 | In late 2024, John Creer, having set up the project in
2010, has largely retired from any active involvement in the study, as old
age has started to take its toll!! And he is no longer able to devote the
time and energy to the project as in the past - fortunately:- |
| Robert Cannell has kindly offered to take over the lead
project coordinator role from that time on, to ensure that the fruits of the
project research are not wasted and to allow new ideas and approaches to be applied
to this valuable area of Manx historical research for the future. |
| This coincides at the same time with the decision to
include Manx matrilineal mitochondrial DNA testing and analysis in the scope
of the project for the first time. Therefore, whilst historically the focus
of activity in this project has been directed at Y-DNA testing and analysis,
anyone now with a Manx maternal line ancestry is being encouraged to take
part and be mitochondial DNA tested. More information on this can be
obtained by contacting Robert
Cannell directly |
