Marie, I just got word that my DNA came through and on top of that I think I have found a match in one Reggie Swain of England! check my chart below and his that follows. I further in my records one Ann Sollars who married a John Swain in 1823 in Painswick, Glos., England. If I am understanding this correctly and Reggie confirms things, then I have "finally" found my blood connection to England even though I have been unable to locate an immigration from England or anywhere else of my SOllars ascendants. Have you gained an understanding of how this all works? Reggie and I have 12 matching markers and I assume that is sound evidense that England is my country of origin. I should imagine as this process becomes wider known, there will be more ties. Looking forward to hearing from you. Lady, I cannot thank you enough for the gift of this DNA study!
