Have you had your DNA tested? Given your research you would be a good candidate. And I suspect you have had contact with a lot of other Atwell/Attwell researchers. Given the likely interconnection between Wells and Attwell/Atwell I would suggest we pull you folks into the Wells project where we have a resource of something like 600 who have been tested although we have not gotten all of them to enter our project. I see only two Attwell/Atwell folks who were tested at Sorenson and maybe 10 at Family Tree DNA plus one at Ancestry, so there is probably a large untapped resource out there. Contact me directly if you are interested in taking the DNA test through our project. orinwells@wells.org Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
