[RASEY-DNA] New Member #110919, with results, desc/o Joseph RAZEE I

[Razee, Kenneth]

Diana, I was going through my father's tree that you have.  I can
clarify a few things.  My father Gerald Razee is the son of Earl Razee
and Mildred Razee, maiden name Greene.  She did die in Ohio and is
buried there.  She was my grandmother.  My uncle, Earl and Mildred's
other son, is named Elwin, not Edwin and he lives in Florida.  He did
not have any sons, but did have 3 daughters.  Dad, can you add to this.
There is no definite date on what year your parents were married or when
Uncle El was born nor his middle name.

Thanks,

Ken

RAZEE I

Hello List,

First, I would like to apologize for my recent absence in managing the
list.
Illness and a death in the family put genealogy on the back burner for
several
months, but now I'm back home in Florida and, finally, getting caught
up.  So, I
hope our newest member will forgive me for not annoucing him at the time
he
joined or when his results first came in -- of course, he has known the
results
of his testing, even if the rest of you haven't.

Our new member is #110919, a descendant of Joseph RAZEE I.  He is a
35/37 match
(genetic distance of 3) with #70816, the previously tested descendant of
Joseph
RAZEE I.  Their three differences are all on fast-mutating markers, so
this
level of matching is consistent with the two of them having a near
common
ancestor:

http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/DNA/Rasey/RaseyDNA-results.shtml#I2b1

Now that we have two descendants of Joseph RAZEE I tested, ones who
descend from
Joseph through different sons, we can rest assured that neither
individual has
an NPE (a "non-paternal event," e.g., a hidden adoption or illicit
paternity) in
his patrilineal line.  (We still don't have a second descendant of
Joseph RASEY
I tested, so there is still an outside chance that the one we do have
tested
could have an NPE.)

You will undoubtedly notice the change in haplogroup designation, from
I1b2a
(old I1c) to I2b1.  On 5 May 2008, the International Society of Genetic
Genealogy (ISOGG) and FamilyTreeDNA released a long-awaited revision of
the
Y-DNA haplotree.  This revision was necessitated by the many new SNP
mutations
discovered since FTDNA last published their Y-Hap tree in 2005.  I'm
afraid we
will all just have to get used to the new designations, and I'm also
afraid
we'll have to do it again when the haplotree is revised again -- such is
the
nature of a new science that keeps evolving (pun intended).

I recommend that our new member upload his results to Ysearch.  This can
be done
from the "Y-DNA Matches" tab on your member page.

Thank you for joining, and thank you for your patience.

Diana
