About us

So far our group has shown just how diversified Romero's are.

We would like to encourage everyone to put yourself on the map, which appears under "Y Results," below the haplotype chart. In order to do this, you'll need to go to the "Set-up Preferences" tab in your personal page. At the bottom of that Set-up page, there is a place to enter the name of your earliest paternal ancestor, and the latitude and longitude of his place of origin. This data may be found in several places. One of them can be found by following the link provided by FTDNA right there. You may need to use the Internet Explorer browser and enter the name of the city and country again, when you get to the external mapping website. But this should provide the latitude and longitude. It has to be in decimal form, instead of the old form with degrees and minutes. Enter the decimal numbers into the boxes, and you should then be able to see your dot appear on the map! Click on the "+" sign to zoom in on the map, and "-" to zoom out. You can also switch to a lovely satellite photo for the background, using the button on the upper right-hand side. Enjoy!
