Joseph Smith DNA
This is pretty interesting:
http://mormontimes.com/DB_index.php?id=1722 Looks like JS was more Irish than English. But what I found more intriguing was the discussion of identifying JS descendents via DNA. Sorry SU, but it looks like your homegirl Brodie whiffed on a few of her predictions re: JS illegitimate kids.

It is very interesting. SU response: What can we expect from a Mormon apologist?

Marker M222 is the technical term for "believing blood."

They're attacking about five lines of Fawn's book that were couched as speculation.

I'm surprised that Mormontimes would be so straightforward about JS's polygamy. It must be becoming a more mainstream topic.
