I'm waiting for one of the possible male Wainwright descendants to complete a DNA test to prove (or disprove) this. Another clue is that the Dale name comes from a village of the same name in Norway although I doubt we'll ever be able to prove that connection. If you haven't done so already, please login to FTDNA and add your Y-DNA to the Dale surname project. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
