My Arnolds go back to about 1500 in the Isle of Wight. There has seemed to be a connection with a lot of Isle of Wight people and Dorset families per the wills I have seen, but if my Arnold like is connected, it is VERY early Beverly

Beverly I have another man who connects to this branch - he has done a DNA test and unfortunately he cannot connect to me and my Dorset DNA I can pass you on to him - I am sure he will be happy to talk to you His name is Alan ARNOLD [I can tell give you more detail privately] I have every single Dorset ARNOLD will and there is not one mention of Isle of Wight? Alan and I have been over them all - I do list most of these wills on the OPC Dorset page under Miscellany I have since bought more from other sources other than Dorset PRO I did find a mention - Something like 'Styled son of Thomas Arnold of Milton Abbas' c1700 this is the line is who Alan's connected to and he can't match with anyone I wont pass your name on to him until you say Dratts I was hoping you were one of mine Sincere Jill Morley

You can give him my name Beverly *************************************** When replying to this message, please spare a thought for your fellow list members, and anyone searching the archives in the future.
