South America: Postdoc at the Genographic Center in South America and Brazilian native Pedro Paulo Vieira just returned from his second visit with the Xavante tribe in the Pimentel Barbosa territory of Brazil. He is currently working with the Xavante people in hopes to better understand the tribe's ancient migration routes. During this past visit, Pedro spent ten days in the village conducting Genographic outreach. In their local language, the Xavante refer to Pedro as T'serini'omön or Eagle Wing.

East and Southeast Asia: The Genographic Center based in East Asia at Fudan University reports of its team's recent findings from an expedition to Xigazê (Shigatse), China. The team's sampling suggests that the Tibetan population has ancient roots that predate the last ice age. Genographic Post doc, Sonia Sagrista reports of the close relationship that the team has formed with the people of Xigazê and their eagerness to return soon.

Cornell University has launched its first ever Genetic Ancestry Project. Spencer Wells, a Rhodes Professor at Cornell, is working closely with genetics professor Chip Aquadro on the semester-long Project. Read about how 200 random undergraduates swabbed, along with Cornell's Genetic Ancestry project's plans for the semester.

My Espinosa Family: Having researched the origins of his paternal lineages for many years in Spain, Portugal, and Ecuador, a public participant traced his family's heritage back to Ecuador but then hit a brick wall. Hoping to learn more, he tested with the Genographic Project, and his results surprised him, revealing his ancient ancestors' roots in Western Europe while also supporting the origins of his surname, Espinosa.
We want to hear your personal migration story too. Tell us what you learned about your deep ancestry from the Genographic Public Participation Kit. Has it changed the way you view yourself or others?

As part of our partnership with The Silk Road Project, world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma's multidisciplinary education foundation, roughly 400 students at four different New York City public schools have the opportunity to trace their deep ancestry with the Genographic Project this school year. In early January, the Genographic team visited Edward Bleeker Middle School in Flushing, New York, to swab with the students and discuss where they think they might be from.

"Haz tu Arbol Genealogico...El Arbol mas Hermoso de la Creacion"
Por medio de la historia familiar descubrimos el árbol más hermoso de la creación: nuestro árbol genealógico. Sus numerosas raíces se remontan a la historia y sus ramas se extienden a través de la eternidad. La historia familiar es la expresión extensiva del amor eterno; nace de la abnegación y provee la oportunidad de asegurarse para siempre una unidad familiar".
(Élder J. Richard Clarke, Liahona julio de 1989, pág.69)
