U3A Class R09 Session 6 commences at 11:00 am Thursday. #term4 #hebrews

G'day all,? Thank you for your
understanding about my absence last Thursday.?
This is a reminder that next Thursday’s class will proceed as scheduled at 11 am on 19 November. As an aside, while taking
a break from class prep, I checked my DNA matches which is like a busman's
holiday because of all the biblical genealogies. A new academic paper posted last month was entitled "442 Ancient Viking Skeletons Hold DNA Surprises."? It covered an article just
published in?Nature?magazine entitled "Population genomes of
the Viking world" that reported the results of a six-year
project.??442 Viking skeletons from outside Scandinavia were
sequenced by a university lab, producing whole genome sequences for both men
and women from known Viking battlefield sites outside Scandinavia.?All remains are more than
1,000 years old.? The Viking culture thrived from the 8th to the late 11th
centuries, or so they thought. Well, the paper DID hold surprises!? Through Dad, I’m
directly related to two of the Vikings and through Mom a half-dozen others. What’s
astonishing to me is that three of my relatives fell in the same battle in
Salme, Estonia, 100 years before the Vikings were supposed to be Viking’ing.? One is a direct paternal ancestor and two are
related through my maternal ancestry.
Knowing me as you do,
you might guess that I immediately ripped off another PowerPoint for my
school-age nephews, nieces, and grandkids (attached if you might be interested).? Beware, there are some happy-snaps of my Viking
ancestors.? The two names given in the PowerPoint are Reino Sarlin (my Dad) and Selma Leyde (my Mom's mother). Please don’t buy any
horned helmets for me for Christmas, though; those first appeared in early 19th
century Wagnerian opera. This email affirms
that I am alive and surviving.? Hope that you are, too. Blessings, Ray |
