I'm on a Jewish genealogy email list, and Kevin posts there frequently, with an impressive depth and breadth of knowledge about maternal lines. I wanted to know more, so I ordered this book. Although Jewish male lines have been studied extensively, genealogists haven't paid as much attention to the maternal line. This book helps remedy that oversight, and it also includes information on yDNA.
This book has four chapters: an introduction to Ashkenazic history and genetics, an encyclopedia listing the Ashkenazi maternal lines (this is most of the book), a chapter about related non-Ashkenazi haplogroups, and a conclusion discussing various theories of migration patterns associated with various haplogroups.
I'm a K1a4a, relatively rare, and my 100*great-grandmother probably lived in Italy or Greece. Pretty cool, just to contemplate all the women who preceded me, their mothers and their daughters, an unbroken line going way back.
This is not an intro to genetic genealogy, but for anyone interested in the topic, it's a fascinating resource and addition to the genealogy reference library.
