[LM_NET] WAY OT: The Genographic Project

[N2Books <N2Books@CABLEONE.NET>]

Our daughter is graduating college this Dec.  She will have a degree in psychology 
with a specialty area in adoption and foster children.  As an adopted person, she 
has questions about her background, her ethnicity, etc.  We have always been 
upfront about her background but don't know a whole lot and haven't been able to 
find answers.

We wanted to surprise her with something she really doesn't expect and wondered 
about getting genographic typing through National Geographic's Genographic Project. 
 We realize the information will be general, but wondered if there would be enough 
specifics to give her some sort of idea of her genetic make up and the migration of 
her biological family.  For example, I'm pretty sure she's of Northern European 
heritage, because she's very fair skinned but would there be any more specific 
information?

If you are familiar with this project and could shed some light on this could you 
contact me off list?
