In the BBC news today, scientists have discovered that this wonderful island of ours (no, no, not the Seychelles) was peopled some 200,000 earlier than previously thought. It brought a smile to my face when I thought that if it were possible to trace your family to the earlier days, you would now be facing another long haul!
How far can one go with this research? I think most of us have to live with the knowledge that further than 1500AD, we have no chance. Though it is possible via DNA research to take you back further to your paternal clan and your ancient ancestral father as claimed by Oxford Ancestors. (BTW, if any of you readers decide to take their services, let them know where you heard it here).
