Linking the Y-chromosomal haplotype from a high medieval (1160–1421) skeleton from a Podlazice excavation site with living descendants

TL;DR: DNA analysis of skeletal remains from a high medieval Podlazice burial site yielded data for lineage markers (mtDNA, Y-chromosome), and linked one of the retrieved Y-haplotypes with a group of individuals bearing the surname Dusanek (Duschanek).

The Origins of the Morleys in England and their Early Appearance in Wales

TL;DR: The early history of the Morley family in England and Wales is described in this paper, where the authors describe the early history and evolution of the family in several English counties, especially in Norfolk, Wiltshire and Lancashire where detailed records still exist.

Median-joining networks for inferring intraspecific phylogenies.

TL;DR: A method for constructing networks from recombination-free population data that combines features of Kruskal's algorithm for finding minimum spanning trees by favoring short connections, and Farris's maximum-parsimony (MP) heuristic algorithm, which sequentially adds new vertices called "median vectors", except that the MJ method does not resolve ties.
