Book Description
How many DNA testing companies will show you how to interpret DNA test results for family history or direct you to instructional materials after you have had your DNA tested? Choose a company based on previous customer satisfaction, and whether the company gives you choices of how many markers you want, various ethnic and geographic databases, and surname projects based on DNA-driven genealogy. Before you select a company to test your DNA, find out how many genetic markers will be tested. For the maternal line, 400 base pairs of sequences are the minimum. For the paternal line (men only) 37 markers are great, but 25 markers also should be useful. Some companies offer a 12-marker test for surname genealogy groups at a special price. Find out how long the turnaround time is for waiting to receive your results. What is the reputation of the company? Do they have a contract with a university lab or a private lab? Who does the testing and who is the chief geneticist at their laboratory? What research articles, if any, has that scientist written or what research studies on DNA have been performed by the person in charge of the DNA testing at the laboratory? Who owns the DNA business that contracts with the lab? How involved in genealogy-related DNA projects and databases or services is the owner?

Book Description
The Esquer family originated in the Spanish Basque province of Navarra. The family gained prominence around the beginning of the eighteenth century in Mexico City and on the northwestern frontier of New Spain. The social aspirations, religious beliefs, and traditions that sailed with the family to the New World in the late seventeenth century typified the culture of New Spain. This made it possible for the family to quickly adapt to the norms of their new home in colonial Spain, and to forge bonds to enhance their social and economic status. Upon arrival in New Spain, the Esquer family wasted no time in arranging marriage alliances with local Spanish and Creole families. Such marriages brought the Esquer family into the fold of the socially elite, as evidenced by their genealogy. This book is a journey through the centuries that follows the Esquer family from their home region of Navarra, Spain, to the northwestern frontier of New Spain, and into the early years of the Mexican Republic (from 1550 to 1850). It is a genealogy that was created from civil and Catholic Church archival sources, primarily for the Spanish provinces of Sinaloa, Sonora, and Alta California. The book's purpose is to serve as a resource for those searching their family's roots in the above- named geographic areas. Much of what is recorded is focused in what are today the cities of Culiacán, Sinaloa, and Álamos, Sonora, Mexico. It also features members of the 1775-1776 Juan Bautista de Anza expedition to Alta California. The genealogy follows a narrative format and is grouped by generation through the eighth generation. Known children of the eighth generation are included but with less information. The book features documented life events, such as births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials for more than 1,000 Esquer descendants, including spouses. Names of subjects, parents, spouses, witnesses, and godparents are included and indexed, and the source for each event is cited in a footnote.This current publication is a companion volume to the book, Esquer Family Chronicles, 1600-1800: From the Basque Country to the Northwestern Frontier of New Spain, originally written and published by Stella Cardoza in 2014 as a history of the Esquer family. An updated version is scheduled to be published in 2020.

Book Description

This book has been written for the historian as well as the amateur genealogist. John Browne Ayes is an experienced Biogeographical DNA Genealogist and Paleographologist. He has had his yDNA and mtDNA tested and has used the scientific results to empower his research and discovery project which is his personal family genealogy.
