Lakehead University is playing a key role identifying one of the victims of the failed Franklin Expedition.
Stephen Fratpietro is the Technical Manager at the university’s Paleo-DNA Laboratory, and explains the lab used samples from a living family member to identify Warrant Officer John Gregory, engineer aboard HMS Erebus.
In 1845, British explorer Sir John Franklin attempted to chart the Northwest Passage with 129 sailors on two ships, Erebus and Terror. In 1848, 105 remaining crew attempted to escape after their ships became stuck in the ice, but none would survive. ....

LU Paleo-DNA lab helps identify lost Franklin Expedition member

THUNDER BAY - On July 9, 1845, Warrant Officer John Gregory, an engineer aboard HMS Erebus, sent a letter from Greenland to his wife Hannah before sailing off with the ill-fated Franklin Expedition into the Canadian Arctic and into an enduring historical mystery.
For 176 years that letter was the last Gregory’s descendants had known about his journey, but now they have an ending to his story, as his remains have become the first from the expedition to be identified genetically with the help of researchers at Lakehead University’s Paleo-DNA Lab.
“Everybody wants to know what happened. That’s the big question,” said Stephen Fratpietro, technical manager at the Centre for Analytical Services Paleo-DNA Laboratory. ....

The identity of the skeletal remains of a member of the 1845 Franklin expedition has been confirmed using DNA and genealogical analyses by a team of researchers from the University of Waterloo, Lakehead University, and Trent University. This is the first member of the ill-fated expedition to be positively identified through DNA.
DNA extracted from tooth and bone samples recovered in 2013 were confirmed to be the remains of Warrant Officer John Gregory, engineer aboard HMS Erebus. The results matched a DNA sample obtained from a direct descendant of Gregory.
The remains of the officer were found on King William Island, Nunavut. We now know that John Gregory was one of three expedition personnel who died at this particular site, located at Erebus Bay on the southwest shore of King William Island, says Douglas Stenton, adjunct professor of anthropology at Waterloo and co-author of a new paper about the discover ....
