

Wonderful work. It must mean so much to people to know what has happened to a family member who disappeared without trace.

[@chriscaughey1103]

Thank you for all you do!!!

HiI wish we knew who Jane Doe was the incident happened outside of my house and my kids keep on asking about her all the time I would like to know if I could get more information so my children could pay their my ten-year-old keeps on talking about her everyday and every night before she goes to bed it's so hard when you have young ones and you really don't know what to tell them 😭😭😭🙏🙏

Neanderthal DNA is severely degraded: only small bits and pieces of less than 100 nucleotides . Svante Pääbo (Paabo) is the director for an entire Max Planck Institute in Germany. He is the leading scientist for sequencing both the neanderthal and denisova genomes. He is also a very nice person. Please contact him!

[@Atouk]

A billionaire could fund this project with a never ending trust.

[@SHurd-rc2go]

Men I think of - tip money for them.

[@edward7248]

Most certainly

[@sjgreene785]

Very interesting. Thank you.

[@CajunRed]

Hello ladies. I am trying to find ANY information on my great grandfather, Jacob Twaddle, living in the Carson Valley, possibly in Carson City, buried (I think) in Carson Cemetary! He asked my pregnant great grandmother (or recently delivered) my Grandmother, for a divorce, roughly in 1900-1904ish!! He was "supposedly" having an affair with some woman, & my Great grandmother said no. He took the cowards way out & comitted suicide. All I know is the name & those scant "supposed facts" at least that's what I was told. Considering, the time frime, people didn't discuss suicides!!

[@yourhomeisyourbusiness2221]

Have you taken a SNA test yourself? I found out loads of information about my families that I never knew.

[@tiffanyprichard2197]

I would love to volunteer my time

[@edward7248]

How about Reverse Culture Engineering

[@jennathekitten]

Kudos to the ladies for founding DNA projects, etc. However, I find these videos on the founders annoying because what I want to know is WHAT they found out, not who they researchers are. I am used to dateline, 48 hours and such, where feelings and self congratulatory bits are edited out in favor of the FACTS! Your message would be better transmitted by way of a documentary and or multiple frames to include all contributors without having to switch from one to the other.

[@Ishinews]

Hi, you may like to read our piece on the DNA Doe Project in the latest issue of The ISHI Report: promega.foleon.com/theishireport/may-2020/dna-doe-project-giving-the-unidentified-a-name/. There are a few cases described here in which they've had successes.

[@sewitaliano7423]

I really like hearing about these two exceptional women and why and how they started this company. I am in awe of them, thank you ladies, what your doing is priceless to families.

[@no1975]

I think it's great for people looking for their biological parents . But I think its getting out of hand, 3rd 4th cousins 🤔

[@deecath6082]

For heaven’s sake... it’s geneAlogy NOT geneOlogy!!!

[@Lamoka54]

It's almost impossible to hear and understand your guests and their very important information, over your constant giggling/laughing. Please stop doing that, it's a terrible distraction. Stop laughing. Interviewers are trained to NOT do that.
