Hi Folks, We have our first European NEWTON DNA sample. This Newton male claims descent from a Newton clan that inhabited Sussex, England in the late 1700s and early 1800s, and then Surrey, England from the mid 1800s. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gbonner/newtondna/ Some of our existing participants should be particularly interested in this, as the fellow proved to be indistinguishable from our Node D grouping (i.e., the NEWTONs of Buckingham/Cumberland). Since he used a different testing lab, the markers don't match up exactly. But of those first twelve markers, 10 were tested and were exact matches, earning him the node D* designation. Also, another marker in the second group was tested, and was also found to match. So, all in all, he matches 11/11 to our existing node D. I encourage those with interest in node D, and also the similar node L to take a look. Best, Gregg Bonner NEWTON Surname DNA Project Group Administrator --------------------------------- Luggage?
