Eastern Standard Time, ROOTS-L-request@rootsweb.com writes: Let me second this posting. I saw it last week and it was absolutely compelling. The one part of it I really enjoyed was the DNA test which traced the mother's mitochondrial dna to different parts of the world. I would love to have that test done on me. I'm going to do research and see if I can. I caught the last half of the second part of the two part series and was fascinated. I do hope the series will be repeated. Mitochondria research is one of the most fascinating. If I understand it properly, it will take us back to a mother-land. I wasn't aware, however, of the specific racial make-up that could be discerned by the test. This, too, is intriguing. Shirley Maynard Hampton, VA
