Hi, does anyone know of any developments on the Tolpuddle Martyr DNA project?? I ask because my step son-in-law is working in Canada on ancient DNA research, he was involved with the Titanic DNA tracings of the un-named remains in Ontario. He was very interested in the story of the Martyrs and expressed interest in testing of the remains of George and James if it was an up and running project? I had heard some talk about this last year - but unsure as to whether it was a 'wish' or a serious proposal? If anyone knows of anything please let me know.

Carol - . I believe that it originated with the Lovelace mailing list in the States. I know that it was not relevant for me as my Loveless connection is on my mother's side whose grandmother was Kate Loveless.
