The Bull from the Sea is a fictional interpretation of life in ancient Greece as it might have been experienced by the legendary Greek hero Theseus. While the novel focuses on a mythical figure, Renaultâs portrait of the society in which he is supposed to have lived is based on extensive scholarly research into the Mycenaean civilization that actually existed in Greece between about 1500 and 1100 b.c.
Your direct paternal lineage is the line that follows your fatherâs paternal ancestry. This line consists entirely of men. Y-DNA follows the direct paternal line. Your Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) can trace your father, his father, his fatherâs father, and so forth. It offers a clear path from you to a known, or likely, direct paternal ancestor. Your Y-DNA may help you find genetic cousins along your direct paternal line.
May10. The direct male line descendant of Ole Monsen Titland (1702-1764) is a Y-chromosome DNA 34/37 match to my Dad, who we thought was also a descendant of Ole. Now we know he is! Thank you so much cousin Sigmund for finding a distant cousin in direct paternal descent to test. This story was written up a few months back in a post here but we were waiting on the DNA Y-chromosome STR test to prove our theory. Now it is proven.
