At last I have heard back from Oxford Ancestors, and our messages are below. They have written good news, but they thought we would only have ten. We are still missing the participation with address of a male PAGE proven to be from the line of John and Phoebe (Payne) Page of MA. This is the first PAGE line in America, and a very important one. What a shame not to have a representative from that line because they don't feel they can afford the reduced rate of $150! The cost ($150) is a small investment to be made which will help their posterity, as well as help the rest of us create the database of DNA fingerprints. IF you are a male PAGE anywhere in the world, please contact me ASAP with your name and address and agreement to participate, whether or not you know your Page line. George W.
