    Sick I'm going to volunteer!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4460832.stm

    A team of scientists in Oxford is trying to prove whether families with the rare surname of "Christmas" all descend from a single male ancestor.

    They want to study the DNA of men from different Christmas clans to see if they are linked by a common genetic heritage as well as by their surnames.

    Duaphin - I assume it is your surname?

    Another poster here has relatives with the surname "Christmas"...

    There's a black football (or sth) guy in the USA with the same last name as me. He must be my brother.

    The article mentions it only wants people with known ancestors from East Anglia and/or Sussex.

    My paternal grandfather was from Ely in Cambridgeshire so I pretty much qualify.
