My Webbs were from Kilkenny, Glos., then moved to Sherston, Wilts Just to let everyone know -- the WEBB DNA Project has one DNA sample from Wilthshire (documented to mid-1700s) and one from a Gloucestershire WEBB Family with similar length of documentation. The Wiltshire WEBB unexpectedly turned up matching some of our US WEBBs. The DNA Project has assisted WEBBs in the US with making connectinos -- it can do the same for WEBBs in England (and Ireland) and maybe we will make a few Transatlantic connections as well. DNA does not and cannot replace traditional genealogy. It can however save time, effort and money chasing down lines which are not related, and is helping sort out those Johns, Williams, Henrys, James, etc. Nor does the DNA website and newsletter intend to replace this list -- many of our participants have posted here today.
