I’ve been tracing Harvey’s deep patrilineal ancestral roots (father’s father’s father’s line etc.) through the use of Y-DNA. In other words I’ve been looking at Barnes DNA. Join me as I journey from ‘Adam’ in Africa through to the 20th … Continue reading

The Deed is done! What Deed?…I hear you say. The Deed Poll, that’s what! No this isn’t a riddle or a joke and it’s not a hypothetical either. For some time now, I’ve been considering incorporating my maiden name back … Continue reading
