Only for the serious. Check out this opportunity to trace your ancestry through your DNA. This is a big deal in Europe and you cand find out online at:

http://www.dnaancestryproject.com/

or

http://dna.ancestry.com/welcome.aspx

The ancestry.com page will give you a look at a sample report. This could be fun if you are at a deadend with you tracing or just want to see what this is all about.

I think I will try and link myself to that beack on Ile de Re.
