Living DNA
Hi Cousins! Thought I’d let you know about a new DNA company in town. They are different than the other DNA companies at the present time, because they are doing a GEOGRAPHIC matching within the British Isles. They have recently begun advertising quite a bit – their company is called LIVING DNA. Below is a copy of a portion of a friend of mines results, who comes from very recent English/Irish immigrants to America:
At the current time they are not doing “cousin matching” but I believe they plan to offer that feature in the coming year.
I was a bit curious about how this would come out for me, so I am going to do a test with them. Inasmuch as my most recent immigrant ancestor is Charles Vosper from Plymouth (b. 1865), with ancestors from Cornwall, I expect my strongest % will be Cornwall. However, I have other ancestors who immigrated in the 1600s from Ireland, Scotland, and various places in England, and I’m interested in seeing the results. You can be sure I will let you know how it turns out!
If you haven’t yet tested your DNA, I urge you to take advantage of the holiday sales and test with Ancestry.com.
Just thought I’d send this out while I’m waiting for more Cousin headshots….
Later,
Cousin Teri
