I'm looking for CT Norton's from Sharpenhoe, NY Norton's and Massachusetts Norton's to join. http://www.nortonfamily.net/DNA.htm We have 7 samples in and have matched 3 families! What DNA can do for your research. ================================== 1) Do you suspect a connection but can't prove it? DNA testing can lock down that connection. We've done this with 2 of our families so far. 2) Are you completely blocked? If we can get samples from the families who know their roots, we can establish family signatures so that others can match. For instance, we have established a signature for the David, James and John Norton of KY 1800's. Any Norton who matches this signature can be assured of his family history. The same holds true for the other Norton lines. I would like to establish a signature for the Sharpenhoe Nortons and Irish Nortons as well as the York Nortons. The test is easy, just a q-tip rubbed inside your cheek. The cost is 33% less than Family Tree DNA published rates with our family discount. contact Scott Norton at snorton@nortonfamily.net or visit the DNA Project web site. http://www.nortonfamily.net/DNA.htm
