P > ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::: Hi Steven: I am open minded about this issue and would like to hear more about your proposal. I might very well be willing to participate. My original Tuttle that landed at Rumney Marsh, MA came from England. However, after a short period of time, he wrote that he was "returning to Carrifergus, Ireland". He did go there and he died there. The significance of the word "returning" is uncertain to me, but may be quite significant. There are Tuttles in Ireland to this very day. My Tuttle line moved on to New Haven, CT and then to NY before ending up in Nova Scotia as Loyalists. I would be pleased to hear back from you about the DNA testing. Happy Holidays! Regards, Bill.
