I am forwarding this to the list just in case anyone might be interested. I am not a Rains descendant myself, but my husband is connected through the Hancocks. Fay Clark From: [email protected] Hi Fay, I found where you may have done some research on the Newman Rains family. I am a member of the Rains Research Group. We have started a dna project to try and connect different Rains' families using dna. If you know any Rains' males who would be interested in testing please let me know. It's not a blood test just a mouth swab. I will pay the cost of $169.00 for any descendant of Newman Rains. The website that explains more about this is at familytreedna.com. The Rains website is www.sonic.net/~melvaw/ There are lots of Rains families already participating. But none of them are descendants of Newman Rains.
