Re: Is the USA better?
I've just emailed to my Brummie DH, but my DIL is from Birmingham, AL so we're covered either way.

Re: Is the USA better?
I think it'd be cool to get one of those dna search things done. My Mom's side is easy, both her paternal and maternal grandparents immigrated from Sicily about 1912 or so. My Dad's side is a little more muddled, some ancestors having come over from Wales in the mid 1600's.

You do-a swab from the inside of your mouth, but as a woman I don't have that paternal thing going on. I think the only DNA thing I can do, is like Tom said and do the which daughter of Eve or whatever. That and I think it does show or can also show Native American heritage.

Anyway, I found a brother of her's, who had a son, who had a son. Trouble is I can't find any mention of this son after 1942.

For example-Dewhurst is one of my family tree names AND they have a DNA Dewhurst/Dewhirst project going on. Well because my Dewhurst was a woman, I need to track down her male relatives to see if he'd do a test and then I could find out how I hook up with the Dewhursts/Dewhirsts already posted, cause so far I'm batting zero.

I only did his paternal side as it was quite expensive. I never actually seen the results but from what I heard they traced back to Northern Europe and/or the Urals.

I'd be interested to see the maternal side as his Mom was very dark.

Have you tried the church of latter day saints ( Mormons), apparently they are an excellent resource for genealogy
