That is very interesting, Phil, Interesting, too, is the fact that you live in the area where the Thomas French faimly lived before coming to America with William Penn. Has your family been in Northamptonshire forever? And have you submitted your DNA to our FRENCH DNA Project?

You may or may not know, But Northamptonshire is the ancestral home of George Washingtons family and,in fact, his uncle has a tomb in a church 2 miles awayu from me, in Thrapston. The Washington family crest bears stars and stripes (3 of each, I think, but I'm not positive on the amount) Sorry if I've wasted your time with information that you already knew, Best Regards, Phil French
