The Name is the Same....So What!

The website Genealogyintime.com recently published an article that explores the probability that people with the same surnames are related.

Researchers in England found that there is about a 1 in 4 chance that males sharing a common surname would actually share a common ancestor.

The article makes for interesting reading and a link is provided to further research if you are interested. You can find the article at http://tinyurl.com/2d3s9f3
