Written by David Vance - creates a Phylogenetic Tree based on the inputted data. Y-DNA analysis.

SNP Tracker by Rob Spencer. Use the (/) toggle button to choose Y DNA () or mitochondrial (mt) DNA (). Simply type your haplogroup (ideally your terminal SNP) into the input box and click “Go” or hit return. If this SNP is known to the FTDNA Y or mt Tree, the map will show the path from “Y Adam” or “Mitochondrial Eve” to the SNP. You need type only the lower-level code, for example “M222” instead of the full “R-M222”. Y SNP names are as in FTDNA, not the older nomenclature, thus “I-L160” and not “I2a1a1” (although many short ‘classic’ labels will work, like R1a or G2). If what shows at the top-left of the map is different from what you typed, that’s because the tool automatically searches all SNP synonyms and displays the current FTDNA nomenclature. If your haplogroup is missing, then it’s not in the FTDNA Y or mt Tree.

On January 1, 1906, the newly established Pennsylvania Department of Health officially began to issue birth and death certificates. Prior to 1906, Pennsylvania births and deaths were recorded only sporadically by the counties and some cities such as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Genealogists must rely on county records or nongovernmental sources such as church registers, gravestone inscriptions and newspapers to obtain data for this earlier period.

From the Library of Virginia this online collection of Virginia Records is incredible and a great resource for searching Virginia roots.
