'The S*RM*N Family History Society together with their cousins in the USA have started a DNA Project to fill in the voids made by the absence of a paper trail, and to try and find the origins of the surname whether this be from a single ancestor, given nickname, trade or locality. We have two co-administrators for the Project:-
William A. SIRMON who will work with the USA & Canada
E-mail Address(es): sirmon@netdoor.com and
Maureen SURMAN who will work with UK, Australia, South Africa and Europe
E-mail Address(es): Maureen@msurman.freeserve.co.uk

The web site address for Family Tree DNA, where a lot of information is given for those unfamiliar with the subject, is:
http://www.familytreedna.com/ and the S*RM*N DNA Project has been added to:
http://www2.netdoor.com/~sirmon/dna/dnaindex.html
You can email either of us to ask any questions or a form to become a volunteer. Alternatively you can request a kit direct from the FTDNA web site.'
