From the article: "DNA analysis refutes the theory that Kaspar Hauser was a ‘lost prince’ of the House of Baden

"A new genetic analysis by an international team of scientists has helped bust a popular 200-year-old myth surrounding Kaspar Hauser, whose identity became one of the most mysterious riddles in German history."

Editor: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test results toss this "lost prince" theory into the dustbin of history. So, before you're "taken in" by an alleged descendant of the "Lost Dauphin," ask for DNA test results first!

Thank you, Mason Willett, and WHSV News for excellent coverage and for accurately representing what has come to be my life's work. Thank you, Bev, and presentation organizers, for inviting me to present!

Mason interviewed me right after I had finished giving a presentation on a very hot Sunday afternoon, on the 14th of July, down here in the Valley.

My late grandmother, Asselia S. Lichliter, who inspired the research which led to the uncovering of a hidden, North American - Native American - Acadian - Cajun family history, would have been so delighted to know that I have had so much fun following in her footsteps and making all of these discoveries about ancestors hidden in mine, and others, family trees.

"The sun never sets on DNA Genealogy History." She would have agreed with that statement!

Thank you to Barbara Cox, M.K. Miles, and Dr. David Scott for your invitation to the latest, GHOTES Conference at the beautiful Eastern Shore of Virginia Heritage Center in Parksley.
