Nice to see a little activity on this board again.
In case you didn't know, Sue CURD (Guild of One Name Studies) is co-ordinating a project to try to connect the various CURD branches using DNA testing.
Have a look at this
http://www.familytreedna.com/. Enter CURD in the search box for more details.
With a few more tests we should be able to discover links between the scattered branches.
Sorry if this appears as one long line. I can't seem to find a way to format it properly!
Cheers
Brian
