Update from the Lancaster/Lancashire etc DNA project.
We do not yet have any Lancashires as such but we now have results for a very large Lancaster family who descend from one Robert Lancaster or Lancashire (Lanquishear) who was in Virginia in the 1600s. It seems he may be connected to the Lancashire family from the London region.
It would be fascinating if we could now finally have some Lancashire participation in this project. It is certain that Lancashire and Lancaster have occasionally been used by the same people, and so there should be fascinating connections and disconnections between the two surnames.
