It would also establish which of the DNA baseline tested Pages had a common Page ancestor in England. For example, I strong suspect that my George Page of Branford Conn. who came c. 1662 from county Kent was closely related to the Col. John Page who came to Virginia c. 1650 from county Middlesex . If I could prove the family connection by DNA tests, I would be willing to help further investigate, or participate in ongoing genealogical research, of John Page's ancestors in England. The same type of baseline DNA results would be useful in determining any connection between the Pages of Ormsby, county Norfolk, and the Kentish Pages. The baseline results could be used way into the future for coming generations to also establish their Page line. George W. Page
