      The Federation of Family History Societies, of which we are a member, has drawn our attention to the following study of population movement patterns. Do you qualify to help?

      GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATION IN BRITAIN’S GENETIC HISTORY PROJECTDid you know that historical patterns of people’s movements, from
      Anglo-Saxon invasions to those of the Vikings and Normans, may have an
      impact on 21st Century medical science?

      To investigate this, three Oxford professors have been given funding by the
      Wellcome Trust to launch a study to analyse the geographical variation in
      Britain’s genetic history.

      If you have settled in the same rural area as your parents and all four
      grandparents and would like to volunteer or learn more about the project,
      get in touch with Susan Tonks or Bruce Winney on +44 (0)1865 228 627, by e-mail
      [email protected],  [email protected], or by post
