Is everyone aware of the Perkins DNA project? It's being administered by Steven C. Perkins, you can find information on it at his web page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scperkins/PerkinsDNA.html or at http://www.familytreedna.com The project is an attempt to discover the ancestry of different Perkins families, and to explore the connections (if any) between them. It will also generate a lot of data that can help future researchers. Any Perkins male can be tested, it's very simple. Give it a look! Bill Perkins
