A group of Americans with the surname of Conner (aka Connor/O' Connor) are seeing to find their > ancestors in Ireland by comparing DNA samples. Their ancestors migrated > to > America Colony in the 1700s. They are willing to pay for the test and to > bring a test kit to Ireland, if they can find suitable males with one of > the > above surnames who have a known pedigree dating back to about the mid > 1600s > or earlier. If you live in Ireland (Ireland only) and are willing to > participate in this > study. Contact me directly via email. My email address is: > halsheritage@tnaccess.com > > I will not be the person traveling to Ireland to deliver the Kit and take > the cheek swabs, as I am only a spokesperson for the group. Once the > results are back from the testing laboratory, we will post them along > with > a part of your pedigree on a DNA site in the USA for all possible > relatives > to review. We do not think it is a good idea to post living names in a > pedigree, but we are open to dialogue on this topic. If you have any > questions or comments, feel free to email me direct. If you wish to visit the DNA site use this link, but it does load slowly: http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/c/conner/results.html > > We have limited funds so we are restricting the DNA sampling to specific > areas in Ireland that we think our ancestors may have come from. We know > this is like searching for a needle in a haystack, but we feel we need to > try to locate our ancestral line in Ireland. Please, If you would be > willing to help us, contact me at the above email address. > > Thank you for your kind consideration.......Harold"
