Last week ancestry.com came out with a new tool in conjunction with the DNA test - Genetic Communities. In summarizing, this is where it looks at all the millions of DNA samples and finds where there are geographically lots that match. It does not look at the names in the accompanying family trees of the DNA samples only the locations from roughly 1800-1850.
To understand the concept of the communities I did a one and a half hour webinar (free till April 6 2017) and then went to explore my communities.
Some believe the Palin name originated in Wales, and some believe it was from Normandy. What we are sure of is that more than four hundred years ago, our ancestors lived in Cheshire. Many of our branches have moved throughout the United Kingdom and some have emigrated to Canada, United States, Africa and Australia. Join us, as we explore the lives of our ancestors and how they were part of this wonderful tapestry of the Palin Family Tree!
