Hello Hazel. Guess we need more information from you before we can help. First, please understand that there are MANY places throughout the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and I suppose elsewhere as well... that were named by the original settlers after the places they came from in Great Britain and Ireland. Cramlington, Northumberland, and Blight are all just such names. I will wager there are about 20 to 50 of them spread around the world. Now, can you clarify where these places are, and give us some dates and places of birth, marriage, emigration, death? If we have this info, we MIGHT be able to help. {:-) Regards Dave Strong ============================ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russell Laird" <rll.geo@yahoo.com> To: <STRONG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 5:27 AM Subject: [STRONG] family history (new subscriber) > Hello Hazel, > > I've taken the liberty of subscribing you to > STRONG-L.

Dave: I received three emails this afternoon indicating that there was a match in the DNA study for the DNA kit my uncle submitted. However, when I attempted to use the email address provided, it would not go through. Since the name was David, I'm wondering if they aren't just using you as a central contact point?? If not, can you tell me how I might contact the person to whom my uncle is said to have a 99.9% likelihood of a common ancestor? Thanks. Rene'
