    Y test results: haplogroup R1b1b21a2a1a1a = y-chromosome of the earliest known Hester b 1729/30
    A much newer estimate for R1b1b2 arising is around 4,000 to 8,000 years ago in the area of Bashkir of the Bashkortostan and Perm region .

    Mitochondrial DNA = cell body DNA inherited via the mother's mother's mother etc: haplogroup H with HVR1 mutations 16295T and 16519C This group evolved from the R group into the V, H, HV and RO groups about 30,000 years ago in the area of Croatiy and all migrated thence

    Katherine and Robert seem to have one or both of the following, which I have been diagnosed for:
    1. Exon 2: Codon 70 GAT (Aspartate)  GGT (Glycin) D70G = atypical variant (A) heterozygot 
    2. Exon 4: Codon 539 GCA (Alanin)  ACA (Threonin) A539T = K variant (K) heterozygot

    which mean:
    Pathogenic mutations in butyrylcholinesterase gene (BChE) an essential cause of butyrylcholinesterase deficiency and a lengthened neuromuscular blockade associated with it or apnoe after administering succinylcholin or mivacurium as anasthetics. The first of these genes is prevalent in the US without a national origin as yet named and in Europe in Greek and Yugoslavian populations. 

    Since my father's family reveals no hint of origins in Southeastern Europe, I expect this comes from my mother's side. As both her parents descend from Nathaniel Pope and the name  looks neither Anglosaxon nor Norman nor Welsh nor Scottish but rather Greek I expect to find that the family appeared in England shortly after the fall of Constantinople. Of course, her mother's Norman ancestors also had a few Greek connections during the Crusades and earlier with the Carolingians and Merowingians as well as over other pre French, Italian and Spanish lines, so this will not come out, until comparisons have been made with other Pope relatives, for which a check with John Hopkins University Clinic is intended, as they have been compiling the American statistics.

    What's wrong with this stogy? I'm just doing what Daddy and Granddaddy do. After all I am one year old today.

    Note the difference in ear lobe attachment in this picture after 69 years:

    The attached ear lobe is a recessive trait, so one gene was inherited paternally and one maternally. Eustace Granger Hester (He2) and his father as well as some of his siblings but not all seem to have had attached ear lobes. As does Matilda Prather Nicholas (Ni3), but Thomas E. Bland and George Nicholas (Ni4) and his father did not, while Mary Anna Pope (Po4) did, so the probabilities are a little stronger that one gene each came from Willoughby Griffith Hester (He3) and one from Mary Anna Pope. Since we are talking about a recessive trait, inheritance from Elena McConnell and either Thomas E. Bland or George Nicholas are also possible but somewhat less likely.
