Is the DNA of General Rommel available for genealogical purposes?

you can catch it from his tomb.\n\nbut you first must kill me to do it.

Most genealogy programs will have an import function that you can try to use.  But it will be highly dependent on the format of the text file you have.  If it's is a fairly standard format you shouldn't have any trouble, but if it's your grandmother's memoirs you may have a tough time :)\n\nSome more ideas in the link.

That's an interesting question.  The clone would grow up looking identical to the original Hitler and those who cloned him from Hitler's blood would know it and might have ulterior motives.  Ordinarily the clone would be a distinct person (neither good nor bad) but could be groomed (conditioned) to replace Hitler in all his evils.  He might think it's his birthright.  That would be reason enough to not use Hitler's blood to make a clone.  Also, if Hitler was psychotic, there might be a better than even chance that his clone would be similarly afflicted, if the problem was organic.

It depends.\n\nIf there is any tissue or marrow left you could do a crude DNA analysis and look for X and Y chromosomes.\n\nIf you had some history you could do a bone size/mass analysis. We know that males and females have different growth curves and rates. Looking at the size of the bones, you could determine a number of factors if you started with at lest one bookmark point like date of birth.\n\nIf you look at a cross section of the bone, depending on preservation, there are celluar differences that will help determine this, as well as racial background.\n\nOne nice thing about fiction, is that you can take liberties. Look at the TV Show CSI. Its a hit. But do you really think it is all done that way? DNA analysis takes days not minutes. Most times, the CSi techs are specialized and do only one aspect, like fingerprint analysis, they do not disassemble cars, run simulaions and do fingerprint analysis. So the point is that iwth a good story, the little details are overlooked and forgiven. You could very easily fugde the science and few would notice and of those that did, if the story was decent few would care. Another example, Jurassic Park. It was based on science in concept. Cloning is possible. Amber contains insects with blood from the time of dinosaura. Why not combine the two and clone T-Rex. Sounds good, but it does not mention all the details that make this impossible. But it was a great story, so the reader just doen't even think about it.\nGood luck with your novel.

The Mormon Church and others have great databases that are accessible by internet and in person looking for Geneology.  They can find generations back further than 1700.

sure if you know what county he was married in you can get a copy from the county clerk/recorder but it would probably cost you a small fee for reproduction (copy)

I was able to get some of my father's WWII records by starting at this site:\n\nhttp://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html\n\nWhat I got wasn't complete & I was informed that sometimes the records from that era are sketchy.\n\nGood Luck!

If your grandfather is still living, ask him as far back as he knows. What year was your great grandfather Holly Lee Ell born? Was he born in Belonzi, MS? If so, call the county clerk and see how far back birth/death/marriage records were kept. If the years are in range, make a visit, if possible, to the courthouse. If not, they will usually do it for a fee. The birth, death, and sometimes marriage certificates have parents' names and places of birth.\n\nAlso you can use the US census data. Sites like ancestry.com are very good for that, as are your local library and the National Archives..

There is a rumor that he was married to a German women when he was in his 20s but Daddy would have nothing of it, especially considering our relationship with the Germans at the time. So, the marriage was kinda deleted off the records so to say.\n\nI don't necessarily believe that story, but I have heard of it before in case that's what you're trying to think of.

I assume you've asked your parents and any surving friends or siblings of your grandfather? If you can find out the name of his division, then you might be able to google for an organization of veterans of that division. They might have pictures.

There's a chance you can find them through www.Ancestry.com , You'd have to pay for it.  There is also a chance, depending on where and when they were born and died that you can obtain them through the town hall in the city where they were born.

That would be a violation of HIPPA, which provides protection for our medical records. I do believe that law enforcement officials can search for DNA matches of those who have given samples, but civilians cannot and, I believe, should not be able to. Your DNA is similar to those you are related to: your mother, father, siblings. Humans also share basic DNA sequences.
