Hi List,

Are you interested in learning more about DNA testing to try and find your elusive ancestors? I did it with my Hawkins family line, (they weren't Cornish), and found a tie in with an established Hawkins line that has a paper trail back to Jeffrey and Dorothy Hawkins who came over with William Penn aboard the Welcome. I realize I was very lucky but you just never know...

Anyway, there's going to be a series of television programs on this subject starting tonight and lasting 3 nights. For those of you who don't live in the Orange County/Los Angeles area of California, you can access the same information via website after the shows air. Please see the following information to learn more about the program and the times it will air.

I'm a member of SCGS, Southern California Genealogical Society, and I do not receive any monetary gain for letting you know about the program.

Sincerely,
Jan Mackey
