Saturday Night Fun? ;-)

This exercise performed in response to Randy Seiver's Saturday Night (Oct 1, 2011) Genealogy Fun (SNGF)

I have not done my mitochondrial DNA testing or which Haplogroup ID. I have DNA samples at FamilyTreeDNA, so I suppose this could be done for an additional charge. I really don't know what it would mean to me. A reply would be welcome.

My matrilineal line is:

1. William L. Smith
2. Mary Eileen Kinnick (1918 Coon Rapids, Iowa -1999 Coon Rapids, Iowa) married Leverne Smith
3. Dorothy Christine Sorensen (1887 Denmark - 1982 Coon Rapids, Iowa) married Paul Harold Kinnick
4. Jensene Marie Nielsen (1852 Aalborg, Denmark - 1906 Guthrie Co, Iowa) married Lauritz Christian Sorensen
