Yes, may as well find out which 'Clan' I actually come from. I wonder what tartan they were wearing back then!!!! Still trying to find out the details of where to order the DNA kit though. Anyone who does come across it, let us know. Cheers Aileen |

Very interesting. anyone remember that stone-age skeleton they found in cheshire a few years back? They detracted some DNA from the old bones and they traced the DNA back down to a modern day local school teacher. just a little quirky point about the spelling/misspelling of Genealogy, boring stuff coming up .. lol There are on-line services that track what key words have been searched on the Internet. This is real data, showing what real people have been searching for. For example, over a two month period, 10,722 searches were done for the key word 'genealogy' (by a group of popular search engines--this data is from WordTracker). Not surprising really because genealogy is so popular. The common misspelled key word 'genology' had 302 searches done over that same two month period. The common misspelled key word 'geneaology' had 711 searches done. Here's the amazing part. The MOST commonly misspelled word, 'geneology' was searched for 5988 times! That is over half of the times that the correct spelled word genealogy was. posted by me at the ungodly hour of 2:42am cos i cant sleep!! |

I was born in the midlands, got back to 1595 on my mums side, found out I'm from the midlands, they didnt seem to travel very far. Think dad's side may have moved more but can't research until I have more info. AL |

WD. I noticed your request for an address or details on how to order the kit. I've had a look at the website and there is an order form there. Go to the site and click on the 'how to become part of the Geonographic Project'; then in the 'Participation Kit' section there is a tab for 'Order' click on the 'International' tab next to the order tab. At the bottom of the page there is an order form....$126.50. Hope this helps. Jax |
