Hi Nick & All, I have long suspected there is some kind of connections to Grp 9, 19, 29, 8, and 26. There is a lot of emphases on the Progenitor of the PRA Family Groups. But, I think some of the groups may be related LONG BEFORE we get to the progenitors. For this reason, I have been working on filling in the gaps leading up to John Penington, my progenitor of Group 9 along with finding sources for what is already listed in the file. Thankyou for the update on the DNA findings. Yes, Bless your heart, anything you can do to make the DNA results easier for the laymen, like myself would be wonderful. Thanks for posting your advice, pointing a finger (Leads)for us. Most of all your dedication to the PRA and it's members. I know that I really appreciate the fact that the DNA Study helps us focus on particular group. I was delighted to see that Group 7 was able to use the DNA to possibly move them into the next generation of their Family Group. Just an outstanding job! I will follow-up on this Elijah and Richard thing shortly.
